Mobile Device Configuration Transfer for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when multiple users need to log in and set preferences for electronic devices, such as medical imaging apparatuses, as they must input IDs and passwords individually and reconfigure settings on each device.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that detect nearby mobile devices, receive user configuration information, and automatically set the device according to the detected mobile device's settings, allowing for seamless operation and registration of mobile devices for unified control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users log in by inputting ID and password individually on each device, then the device can be set with personalized user settings, but the operation process becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent copies user configuration information from a mobile device to the target device. Instead of manually inputting settings on each device, the system creates a digital copy of user preferences, profile data, and configuration parameters stored on the mobile device and transfers it to the target device, eliminating repetitive manual configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-storing user configuration information on the mobile device before the user needs to access the target device. The system prepares user profiles, settings, and preferences in advance on the mobile device, so that when the user approaches the target device, the configuration can be automatically transferred without real-time manual input
2Adaptability or versatility
If user configuration information is stored in the device, then personalized settings can be applied, but users must reconfigure settings when using another device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by making user configuration information portable across multiple devices. The system stores user profiles and settings on the mobile device in a universal format that can be transferred to any target device, allowing the same user configuration to work across different devices rather than being device-specific
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile device serves as an intermediary that mediates between multiple target devices and user configuration information. Instead of storing settings directly in each target device, the mobile device acts as a central repository and transfer medium, facilitating seamless configuration sharing across the device ecosystem
3Reliability
If manual login and configuration is required for each device, then security can be maintained, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically perform configuration transfer without requiring manual authentication for each device. The mobile device automatically transmits user configuration information to target devices based on proximity detection or user initiation, eliminating the need for repeated manual login while maintaining security through controlled transfer mechanisms
Data Source
AI summary
A device and a method of controlling the device are provided. The method includes detecting a mobile device within a distance from the device, receiving user configuration information from the mobile device, and performing an operation of the device based on the user configuration information.
