Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users manually select and attempt various connection methods between devices with different operating systems, then connection compatibility is improved, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection compatibilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects device information, selects appropriate connection methods, and establishes connections without user intervention. The control device autonomously performs multiple connection attempts using different protocols (WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC) based on device compatibility, eliminating the need for users to manually configure connection parameters or select connection types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes connection parameters such as communication protocols, transmission modes, and authentication methods based on the detected device types and operating systems. By adapting parameters like using different port numbers, protocol versions, or encryption levels, the system achieves broad compatibility across diverse device combinations while maintaining simple user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If multiple preset connection methods are automatically attempted, then connection success rate is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection success rateVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system is divided into independent modules, each handling a specific connection method (WiFi module, Bluetooth module, NFC module). Each module can be independently activated or deactivated based on device compatibility检测结果. This modular architecture allows the system to attempt multiple connection methods without increasing overall complexity, as each module operates autonomously with its own configuration and error handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures multiple connection methods and their corresponding parameters before actual connection is needed. Device information is pre-detected and stored, and appropriate connection protocols are pre-selected based on compatibility databases. When connection is initiated, the system simply executes the pre-planned connection sequence, reducing runtime complexity while maintaining high success rates through prepared fallback options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method and a system for network interconnection between devices may include: establishing a connection between a current device and a remote device in at least one preset connection manner; parsing operation data obtained by collection to obtain event information triggered in the current device, where the operation data is generated by an operation triggered in the current device; and synchronizing the event information to the remote device via the established connection, so as to synchronize the operation triggered in the current device to the remote device. By utilizing the present method and system, operations of interconnection between devices are simplified.
