Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile terminals complicate user identification of Bluetooth, portable Wi-Fi hotspot, and Wi-Fi Direct devices due to default or random naming, leading to user confusion when connecting devices.

Innovation Solution

A method for automatically generating and displaying functional module names for mobile terminals, allowing users to set and confirm names, reducing operational complexity by integrating a setting module for user input, a name generating module for automatic name creation, a displaying module for interface listing, a prompting module for confirmation, and a saving module for state-dependent storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If default device names are used for Bluetooth and portable WIFI hotspot modules, then device identification is simplified, but user distinction and recognition become disordered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice identification complexityVSAvoiduser distinction ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the device identification system by creating separate naming mechanisms for different functional modules (Bluetooth module, portable WIFI hotspot module, WIFI Direct module). Each module can have its own customized name, allowing users to distinguish between different functions while maintaining simplified identification within each module.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different naming characteristics for different functional modules. Instead of using a uniform default name across all modules, each module can have customized naming properties (such as incorporating module-specific identifiers or user-defined names), enabling local differentiation while maintaining overall system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Extent of automation

If random values are used to identify WIFI hot spots and WIFI Direct devices, then identification is generated automatically, but user recognition and distinction become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification generation automationVSAvoiduser recognition ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring naming rules and templates for different functional modules before actual device connection. The system prepares multiple preset naming patterns that combine automated elements with user-friendly characteristics, so when devices are connected, the names are already optimized for recognition rather than requiring post-connection modification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables self-service by allowing the system to automatically generate meaningful names based on device characteristics, connection type, and pre-set rules. The naming system serves itself by extracting relevant information from device properties and constructing recognizable names without requiring manual user input for each connection, while still maintaining user recognition capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If users individually modify the name of each module, then device identification accuracy is improved, but operational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice identification accuracyVSAvoidnaming operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a centralized naming management system that handles multiple functional modules through a single interface. Instead of requiring separate naming operations for Bluetooth, WIFI hotspot, and WIFI Direct modules, the system provides a unified naming mechanism that can manage all modules simultaneously, reducing operational complexity while maintaining identification accuracy.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the naming operations for different functional modules into a single integrated process. By combining the naming functionality across Bluetooth, portable WIFI hotspot, and WIFI Direct modules into one unified system, users can manage all device names through a single operation rather than individually modifying each module, thereby reducing overall operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
