Multi-Messenger Connection Control for Display Device Pairing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods fail to efficiently manage messenger connections between display devices and electronic devices using multiple messenger applications, leading to increased operational complexity due to the need for separate applications for each messenger system.
Innovation Solution
A messenger connection service server integrates multiple messenger systems, enabling authentication and message processing between electronic devices and display devices, and generates messenger connection information to facilitate seamless communication across different messenger platforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate applications are used for each messenger system, then each messenger can be managed independently, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple messenger applications into a single integrated application that can handle connections with display devices across different messenger systems (e.g., Facebook Messenger, Line, KakaoTalk). This unified approach eliminates the need for users to manage separate applications for each messenger, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining reliable connections through a centralized management interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated messenger application performs multiple functions by supporting various messenger systems within a single platform. It can identify different messenger types, establish connections accordingly, and provide universal control over display device connections regardless of which messenger system is used, thus reducing the number of separate applications needed.
2Ease of operation
If multiple messenger applications are integrated, then operational complexity is reduced, but identification and routing of messages becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component within the integrated application that automatically identifies the type of messenger being used and routes messages appropriately. This mediator detects the messenger system (Facebook Messenger, Line, KakaoTalk, etc.) and handles the complex routing logic, making the process transparent to users while simplifying operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms to detect and identify messenger types based on connection requests and device responses. By monitoring authentication processes and device identifiers, the integrated application automatically determines which messenger system is being used and adjusts its routing accordingly, reducing the difficulty of detection while maintaining ease of operation.

AI summary
An example method of performing a messenger connection control between an electronic device and a display device in a server computing apparatus includes receiving a request for a connection to the display device from the electronic device via a messenger application, identifying a type of the messenger application used for the connection request, performing authentication of the electronic device and the display device, based on the authentication of the electronic device and the display device, generating messenger connection information including messenger identification information indicating the identified type of messenger application, user identification information for identifying a user using the messenger application on the electronic device, and connected device identification information for identifying the display device, and performing, based on the generated messenger connection information, messenger connection control between the electronic device and the display device.
