Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Smart devices connected via WIFI often lack input devices and have limited network connection capabilities, leading to inefficiencies and inaccuracies in detecting and connecting to available hotspots due to differences in wireless capacities between terminal and smart devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that generate a target hotspot list by combining hotspot lists from both terminal and smart devices, using detection parameters to determine compatible hotspots and ensure accurate network connection, involving determining hotspot types, candidate hotspots, and preset conditions for signal quality, safety, and data transmission rates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a terminal device generates a hotspot list based on its detection result for user selection, then the user can select from available hotspots, but the hotspot list may include hotspots that the smart device is not capable of being connected with due to different wireless capacities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing step where the terminal device's hotspot detection results are filtered and adapted based on the smart device's wireless capabilities before presentation to the user. This intermediary process ensures compatibility while maintaining ease of selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary filtering of hotspots based on the smart device's wireless capabilities before the user makes a selection. This preliminary action removes incompatible hotspots from the list, ensuring that only connectable hotspots are presented to the user.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal device presents all detected hotspots to the user, then the user has more options to choose from, but the efficiency of network connection is reduced due to incompatible hotspots
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of hotspots based on their compatibility with the smart device's wireless capabilities. Compatible hotspots are included in the presented list with full visibility, while incompatible ones are filtered out, creating a locally optimized list for each device type.
3Reliability
If the smart device performs its own hotspot detection, then it can identify compatible hotspots, but the detection accuracy is limited due to the smart device's detection capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the terminal device's comprehensive hotspot detection results with the smart device's capability information to create an optimized hotspot list. This combination leverages the terminal's detection accuracy while filtering for smart device compatibility.

AI summary
Systems and methods for determining a target hotspot list are provided. The system may obtain a first hotspot list generated by a first device. The first hotspot list may include one or more first hotspots detected by the first device. The system may obtain a second hotspot list generated by a second device. The second hotspot list may include one or more second hotspots detected by the second device. The system may generate the target hotspot list related to the second device based on the first hotspot list and the second hotspot list. In some embodiments, the system may further determine a target hotspot in the target hotspot list and send identification information associated with the target hotspot to the second device, such that the second device can be connected with the target hotspot.
