Current computer-based systems for processing information and communications involving mobile devices and interactive posters lack real-time, secure, and efficient methods for user interaction tracking and data transmission, particularly in environments that require secure data handling and network connectivity.

Innovation Solution

The system establishes encrypted Bluetooth sessions between mobile devices and interactive posters, allowing real-time user selection mirroring, tracking, and data transmission to a server, utilizing a software application that generates a graphical user interface and processes user-specific experience data, while ensuring secure communication and data encryption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If encrypted Bluetooth sessions are established between mobile devices and interactive posters, then security is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A centralized server acts as an intermediary between mobile devices and interactive posters, managing encrypted Bluetooth sessions and data transmission. The server handles the complexity of encryption protocols, session management, and data routing, while mobile devices and posters only need to implement basic encrypted communication capabilities. This distributes the computational burden and simplifies the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If real-time user interaction tracking is implemented, then user experience personalization is improved, but data processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and categorizes user interaction data as it is collected, organizing it into structured formats that can be quickly retrieved and analyzed. User preferences, interaction patterns, and behavior data are prepared in advance for future personalization tasks, reducing the computational burden during real-time processing and enabling faster response times.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If multiple encrypted communication channels are maintained, then data security is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication securityVSAvoidmobile device energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic session renewal and key rotation mechanisms for encrypted Bluetooth connections. Instead of maintaining continuous high-energy encryption states, the system periodically refreshes security credentials and transitions between active communication and low-power states. This allows mobile devices to maintain secure connections while reducing overall energy consumption through intermittent rather than continuous cryptographic operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
