Data Transmission Apparatus with Dual Mode Authentication and History-Based Destination Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data transmission systems lack a user-friendly and secure method for selecting transmission modes and specifying destination addresses, particularly in scenarios requiring authentication or fixed destinations, which complicates user operations and flexibility in data transmission.
Innovation Solution
A data transmission apparatus with an authentication mode and non-authentication mode, featuring an authenticating unit, address acquiring unit, history information acquiring unit, and display, allowing users to authenticate, select modes, and easily specify destination addresses through user-specific history and fixed-destination settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user authentication is required in order to transmit data, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs user authentication in advance before data transmission begins. The authenticating unit verifies user credentials beforehand, and upon successful authentication, the system pre-configures the destination address associated with the authenticated user. This preliminary authentication action ensures security while simplifying subsequent operations since users don't need to manually enter credentials during each transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically retrieves and displays the destination address from history information based on the authenticated user's profile, without requiring manual intervention. The address acquiring unit automatically obtains the associated destination, and the display unit presents it to the user, enabling the system to serve itself in configuring transmission parameters after initial authentication.
2Adaptability or versatility
If destination address is manually specified, then adaptability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures destination addresses by storing them in history information associated with authenticated users. Before transmission is needed, the destination address is already retrieved and stored, so users simply need to select from pre-configured options rather than manually specifying addresses each time, balancing adaptability with ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The display unit acts as an intermediary between the address acquiring unit and the user. It presents the destination address in a user-friendly format, allowing users to easily select or confirm the address without directly interacting with the complex address specification interface, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining adaptability.
3Ease of operation
If history information is stored and displayed, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the necessary destination address information from the complete history information database and presents it to the user through the display unit. Rather than managing or displaying all historical data, the system selectively extracts and displays only the relevant destination address associated with the authenticated user, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a simplified copy or representation of the destination address from the comprehensive history information. Instead of dealing with the full complexity of historical transmission records, the display unit presents a streamlined version showing only the essential destination address, making the system easier to operate without requiring changes to the underlying data storage structure.
Data Source
AI summary
A data transmission apparatus having an authentication mode in which user authentication is required in order to transmit data and a non-authentication mode in which data may be transmitted without requiring user authentication includes an authenticating unit that authenticates a user, an address acquiring unit that acquires a destination that is a transmission destination of data and that is associated with the user who is authenticated, a history information acquiring unit that acquires history information that is a group of destinations that have been used previously, and a display that displays the destination, which is associated with the user who is authenticated, as a destination of data in the case where the authenticating unit performs user authentication successfully in the authentication mode and that displays a destination that is included in the history information as a candidate for a destination of data in the non-authentication mode.
