Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless audio/video devices face difficulties in establishing connections between receiving and transmitting devices, often requiring manual identification of device names and tags, which can be damaged or lost, making the pairing and interconnection process cumbersome and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A method that involves a receiving device searching for available transmitting devices, generating dynamic operating instructions based on their hardware configurations, and prompting actions to establish a connection automatically, allowing for intelligent and convenient pairing and interconnection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual identification of device names and tags is used for connection establishment, then connection can be made between devices, but the pairing process becomes cumbersome and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection establishment processVSAvoidpairing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The receiving device automatically generates dynamic operating instructions and sends them to the transmitting device without requiring manual tag reading or device name lookup. The system serves itself by automatically completing the connection establishment process through automated instruction generation and execution, eliminating the need for manual intervention in identifying and pairing devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manually reading tags and selecting device names with an automated electronic system. The receiving device generates and transmits dynamic operating instructions electronically, which the transmitting device automatically executes, substituting the manual mechanical interaction with an automated electronic control system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If device tags are used for identification, then device identity can be recognized, but tags may be damaged or lost making operation difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice identification reliabilityVSAvoiddevice operation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of relying on physical tags that can be damaged or lost, the system creates a digital copy of device identification information in the form of dynamic operating instructions. These instructions are generated electronically and transmitted through the communication system, providing a reliable digital alternative to physical tags that cannot be damaged or lost in the same way.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic operating instructions as an intermediary between device identification and connection establishment. Rather than directly reading physical tags, the system uses these instructions as a mediator to transfer device identification information reliably, eliminating the dependency on physical tags that can be damaged or lost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If default device names are displayed for connection selection, then available devices can be shown, but users must check tags one-by-one to figure out device names

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice information visibilityVSAvoidpairing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential connection information from the complex process of tag reading and device name matching. By generating dynamic operating instructions that contain all necessary connection parameters, the system removes the need for users to manually check tags and match device names, extracting only the critical information needed for connection establishment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

The present invention discloses a method for pairing and interconnecting electronic devices, which cooperates with at least two electronic devices that are grouped as a transmitting end and a receiving end respectively, and the transmitting end operates in a first mode. The method for pairing and interconnecting electronic devices comprises at least Step 1 to Step 4. Step 1 refers to searching any available transmitting end in a wireless manner by the receiving end, and displaying a connection name of the transmitting end on the receiving end. Step 2 refers to prompting a dynamic operating instruction by the receiving end. Step 3 refers to executing operation by the transmitting end based on the dynamic operating instruction and thereby issuing an action instruction. Step 4 refers to receiving the action instruction by the receiving end, and establishing a connection with the transmitting end which issues the action instruction.
