IoT Household Device Network Provisioning Without Manual Authorization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network distribution methods for household devices require manual user intervention, making the process complex and prone to errors due to the need for manual authorization and potential misdistribution of network.
Innovation Solution
A network distribution method and apparatus that utilizes a terminal to obtain device information of a first device, which is then sent to a server to forward it to a second network-distributed device, allowing the second device to establish a communication connection and send network distribution information to the first device, eliminating the need for manual user intervention and ensuring accurate network distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual user authorization is required for network distribution, then network distribution can be controlled and authorized, but the operation process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling devices to automatically perform network distribution without manual user intervention. The system uses device information (such as device IDs or QR codes) to automatically identify target devices and establish network connections, eliminating the need for users to manually authorize each connection while maintaining security through automated verification mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring devices with network distribution information and capabilities before actual network connection is needed. Devices are pre-registered in the system with their identification information, so when a new device needs network distribution, the process is already streamlined and ready to execute automatically without requiring user authorization at the moment of connection.
2Reliability
If manual user intervention is required for network distribution, then authorization control is possible, but the distribution process takes more time and reduces efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables devices to autonomously complete network distribution by automatically exchanging connection information and establishing connections. The automated process uses pre-configured device information to identify targets and execute distribution, eliminating manual authorization steps while maintaining security through automated verification, thereby significantly improving distribution efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual authorization process with an automated electronic system. Instead of users manually authorizing connections, the system uses electronic device information exchange, automatic device identification, and automated connection establishment, substituting human intervention with machine-to-machine communication and control.
3Ease of operation
If manual network distribution is performed, then user control over which devices receive network is possible, but errors in distribution can occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual user control with automated electronic device identification and matching systems. The system uses device information (such as device IDs, QR codes, or other unique identifiers) to automatically determine which devices should receive network distribution, eliminating human errors while maintaining appropriate control through automated verification and authorization protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where devices automatically verify and confirm their identity and authorization status during the network distribution process. The system receives feedback from target devices to confirm successful connection and can detect or correct errors in the distribution process, ensuring high accuracy in network allocation.
4Productivity
If automated network distribution is implemented, then the process becomes simpler and faster, but may reduce user control and authorization oversight
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automated network distribution through self-service mechanisms where devices automatically exchange connection information and establish connections based on pre-configured device information. This maintains high speed and simplicity while preserving user control through automated authorization verification and system-managed security protocols that operate transparently without requiring direct user intervention.

AI summary
Provided in the present application are a network distribution method and apparatus, a readable storage medium, and a household device, belonging to the technical field of the Internet of Things. The network distribution method executed by a terminal comprises: when a first device is in an undistributed state, acquiring device information of the first device; and sending the device information to a server, the server sending the device information to a second device, and the second device sending first network distribution information to the first device, so as to perform network distribution on the first device, wherein the first network distribution information is network distribution information of the second device.
