Cross-Terminal Command Code Routing for Readerless Connected Objects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing command codes are typically read and executed by the same terminal, which may not be the most suitable for implementing the command, leading to inefficiencies and limitations, especially when the terminal lacks a reading device or has limited computing resources, and connected objects cannot be controlled effectively.
Innovation Solution
A command code management method that allows command codes to be transmitted between terminals, enabling the most appropriate terminal to read, execute, or control the command, even if it lacks a reading device, by using a command code management device to decode and distribute command signals.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the same terminal reads and executes command codes, then the terminal can immediately implement commands, but the terminal may not be the most suitable for implementing the command
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the command code processing into two distinct functions: reading (performed by mobile terminal with camera) and execution (performed by fixed terminal with appropriate resources). This separation allows each terminal to specialize in its strengths while working together to complete the command workflow.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces an intermediary mechanism (the command code transmission system between terminals) that enables the mobile terminal to pass the command code to the fixed terminal. This intermediary allows coordination between terminals with different capabilities without requiring either terminal to have all functions.
2Ease of operation
If mobile terminals read command codes, then command codes can be captured easily, but fixed terminals cannot read command codes due to lack of reading devices
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal captures the command code (creating a digital copy) and transmits this copy to the fixed terminal. The fixed terminal then uses this copied command code for execution, eliminating the need for the fixed terminal to have native command code reading capabilities while still enabling it to process commands.
3Device complexity
If terminals without reading devices are used, then device complexity is reduced, but these terminals cannot be controlled by command codes
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal acts as an intermediary that bridges the gap between command codes and terminals without reading devices. It captures the command code and transmits it to the target terminal, enabling control of simple terminals that would otherwise be incompatible with command code systems.
4Productivity
If command codes are transmitted to appropriate terminals, then resource utilization is optimized, but additional transmission infrastructure is required
Solution Approach 1:
The command code serves as a universal interface that can be captured by mobile terminals and executed by fixed terminals. This multi-functional approach allows the same command code structure to work across different terminal types, maximizing resource utilization without requiring completely different systems for different terminals.
Data Source
AI summary
A command code management method, implemented by a command code management device. The method includes transmitting a command signal to a second terminal that has been associated with a first terminal from which a command code, on which the command signal is based, is received, the command code having been received by the first terminal prior to the transmission and after the association of the first terminal and second terminal. The command codes are thus able to be used more widely, that is to say in particular by terminals not equipped with a reading device such as connected objects, or terminals not equipped with a reproduction device.
