Intelligent Socket Signal Transcoding for Control Terminal Load Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The burden on control terminals is increased when controlling multiple household electronic devices, as existing solutions require additional function modules and higher costs, particularly with the use of universal remote controllers and mobile phones.
Innovation Solution
An intelligent socket system with a first and second control module that transcodes and modulates data signals to reduce the burden on control terminals, allowing for centralized control of household devices without the need for extensive additional functionality in the control terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a universal remote controller is used to control multiple electronic products, then control convenience is improved, but the cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a gateway device as an intermediary between the mobile phone and multiple electronic products. The gateway receives control signals from the mobile phone, translates them into appropriate protocols, and forwards them to the target devices. This mediator approach allows the mobile phone to maintain simplicity while the gateway handles the complexity of multiple device protocols and translations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional function modules such as decoding are arranged in the mobile phone to control multiple electronic products, then control capability is improved, but the burden of the mobile phone increases and service life is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the decoding and protocol translation functions from the mobile phone and relocates them to a dedicated gateway device. The mobile phone only needs to send simple control commands, while the gateway handles the complex tasks of signal translation, protocol conversion, and device identification. This extraction reduces the burden on the mobile phone while maintaining full control capability.
3Productivity
If multiple electronic products are controlled in a centralized manner, then control efficiency is improved, but the burden on the control terminal increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control system into two distinct parts: a simple control terminal (mobile phone) for user interaction and a complex gateway device for signal processing and device management. The gateway maintains a database of connected devices and their protocols, enabling efficient centralized control without burdening the mobile phone with complex processing tasks.
Data Source
AI summary
The invention relates to network communication safety, and provides an intelligent socket and an intelligent system. The intelligent socket includes a first control module, and a second control module connected with the first control module. The first control module is configured to receive a data signal, transcode the received data signal, and transmit the transcoded data signal. The second control module is configured to receive a data signal, modulate the data signal, and transmit the modulated data signal. The intelligent socket is configured to achieve communication between a control terminal and a controlled terminal and achieve data transmission, demodulation, transcoding and other functions, thereby reducing the burden on the control terminal, improving the intelligence level of the intelligent socket to a certain extent, and bringing more convenience to users.
