Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies face challenges in enabling communication and information interaction between devices from different business systems, leading to information jams and limited user experience in cross-domain Internet of Things (IoT) device registration.

Innovation Solution

A method for cross-domain IoT device registration is proposed, where a first server obtains a user identification, receives a registration request from a first IoT device, and verifies the user identification to respond with registration success or failure. The method also includes determining a target device and access rights based on device identification and type, and sending verification requests to ensure accurate registration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If devices of different business systems register independently in their own domains, then device registration is simple and direct, but information interaction between devices is blocked and communication is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice registrationVSAvoidcross-domain communication
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a unified server as an intermediary that receives registration requests from IoT devices across different domains and manages device information centrally. This intermediary enables cross-domain device communication by breaking down domain barriers, allowing devices from different business systems to interact through the unified server without requiring complex inter-domain protocols or direct peer-to-peer connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a unified cross-domain registration system is implemented, then information interaction between devices is enabled, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-domain communicationVSAvoidregistration system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal registration interface on the unified server that can handle registration requests from various types of IoT devices across different domains using a standardized protocol. This multi-functional approach allows the same server to manage diverse devices without requiring domain-specific registration systems, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining cross-domain communication capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If device registration requires verification of device information, then registration security is improved, but registration time and processing overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregistration verificationVSAvoidregistration processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs device information verification as a preliminary step during the registration process, validating device identities and permissions before granting access. By completing verification upfront during registration rather than during subsequent operations, the system ensures security and reliability while minimizing time loss during actual device operations, as the verification overhead is incurred only once during initial registration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
