Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile terminals cannot be controlled remotely, which poses challenges in accessing important functions and data when the device is not physically present, such as when a user forgets to carry their mobile phone.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that allows mobile terminals to acquire system permission, establish a connection with a remote control device, and recognize and execute remote control instructions, enabling remote control over the mobile terminal by using a control application or virtual screen for intuitive operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual control methods are used, then the mobile terminal can be operated, but remote control capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote control capabilityVSAvoidcontrol mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a remote control device as an intermediary that communicates with the mobile terminal through a communication module. This mediator enables remote operation by transmitting control instructions from the remote device to the mobile terminal, solving the contradiction between ease of remote operation and device complexity through modular communication architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a virtual representation of the mobile terminal interface on the remote control device. By copying the display content and control interface to the remote device, users can interact with the mobile terminal as if physically present, achieving remote control without significantly increasing the mobile terminal's inherent complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If system permission is acquired for remote control, then control authority is sufficient, but security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol authorityVSAvoidsecurity risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary authentication and permission granting mechanisms before remote control operations begin. The system permission is acquired through predefined authentication protocols, ensuring that only authorized remote devices can control the mobile terminal. This preliminary action establishes security boundaries while maintaining sufficient control authority for legitimate operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the mobile terminal monitors and reports control operations to the user. This feedback loop allows real-time verification of remote control actions, enabling the user to authorize or terminate specific operations, thus balancing control authority with security risk management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A mobile terminal control method includes: acquiring, by a mobile terminal, system permission of an operating system of the mobile terminal; establishing, by the mobile terminal, a connection to a remote control device; receiving, by the mobile terminal, a remote control instruction from the remote control device, the remote control instruction being an instruction recognizable to the operating system of the mobile terminal, and the remote control instruction being used for remote control over the mobile terminal; and recognizing, by the mobile terminal, the remote control instruction by using the operating system, and executing an operation corresponding to the remote control instruction on the basis of the system permission.
