Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If a simple connection request signal and response signal are used to connect electronic devices, then the connection process is simple and fast, but security becomes weak
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the first electronic device generate and transmit identification information before the actual connection is established. The second electronic device uses this pre-transmitted identification information to verify authenticity, ensuring security is built into the connection process rather than added as an afterthought. This allows the connection to remain fast while incorporating security measures.
2Ease of operation
If simple connection signals are used without identification information, then the connection process is straightforward, but the user has difficulty identifying which electronic device a connection has been made with
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by having the first electronic device transmit identification information back to the second electronic device during the connection process. This feedback mechanism ensures that the second device receives and stores identification information about the first device, allowing users to easily identify which device they are connected to without complicating the connection process.
3Device complexity
If no configuration information is transmitted during connection, then the connection process remains simple, but the user cannot obtain configuration information regarding the driving environment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the connection process with the configuration information transmission by incorporating the transmission of driving environment configuration information into the existing connection signal exchange. This allows configuration information to be obtained during the normal connection process without adding separate complex steps, as the information transmission is combined with the identification and connection verification processes.

AI summary
A method of performing a connection between electronic devices and an electronic device thereof. The method may include: receiving a first signal including first information of the media device through first communication mode; generating a second signal including identification information of the media device by using at least a part of the first information in response to the first signal; transmitting the second signal to the media device through the first communication mode; and performing a connection with the media device by using the first information.
