Solution Overview

Problem

Existing connection systems for electronic devices are inefficient due to the time-consuming process of searching for connectable devices within a communication range, causing inconvenience to users.

Innovation Solution

A system and method where a first connection device broadcasts its device name and address, and a second connection device receives this information to perform a scanning procedure and establish a connection quickly, using compatible transmission and receiving components to enhance connection efficiency and security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a connection device searches for connectable devices within communication range, then connection can be established, but it takes time causing inconvenience to the user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection establishmentVSAvoidsearch time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the first connection device transmit identification information to the receiver in advance, before the second connection device needs to search for it. This allows the second device to acquire the identification information quickly without performing a lengthy search procedure, thereby reducing connection time while ensuring reliable connection establishment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If identification information is transmitted from first connection device to receiver, then connection efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission components
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing the receiver to perform multiple functions: it receives identification information from the first connection device, stores it, and provides it to the second connection device. This multi-functional approach avoids adding separate dedicated components for each function, thereby improving connection efficiency without significantly increasing overall device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
