Mobile Device Remote AV Control via Networked Setup Values
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing AV devices require user intervention for remote control and setup changes, limiting convenience in home networking scenarios where different devices need to exchange content or be controlled remotely.
Innovation Solution
A mobile device with a display, user input receiving unit, storage, and communication capabilities that receives and displays UI information from AV devices, allowing users to input and store setup values, which are then transmitted to the AV devices for remote control and setup changes via a network, including features like initial setup, image quality, audio, channel control, and media file management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If AV devices are connected via home network for remote control and content exchange, then device connectivity and content sharing capability are improved, but user involvement and manual control complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic setup and control by having devices self-configure through network communication. The mobile device automatically transmits setup values to the AV device without requiring manual user intervention for each control operation, allowing the system to serve itself.
Solution Approach 2:
Setup values are predetermined and stored in the mobile device before actual use. The mobile device pre-configures control parameters and automatically applies them when connecting to AV devices, eliminating the need for users to perform setup actions in real-time.
2Measurement precision
If manual setup control is required for AV devices, then control precision is improved, but operation time and convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device creates and stores copies of setup values that can be automatically transmitted to AV devices. These pre-configured setup value copies enable rapid deployment of control settings without requiring users to manually adjust each parameter, maintaining precision while reducing time.
Solution Approach 2:
Setup values are prepared and stored in advance in the mobile device's storage unit. When the mobile device connects to an AV device, these pre-prepared setup values are automatically transmitted and applied, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual setup operations while maintaining control precision.
3Ease of operation
If setup values are transmitted automatically when communication starts, then ease of operation is improved, but risk of incorrect setup application increases
Solution Approach 1:
The AV device receives setup values from the mobile device and provides feedback by displaying UI information reflecting the applied setup. This feedback mechanism allows users to verify that the correct setup values have been transmitted and applied, ensuring reliability while maintaining automatic operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication unit and controller act as intermediaries that manage the transmission and application of setup values. The controller coordinates the transmission process and ensures that setup values are properly applied, while the communication unit handles the data exchange, providing a controlled intermediary layer between the mobile device and AV device.

AI summary
Disclosed is a mobile device. The mobile device includes: a display; a user input receiving unit which receives input by a user; a storage unit; a communication unit which communicates with an external AV device via a network; and a controller which receives UI information of the AV device from the AV device through the communication unit to display the UI information on the display, controls the storage unit to store a user setup value of the AV device according to the input of the user, and controls the communication unit to transmit the user setup value to the AV device when the communication unit starts communicating with the AV device.
