Multi-Device Account Binding Using QR Code Identity Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of binding multiple household appliances to a user account is tedious and inefficient, leading to a poor user experience due to repetitive operations.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a data carrier image to simultaneously bind user account information to multiple electrical devices by processing the image to obtain identity identifiers and associate them with the devices, along with encryption and uploading to a cloud server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users bind multiple household appliances through network access and mobile phone sequentially, then each device can be properly registered and controlled, but the operation becomes tedious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple sequential binding operations into a single batch binding operation. Instead of binding each appliance individually through separate network access and mobile phone operations, the system allows users to bind multiple devices simultaneously by scanning a QR code that contains encoded device information, thereby reducing the time required while maintaining binding reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating QR codes that contain encoded device identification and network information before the actual binding process. This allows the binding operation to be completed in a single step when the QR code is scanned, eliminating the need for sequential configuration steps and reducing overall binding time
2Ease of operation
If users perform repetitive binding operations for each household appliance, then each device can be individually configured and controlled, but the operation becomes tedious resulting in poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple individual binding operations into a single batch operation. Users can bind multiple appliances simultaneously by scanning one QR code that contains information for all devices, transforming a multi-step repetitive process into a single simple action that is both easier to operate and faster to complete
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses QR codes as a copy mechanism to replicate device binding information across multiple devices. Instead of manually configuring each device individually, the binding information is copied and transferred through the QR code scanning process, making the operation easier and reducing the time required

AI summary
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method for binding a plurality of electrical devices. The method includes obtaining a data carrier image, processing the data carrier image to obtain identity identifiers of the plurality of electrical devices, and associating user account information in an application with the identity identifiers of the plurality of electrical devices to bind the user account information and the plurality of electrical devices.
