Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual setup process is used for connecting devices, then communication connection can be established, but connection time and data processing time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-storing pairing information in the electronic tag before actual connection is needed. When a user touches the mobile device to the electronic tag, the pre-stored pairing information is automatically read and used to establish communication, eliminating the need for manual setup at the moment of connection. This resolves the contradiction by preparing connection data in advance, thus maintaining reliable communication while dramatically reducing connection time.
2Reliability
If manual input of device information is required, then device connection can be established, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the electronic tag to automatically provide its pairing information to the mobile device through NFC/RFID communication when touched together. The system performs the information exchange and connection setup autonomously without requiring the user to manually input device details. This resolves the contradiction by making the connection process self-executing, thus maintaining reliable device connection while greatly simplifying user operation.
3Reliability
If pairing information is stored in mobile device memory, then connection can be established, but memory usage increases unnecessarily
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by removing the pairing information storage function from the mobile device and relocating it to a dedicated electronic tag. The mobile device no longer needs to store pairing information in its memory; instead, it only needs to read the information from the electronic tag when connection is needed. This resolves the contradiction by extracting the storage burden from the mobile device, thus maintaining reliable connection processes while minimizing unnecessary memory usage.

AI summary
A method for controlling a system including an electronic tag, a mobile device, and a display device, and a mobile device and a display device of the same are disclosed herein. The control method includes the steps of, when the mobile device is positioned within a predetermined range from the electronic tag, transmitting data stored in the electronic tag to the mobile device from the electronic tag, having the mobile device determine whether or not pairing information is included in the stored data, when pairing information is included in the stored data, establishing wireless communication connection between the display device being identified by the pairing information and the mobile device, having the mobile device display at least two or more options for selecting a device correspond to a content that is to be outputted, when a first option is selected, transmitting the content that is currently being outputted through the mobile device to the display device, and, when a second option is selected, transmitting the content that is currently being outputted through the display device to the mobile device.
