Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple devices perform authentication procedures through existing channels (e.g., Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi Direct), then device linkage can be established, but the authentication process becomes complex and time-consuming due to multiple procedures and user inputs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a beacon signal as an intermediary mechanism that mediates the authentication process between first and second devices. Instead of direct complex authentication between devices, the beacon signal serves as a simplified intermediary that carries device information and enables automatic authentication, reducing the complexity and user input requirements while maintaining security through existing channel protocols
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication process is segmented into distinct phases: beacon signal transmission phase, beacon signal reception phase, and authentication phase. This segmentation allows each phase to be handled independently with specific protocols, simplifying the overall complex authentication process by breaking it into manageable steps that can be automated
2Reliability
If existing authentication channels (Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi Direct) are used for device linkage, then device connection can be established, but the process requires significant user input and takes considerable time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by having devices continuously transmit and monitor beacon signals in the background before actual authentication is needed. This preliminary beacon exchange prepares the authentication pathway in advance, so when authentication is required, the devices can quickly proceed through the established channel without requiring users to manually initiate complex pairing procedures, significantly reducing authentication time
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication process is made self-service through automatic beacon signal monitoring and matching. Devices automatically monitor for beacon signals from other devices, automatically compare device information, and automatically complete authentication without requiring user intervention. This self-service automation eliminates the time-consuming manual input steps while maintaining secure connection reliability
3Reliability
If comprehensive device information is exchanged during authentication to ensure security, then authentication reliability improves, but the amount of data transmission and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential authentication elements from comprehensive device information exchange. Instead of transmitting all device data, the system extracts and transmits only the beacon signal containing critical device identifiers and authentication tokens through efficient channels. This extraction approach maintains authentication security by including necessary security credentials while significantly reducing the volume of data transmission and processing required

AI summary
A method for linkage between devices and an electronic device are provided. The method is applied to a system including a source device and at least one receiving device, for example, a system including a gaming mouse and a mouse pad. In the method, configuration information such as light effect information and clock information of the mouse is carried in a pulse signal exchanged between the gaming mouse and the mouse pad based on a wireless charging communication process between the gaming mouse and the mouse pad, so that the mouse pad can adjust its own originally set light effect mode based on the configuration information such as the light effect information and the clock information, and implement clock alignment with the mouse, thereby achieving an effect of light effect linkage between the mouse pad and the mouse. In this way, the mouse and the mouse pad can form overall light effect surrounding, thereby improving user experience.
