Multi-Connection Electronic Device Automatic Network Formation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices require manual intervention to establish and manage connections between multiple devices, leading to inconvenience for users, especially when trying to connect two devices that are already connected to a third device.
Innovation Solution
A method for establishing a multi-connection state between electronic devices automatically or with minimal user interaction by checking device information and using a communication interface and processor to manage connections, allowing devices to automatically connect and share information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual connection management is used, then connection reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables devices to automatically manage their own connections by transmitting device information to connected devices, which then autonomously establish connections with other devices in the network without requiring user intervention for each connection action
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by having the first electronic device transmit device information of the second device to the third device in advance, so that when the third device needs to connect to the second device, the connection can be established immediately using the pre-provided information
2Ease of operation
If automatic connection establishment is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The first electronic device acts as an intermediary by holding and transmitting device information of the second device to the third device, enabling automatic connection establishment without requiring complex peer-to-peer discovery and pairing mechanisms between all devices
3Adaptability or versatility
If frequent connection release and new connection procedures are performed, then adaptability is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains continuous connection capability by allowing devices to hold device information of multiple other devices simultaneously, enabling seamless switching and connection establishment without interruption or time loss when connection needs change
