Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face user inconvenience when establishing short range wireless communication connections, as users must manually confirm device identification and perform multiple operations for data transmission and reception.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device method and apparatus that uses infrared communication to receive data on supported short range wireless communication options, prioritizes connections based on test data, signal intensity, and pre-stored transmission speeds, and automatically establishes and manages short range wireless communication connections without additional user control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual confirmation and selection operations are required for establishing short range wireless communication, then connection reliability is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device automatically performs connection establishment operations including selecting communication methods, prioritizing connections, and managing data transmission without requiring user confirmation or selection operations, making the system serve itself
Solution Approach 2:
The device pre-establishes priorities for different short range wireless communication methods and automatically selects the appropriate connection type before actual data transmission begins, performing necessary actions in advance
2Reliability
If multiple operations are required for data transmission and reception, then data security is improved, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device automatically manages the entire data transmission and reception process including selecting communication channels, establishing connections, and transferring data without requiring user to perform multiple operations
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple separate operations for connection establishment and data transmission are merged into a single automated process where the device handles all steps sequentially without user intervention
3Ease of operation
If automatic connection establishment is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but connection reliability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The device transmits test data through selected communication channels and receives feedback on transmission quality, using this information to determine whether to establish or reject connections automatically
Solution Approach 2:
Test data is transmitted before final connection establishment to verify communication quality, performing preliminary checks to ensure reliable automatic connection
