Device Management System Using Connection History Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing device management systems for radio communication networks often present users with unnecessary device options, reducing the convenience of network connections by including devices that are not desired for connection.
Innovation Solution
A device management system that utilizes a proximity notification and a database of connection history to generate a candidate list of connection destination devices, prioritizing devices based on past connections and displaying only those with high connection probabilities to the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all devices in geographical range are included in candidate list, then completeness of device options is improved, but convenience of network connection deteriorates due to unnecessary device options
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes unnecessary devices from the candidate list by using connection history data to identify and exclude devices that are unlikely to be desired by the user, thereby improving convenience while maintaining completeness of relevant options
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary filtering of candidate devices before presenting the list to the user by analyzing connection history in advance, so that the candidate list already contains only relevant devices when the user needs to make a connection decision
2Ease of operation
If connection history analysis is performed, then convenience of network connection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the database serve multiple functions: it stores connection history data for filtering purposes and also provides the basis for ranking devices in the candidate list, thereby reducing the need for separate complex processing systems
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses its own stored connection history data to automatically filter and rank devices, making the system self-sufficient in improving convenience without requiring external complex analysis tools or services

AI summary
A device management system according to one embodiment includes: an acquisition unit configured to obtain a proximity notification that represents a situation in which a portable connection source device is in proximity to one geographical range; and a list generating unit configured to transmit a candidate list representing candidate connection destination devices to the connection source device in response to the proximity notification. The list generating unit is further configured to: refer to a database storing a connection history that represents past connections between the connection source device and one or more past connection destination devices; select at least one of one or more devices corresponding to the geographical range as the candidate connection destination devices based on the connection history; and display the candidate list on the connection source device by transmitting the candidate list representing at least one candidate connection destination device to the connection source device.
