Network Service Device Naming Using Held Information Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In network services with multiple connected devices, identifying a desired device is difficult due to the complexity of creating easily identifiable device names.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that acquires and displays held information such as device name, location, and IP address, allowing users to easily set these as the device name through a setting screen with options for selection and customization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If a user creates a custom device name to easily identify a desired device, then the device identification becomes easier, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates candidate device names using held information (device type, location, model, etc.) before the user needs to identify a device. This preliminary generation of identifiable names eliminates the need for users to create complex custom names, thereby reducing operation complexity while maintaining easy device identification.
Solution Approach 2:
The system serves itself by automatically generating device names from its own held information without requiring user intervention. The device name generation is performed autonomously based on predefined criteria, reducing the operational burden on users while ensuring devices are easily identifiable.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple devices are registered in the network service, then the network service functionality is enhanced, but the device identification difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments device identification by generating unique candidate names for each device based on their specific held information (device type, location, model, serial number, etc.). This segmentation approach allows multiple devices to be registered in the network service while maintaining distinguishable identifiers for each device, thereby enhancing network service functionality without increasing identification difficulty.
Solution Approach 2:
Each device receives a customized candidate name generated from its own local held information characteristics. This local quality approach ensures that even though multiple devices are registered, each device has a unique and meaningful identifier based on its specific attributes, making device identification easier despite the increased number of devices in the network service.
3Ease of operation
If a default device name is used, then the operation simplicity is maintained, but the device identification effectiveness decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides dynamic device name generation where candidate names are automatically created from held information and can be adjusted based on user selection. This dynamic approach maintains operation simplicity by providing ready-made candidate names while improving device identification effectiveness through meaningful content in the generated names, unlike static default names.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of device names by incorporating various held information elements (device type, location, model, serial number) into candidate name generation. This parameter change transforms generic default names into specific, identifiable names while maintaining operational simplicity through automated generation and user selection interfaces.

AI summary
An information processing device includes a processor configured to: acquire, when setting a device name for a predetermined network service, held information held by a device; output a setting screen for displaying the acquired held information and setting the acquired held information as the device name; and receive a result of selection of the held information from the setting screen and set the selected held information as the device name for the network service.
