Mobile Terminal Automatic Service Model Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of service apparatuses, such as image forming devices, face inconvenience when different models are installed simultaneously, requiring them to check the model for compatibility with their mobile applications, which can be cumbersome and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A non-transitory computer readable medium and information processing system that automatically detects the model of a service apparatus through wireless communication, such as beacon packets or SSIDs, and activates the corresponding execution function within the mobile terminal, ensuring compatibility and seamless service provision without user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users manually check the model of service apparatus for compatibility, then service compatibility is ensured, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal automatically performs model detection and compatibility judgment without requiring user intervention. The terminal self-services by acquiring model information through wireless communication, comparing it with stored compatibility data, and automatically selecting the appropriate application, thereby ensuring service compatibility while maintaining user convenience
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-stores compatibility relationship data between service apparatus models and applications in the mobile terminal before actual use. This preliminary preparation enables rapid automatic compatibility verification during operation, ensuring reliable service matching without requiring users to manually check compatibility at the time of use
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple models of service apparatus are installed simultaneously, then service versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The compatibility management function is segmented into distinct components: model information acquisition module, compatibility judgment module, and application selection module. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple service apparatus models systematically by processing model information through separate functional blocks, reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal is designed with universal compatibility management capability that can handle multiple types of service apparatus models through a single integrated system. The terminal uses a unified approach of acquiring model information, judging compatibility, and selecting applications, making the system capable of managing diverse models without requiring separate management mechanisms for each model type

AI summary
A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program that causes a computer to execute information processing. The information processing includes: receiving, through a wireless line, model information indicating a model of a service apparatus configured to provide a service in cooperation with a mobile terminal; and execute a process of activating an execution function associated with the model of the service apparatus indicated by the model information from among plural execution functions included in the mobile terminal, the plural execution functions being execution functions of executing services each associated in advance with a respective one of models of service apparatuses.
