Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication technologies, particularly in the context of Wi-Fi connection between electronic devices and mobile terminals, lack intuitive and user-friendly interfaces for authentication and network connection, leading to a suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
A system that enables wireless communication connection between a mobile terminal and an electronic device by displaying authentication manners, allowing the electronic device to authenticate the mobile terminal and connect to the same wireless network, utilizing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Wi-Fi communication, with features like EPG screens, broadcast reservation, and mirrored images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If Wi-Fi connection information is transmitted directly between electronic devices, then connection speed is improved, but device complexity increases due to direct protocol implementation requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mobile terminal as an intermediary device that facilitates Wi-Fi connection between electronic devices. The mobile terminal receives connection information from one electronic device and transmits it to another, eliminating the need for direct complex protocol implementation between all device pairs. This mediator approach maintains fast connection speed while reducing individual device complexity.
2Ease of operation
If authentication interface is displayed on electronic device screen, then user experience is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional display and interface components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the mobile terminal's display as an intermediary interface for authentication. Instead of requiring the electronic device to have its own display and user interface components, the mobile terminal serves as the interface medium, allowing users to interact with the electronic device through their familiar smartphone screen.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal performs multiple functions: it acts as a display device for authentication interfaces, a communication relay for Wi-Fi connection information, and a user interaction platform. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated components in the electronic device, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining good user experience.
3Use of energy by moving object
If Bluetooth Low Energy communication is used for initial connection, then energy consumption is reduced, but connection speed decreases compared to direct Wi-Fi connection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs Bluetooth Low Energy for preliminary actions such as device discovery, initial pairing, and authentication. Once these preliminary steps are completed through low-energy BLE communication, the system establishes a full Wi-Fi connection for high-speed data transfer. This staged approach allows energy-efficient initial connection while achieving fast communication speed for actual data transfer.

AI summary
A wireless communication connection system enables an electronic device to perform Wi-Fi connection using a mobile terminal and to facilitate liking to the mobile terminal. The wireless communication connection system includes a mobile terminal connected to a wireless communication network, and an electronic device to perform, when receiving wireless communication connection information from the mobile terminal, the wireless communication connection based on the received wireless communication connection information. The electronic device displays an authentication manner, receives the wireless communication connection information from the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is authenticated in the authentication manner, and is connected to a wireless communication network the same as the wireless communication network connected to the mobile terminal.
