Network System Remote Control Standby Mode
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network systems for electric appliances require users to be physically present to control them, limiting remote operation and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A network system that enables remote control of electric appliances by establishing a communication connection between an electric appliance and a control device using a first and second component with unique device codes, generating a connection sequence, and switching to a standby mode if no information exchange occurs within a predetermined time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a network system enables remote control of electric appliances through communication connection, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional communication protocols and connection management
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic connection establishment and information exchange between components without requiring manual configuration. The first and second components automatically exchange communication addresses and device codes, and the system autonomously determines connection status based on information exchange timing, eliminating the need for complex manual setup procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses periodic connection attempts and information exchange checks to maintain communication. By switching to standby mode after a predetermined time without information exchange, the system creates periodic activation cycles that reduce continuous communication overhead while maintaining remote control capability.
2Reliability
If the system maintains continuous communication connection for remote control, then reliability is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system switches to standby mode after a predetermined time without information exchange, creating periodic activation cycles. This allows the communication interface to remain reliable when needed while consuming minimal energy during idle periods, as the system periodically checks for and re-establishes connections rather than maintaining continuous active communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The system discards active communication connections during idle periods by switching to standby mode, and recovers them when communication is needed again. This approach maintains reliability by preserving the ability to re-establish connections while reducing energy consumption during periods when no communication occurs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system establishes communication connection between multiple components, then adaptability is improved, but loss of time increases due to connection establishment and information exchange
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary information exchange between components during the connection establishment phase, including exchanging communication addresses and device codes. By completing this information exchange upfront, the system reduces the time required for subsequent communications and enables faster adaptability when new components are added to the network.

AI summary
A network system is provided. The network system includes: a first component having a first device code and performing a predetermined function; and a second component having a second device code and exchanging information with the first component for communication connection. One of the first and second components receives a command for the communication connection and generates a connection sequence. The component generating the connection sequence exchanges communication addresses and device codes with the other component receiving the connection sequence. If the information has not been exchanged between the first component and the second component during a predetermined time, the first component and the second component are switched to a communication connection standby mode.
