Indoor Map Authority Setting Using Anchor-Based Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack the ability to set user authority based on the position of a user, the position of an electronic device, and the situation, and there is a need for intuitive identification of the position and use authority of electronic devices.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that includes a communication circuit, processor, and memory, which receives information from anchors in a designated space to establish a connection with external devices, identify and apply set use authority, and transmit this authority to the external devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If use authority is granted based on traditional methods (MDM or parent-child programs), then authority management is achieved, but the system cannot set authority based on user position, device position, and situation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an indoor map and anchor-based positioning system as an intermediary layer between the user and the authority management system. The electronic device determines its position relative to the indoor map and receives use authority information based on this position, allowing flexible authority setting without direct complex management intervention. This mediator enables situation-based authority granting while keeping the overall system architecture manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements location-specific use authority by dividing the indoor space into different regions on the indoor map, each with its own authority settings. Different parts of the indoor space have different access permissions, allowing the system to grant authority locally based on where the user is positioned rather than applying uniform authority rules throughout the entire system.
2Loss of information
If traditional authority management systems are used, then basic authority control is provided, but intuitive identification of device position and use authority is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to authority management by overlaying the indoor map with position information and use authority data. Instead of presenting authority information in a flat, abstract manner, the system displays it on a two-dimensional map representation, allowing users to intuitively understand their position and the authority applicable to that specific location through visual spatial context.
3Adaptability or versatility
If position-based authority setting is implemented, then flexible authority management is achieved, but additional components (indoor map, anchors) are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the electronic device itself multi-functional by integrating both the positioning client (that uses the indoor map and anchors to determine position) and the authority management client (that receives and applies use authority information) within a single device. This eliminates the need for separate dedicated positioning infrastructure and authority management systems, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining position-based authority control capabilities.

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module, a processor, and a memory storing instructions, the electronic device receives information indicating that a first external electronic device entered a designated space, from at least one anchor in the designated space, in response to receiving the information, establishes a communication connection with the first external electronic device using the communication module, after establishing the communication connection with the first external electronic device, receives a request of use authority of a first device among devices positioned in the designated space from the first external electronic device, identifies use authority set for the first external electronic device, based on information on the first device and information on the first external electronic device, and transmits information to the first external electronic device and the first device so the set use authority is applied to the first external electronic device.
