Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for controlling electronic devices are inefficient due to complex operation modes and scheduling functions, which are not effectively utilized through remote control, as they do not consider the device's state or external information.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that involves a managing device, electronic device, server, and terminal, where a search word is used to acquire operation information based on the device's state and external factors, optimizing the device's operation by transmitting and receiving control commands through a network, allowing for efficient use of electronic devices based on their current state and environmental conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronic devices provide multiple operation modes and scheduling functions, then device functionality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a managing device as an intermediary between the user and the electronic device. The managing device receives user input, determines appropriate operation modes based on device state and external information, and transmits control commands to the electronic device. This mediator handles the complexity of mode selection, allowing the electronic device to maintain multiple functions while simplifying the user interaction interface.
2Ease of operation
If remote control is used to operate electronic devices, then user convenience is improved, but control efficiency deteriorates due to inability to consider device state and external information
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the managing device continuously monitors the electronic device's operational state and external environmental information. Based on this feedback, the managing device automatically adjusts control commands to optimize device operation. For example, it considers current energy costs, weather conditions, and device status to determine the most efficient operation mode, thereby maintaining user convenience while improving control efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The managing device enables the electronic device to operate more autonomously by automatically selecting appropriate operation modes based on monitored device state and external information. The system self-adjusts without requiring users to manually configure complex settings, allowing the device to serve itself in optimizing its operation while responding to user needs.
3Ease of operation
If conventional remote control methods are used, then simplicity of operation is maintained, but energy efficiency deteriorates due to lack of consideration for external information
Solution Approach 1:
The managing device incorporates feedback loops that monitor external information such as energy costs, weather conditions, and time of day. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts device operation to optimize energy efficiency. For instance, it may schedule operations during periods of lower energy costs or adjust operational parameters based on environmental conditions, all while maintaining simple user interaction through the terminal device.
