Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic sign products, such as EPD table cards, face mutual interference issues in multi-conference scenarios due to automatic connection mechanisms, leading to inaccurate refreshes and inefficiencies in displaying attendee information.

Innovation Solution

Establish binding relationships between conference rooms, Bluetooth gateways, and electronic signs to ensure each sign is connected to a unique gateway, allowing controlled transmission of attendee information, and incorporate manual refresh triggers to enhance accuracy and timeliness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If automatic connection mechanism is used for EPD table card and Bluetooth gateway, then connection establishment is simplified and automated, but mutual interference occurs in multi-conference scenarios leading to inaccurate refresh

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection establishmentVSAvoidrefresh accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a binding relationship mechanism as an intermediary between the Bluetooth gateway and EPD table card. This binding relationship acts as a mediator that establishes a controlled connection pathway, preventing direct mutual interference while maintaining automated connection benefits. The binding relationship ensures that each EPD table card is associated with a specific Bluetooth gateway, enabling accurate information transmission without cross-contamination in multi-conference scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Extent of automation

If automatic connection mechanism is used, then connection process is automated without manual intervention, but interference between multiple conferences causes information transmission errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection automationVSAvoidinformation transmission accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the connection management by establishing distinct binding relationships for each conference. Each EPD table card is bound to a specific Bluetooth gateway through a unique binding relationship, creating separate information transmission channels. This segmentation prevents information mixing between different conferences while maintaining automated connection establishment, ensuring that attendee information is transmitted accurately to the correct display device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple Bluetooth gateways serve multiple conferences, then system coverage and connectivity are improved, but interference between conferences increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-conference supportVSAvoidmutual interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by establishing specific binding relationships between Bluetooth gateways and EPD table cards for each conference. Instead of uniform treatment of all connections, the system creates localized binding relationships that are specific to each conference context. This allows multiple Bluetooth gateways to serve multiple conferences simultaneously while maintaining distinct, non-interfering communication channels through conference-specific binding relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method for refreshing electronic sign and an electronic device, where the method includes acquiring conference information and attendee information of a scheduled conference; where the conference information includes a Bluetooth gateway corresponding to the conference information; transmitting the attendee information to an electronic sign bound with the Bluetooth gateway by the Bluetooth gateway corresponding to the conference information; and, when there are multiple Bluetooth gateways, the electronic sign is bound with only one Bluetooth gateway; and displaying the attendee information by refreshing the electronic sign.
