Dynamic Registration Framework for Connected Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing embedded systems in devices lack networking capabilities, role-based access control, remote interface capabilities, and remote control capabilities, requiring significant resource consumption for manufacturers to design and implement these features, and often rely on a single hardcoded registration technique that does not adapt to user or environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
A flexible registration framework that allows devices to dynamically select and implement various registration techniques based on user, device, and environmental factors, enabling seamless integration with multiple registration methods and updates without altering device-side software, facilitating secure and convenient user account binding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a single hardcoded registration technique is used in embedded systems, then device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but adaptability to different user and environmental conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic registration framework where the embedded system can select from multiple registration techniques (e.g., PIN code, QR code, NFC) based on runtime conditions. The system dynamically adapts its registration behavior by evaluating environmental factors, device capabilities, and user preferences to choose the most appropriate registration method, transforming a static hardcoded approach into a flexible dynamic selection mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of registration technique selection from a fixed hardcoded value to a variable that can be adjusted based on different conditions. The system evaluates multiple parameters including device type, network availability, user account status, and environmental context to determine which registration technique to employ, allowing the registration approach to vary according to specific situational parameters.
2Reliability
If multiple registration techniques are supported with dynamic selection, then adaptability and security are improved, but device complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal registration framework where a single embedded system architecture supports multiple registration techniques (PIN code, QR code, NFC, biometric authentication). Rather than requiring separate hardware or software implementations for each technique, the system provides multi-functional registration capabilities through a unified framework that can adaptively select among different authentication methods based on available resources and security requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a registration service as an intermediary component that manages the complexity of multiple registration techniques. This intermediary service handles the logic for selecting appropriate registration methods, coordinating between different authentication mechanisms, and managing user accounts. By placing this coordination layer externally or as a separate module, the core embedded system avoids direct complexity while still benefiting from multiple registration options.
3Ease of manufacture
If registration techniques are hardcoded during manufacturing, then ease of manufacture is improved, but ease of operation and user convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the registration system to dynamically adapt its operation based on user needs and environmental context. Instead of forcing users through a single predetermined registration method, the system evaluates conditions such as device proximity, network availability, and user preferences to select the most convenient registration technique, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through a unified software framework.
Data Source
AI summary
A processing device executing a registration service receives information identifying a first device, a second device and an application running on the first device. The processing device determines a registration technique that is supported by both the application and the second device and sends a message indicating the registration technique to at least one of the first device or the second device, wherein the application is to perform an operation associated with the first registration technique to bind the second device to the user account.
