Solution Overview

Problem

Users find the pairing process between display apparatuses and audio output devices, such as those using Bluetooth, to be complicated, leading to improper pairing and user dissatisfaction, as they may not be familiar with the necessary menu manipulations.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and audio output device system that operates in a discoverable mode, with a controller managing wireless communication, including an inquiry packet for pairing, and a user interface for selection, allowing automatic pairing without manual menu navigation, and optionally omitting security procedures based on product information matching.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a manual pairing process with menu navigation and security procedures is used, then wireless communication connection is established, but the operation becomes complicated and difficult for users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepairing connectionVSAvoidpairing process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic pairing by detecting the presence of the audio output device and autonomously completing the connection process without requiring user navigation through menus or input of security codes, allowing the system to serve itself in establishing the wireless connection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The display apparatus is set to operate in a discoverable mode in advance, and the audio output device automatically transmits inquiry packets upon power-on, preparing the pairing process before user interaction is needed and enabling seamless connection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If automatic pairing is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but security procedures may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepairing processVSAvoidsecurity procedure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs security verification by analyzing product information exchanged during the pairing process, eliminating the need for manual security code input while maintaining authentication reliability through automated device identification and verification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
