Solution Overview

Problem

The existing registration and unregistration methods for DECT sub-machines in home information machines suffer from low security and reliability, allowing illegal users to access and embezzle resources by obtaining verification information, and are inconvenient for management.

Innovation Solution

A registration method where a Fixed Part (FP) module of the home information machine receives verification information from a Mobile Internet Device (MID) module, enters a registration state, verifies the information, and only allows successful registrations after confirming identity, while an unregistration method involves the FP module unregistering devices upon request and updating registration information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the existing registration process stores verification information in the DECT fixed phone, then the registration process is simple, but security and reliability are low allowing illegal access

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregistration process simplicityVSAvoidsecurity and reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a new intermediary component called the MID (Mobile Internet Device) that acts as a mediator between the DECT sub-machine and the DECT fixed phone. The MID stores verification information and controls the registration process, preventing direct access between sub-machines and the fixed phone. This intermediary structure maintains registration simplicity while significantly improving security by preventing illegal users from directly obtaining verification information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If automatic unregistration is implemented by clearing registration information on the DECT sub-machine, then the unregistration process is simple, but the home information machine cannot effectively manage DECT devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunregistration process simplicityVSAvoiddevice management capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the MID module actively monitors and manages registration information. When a DECT sub-machine needs to be unregistered, the MID receives unregistration information and sends feedback signals to both the DECT fixed phone and the sub-machine itself. This feedback loop ensures that the home information machine maintains effective control and management of all DECT devices, preventing unauthorized access while keeping the process user-friendly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

If verification information is stored in the DECT fixed phone for registration, then the system structure is simple, but illegal users can obtain verification information to access and embezzle resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structure complexityVSAvoidillegal access and resource embezzlement
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The MID serves as a secure intermediary that stores verification information separately from the DECT fixed phone. This intermediary structure maintains relative system simplicity while introducing a security layer that prevents illegal users from directly accessing verification information. The MID controls all verification processes, ensuring that even if verification information is compromised, the DECT fixed phone cannot be directly accessed by unauthorized devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Ease of operation

If the DECT sub-machine can modify registration password after successful registration, then usability is improved, but security is compromised as illegal users can modify passwords to access the system

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveusabilityVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The MID acts as a controlled intermediary that manages password modification operations. When a DECT sub-machine requests to modify its registration password, the MID verifies the request through authentication protocols before allowing the change. This intermediary control ensures that only authorized operations are permitted, maintaining usability for legitimate users while preventing security compromises from illegal attempts to modify passwords.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The disclosure discloses a registration method or an unregistration method for a home information machine and a home information machine thereof, to solve the problem of low security and reliability in the prior art when a Portable Part (PP) machine is registered on the home information machine. The registration method comprises: a Fixed Part (FP) module of the home information machine receives a registration command and first verification information sent by a Mobile Internet Device (MID) module of the home information machine, wherein the first verification information is used to verify verification information input by the PP machine to be registered; the FP module enters a registration state, and receives a registration request and second verification information sent by the PP machine to be registered; the FP module verifies the second verification information by the first verification information, determines whether the registration of the PP machine to be registered is successful according to the verification result, and exits the registration state when determining that the registration of the PP machine to be registered is successful. When the technical solution of the disclosure is used, security and reliability during the registration process of the PP machine can be improved.
