Dynamic Function Permission Control for Mobile Terminal Intercom Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for controlling target operation devices via mobile terminals lack dynamic range setting, leading to unrealistic and inefficient control, especially in households with children, where important calls may be missed due to all devices receiving calls simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A target operation device communicating system that dynamically sets function permission ranges based on user location and attributes, using a function permission information control unit to transmit and determine permission levels, ensuring that only relevant devices respond to operations, prioritizing adult-owned devices for critical communications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all mobile terminals in the house are set to receive operations simultaneously, then the system achieves broad coverage and accessibility, but it causes unrealistic control and inefficiency where irrelevant devices respond to operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the mobile terminals into different permission groups based on user attributes and location. Instead of treating all terminals equally, the system divides them into authorized and unauthorized groups, allowing only relevant terminals to respond to operations. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining broad coverage through multiple authorized terminals while improving efficiency by excluding irrelevant ones.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different permission levels to different mobile terminals based on their specific characteristics (user attributes, location). Each terminal receives customized permission settings rather than uniform treatment. This allows the system to optimize responsiveness for authorized terminals while preventing unnecessary responses from unauthorized ones, thereby improving overall control efficiency.
2Reliability
If all mobile terminals receive incoming calls simultaneously, then the system ensures no call is missed, but it causes children to receive important calls intended for adults
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments call routing by user attributes, separating adults and children into different permission groups. Adults are assigned higher permission levels for receiving important calls, while children's terminals are restricted from receiving certain call types. This segmentation ensures reliable call delivery to appropriate users without overwhelming them with irrelevant calls.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the permission parameter dynamically based on user attributes (adult/child status) and call characteristics. By adjusting the permission level parameter, the system determines which terminals should receive specific calls. This parameter-based control ensures that important calls reach adults while preventing children from receiving calls they cannot appropriately handle.
3Device complexity
If fixed permission ranges are set for mobile terminals, then the system achieves simple configuration, but it cannot dynamically adapt to different users and locations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic permission assignment based on user attributes and location information. Instead of fixed permission ranges, the system continuously evaluates terminal characteristics and adjusts permission levels accordingly. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to different users and locations automatically, resolving the contradiction between configuration simplicity and adaptability by making permissions flexible rather than static.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables terminals to self-determine their permission levels based on their inherent attributes (user profile, location data). Each terminal autonomously evaluates its characteristics and receives appropriate permission settings without manual configuration. This self-service mechanism simplifies the overall system configuration while achieving high adaptability to different users and locations.

AI summary
A permissible range of a mobile terminal that operates in cooperation with a target operation device in accordance with a user's whereabouts in a house is dynamically switched. An intercom has a function permission number control unit that generates calling information to require a cooperated operation to be carried out with the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a function permission number storing unit and a CPU. The function permission number storing unit stores function permission numbers respectively set to mobile terminals. When a function permission number transmitted from the intercom is received, the CPU determines whether the function permission number coincides with a function permission number of a function permission information storing unit or not, and sets an application for carrying out the cooperated operation with the intercom to active in a case where they coincide with each other.
