Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile radio devices require active user intervention to connect to wireless networks and display content, leading to complex and cumbersome operations, especially when entering personal data or passwords.

Innovation Solution

A method where the mobile radio device automatically connects to a wireless network based on signal strength, position, or connection duration, allowing the computer program to open and display content without user activation, using the MAC address for initial authorization and subsequent automatic reconnections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the user actively starts the browser and enters personal data manually, then the content can be displayed, but the operation becomes complex and cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting the user's presence via position system, pre-opening the browser application, and preparing the login interface before the user arrives. This eliminates the need for manual browser activation and reduces operational steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the position system to automatically identify the user and retrieve their stored personal data (login credentials). The browser is automatically launched and the login form is auto-filled without requiring user intervention, making the system serve itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Extent of automation

If the browser is automatically opened based on position, then user activation is eliminated, but additional systems (position system) are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation levelVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The position system serves multiple functions: it detects user presence to trigger automatic browser opening, determines user identity for authentication, and can potentially track user movement for other applications. This multi-functionality justifies the added system complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The position system is integrated with the existing browser application and personal data storage system. The browser application combines multiple functions (web browsing, automatic login, position-based triggering) into a single unified application, reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If personal data is stored in the mobile device, then automatic login is enabled, but security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogin speedVSAvoidsecurity risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Personal data is stored securely in advance in the device's memory or secure storage. When needed, the data is automatically retrieved and used for login without requiring real-time user input, enabling fast authentication while maintaining pre-established security measures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of transmitting sensitive personal data over the network during login, the system uses locally stored copies of authentication credentials. This eliminates the need to send passwords or personal information through potentially insecure communication channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
