Cloud Server Pairing Information Transfer Between Smart Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in transferring and re-pairing secondary devices with new primary devices due to the loss or erasure of identification and pairing information, requiring repetitive reinitiation of the pairing process.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for transmitting, storing, and retrieving identification and pairing information between secondary devices and primary devices into and from a distinct server or storage media, allowing seamless transfer of this information between devices without reinitiating the pairing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If pairing information is stored only in the primary device, then the device can maintain connections with secondary devices, but the user must reinitiate pairing when switching devices or if information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
A cloud server acts as an intermediary storage medium between primary and secondary devices. The server stores pairing information and device identifiers, enabling users to retrieve this data when switching primary devices, thereby eliminating repetitive re-pairing processes while maintaining connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
Pairing information is preliminarily stored in the cloud server during the initial pairing process. This preliminary storage action ensures that when users switch primary devices or if the original device is lost, the pairing data is already available for retrieval, eliminating the need for time-consuming re-pairing operations.
2Ease of operation
If pairing information is stored locally in the primary device, then the device can communicate with secondary devices, but the information may be erased, lost or become unusable
Solution Approach 1:
The cloud server serves as a backup intermediary that stores copies of pairing information. If local storage in the primary device fails due to erasure, loss, or device damage, users can retrieve the pairing information from the cloud server, preventing information loss and maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements beforehand cushioning by storing pairing information in the cloud server before any potential loss occurs. This protective measure ensures that even if the primary device's local storage fails, the pairing information remains preserved and accessible, cushioning against information loss.
3Adaptability or versatility
If pairing information is stored in the secondary device, then the device has unique identification, but the primary device cannot easily transfer connections to different secondary devices
Solution Approach 1:
The cloud server provides a universal platform that stores pairing information for multiple secondary devices. This enables the primary device to easily transfer connections between different secondary devices by retrieving their pairing information from the cloud, enhancing adaptability without significantly increasing system complexity.
