Oral Scanner WiFi Access via QR Authentication Scanning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless oral scanning devices face challenges in conveniently and quickly accessing wireless networks due to the need for Bluetooth hardware, which increases device size and results in slow connections.
Innovation Solution
The method involves scanning a target identifier containing authentication information, such as a two-dimensional barcode or marker point image, to access a wireless network without Bluetooth, using a two-dimensional code parsing module to identify and connect to the network based on pre-stored accounts or entered passwords.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If Bluetooth hardware is installed in the wireless oral scanning device to enable WiFi network access, then the device can connect to wireless networks, but the device size increases and connection speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the Bluetooth hardware component from the wireless oral scanning device and replaces it with a code scanning module. The authentication information is transferred from Bluetooth communication to being embedded in visual codes (QR codes or barcodes) that the scanning device can read optically, thereby eliminating the need for Bluetooth hardware while maintaining network access capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/electronic Bluetooth communication system with an optical scanning system. Instead of using radio frequency communication between Bluetooth modules, the system uses optical scanning of visual codes to transmit authentication information, substituting one communication paradigm with another that is more suitable for the device constraints.
2Adaptability or versatility
If Bluetooth hardware is installed in the wireless oral scanning device to enable WiFi network access, then the device can connect to wireless networks, but the connection speed becomes slow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating visual codes that contain embedded authentication information (WiFi credentials) before the connection process. This allows the scanning device to immediately scan and obtain network credentials without undergoing a lengthy Bluetooth pairing and data exchange process, significantly accelerating the connection speed.
3Adaptability or versatility
If Bluetooth hardware is installed in the wireless oral scanning device, then the device can access wireless networks, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the Bluetooth hardware module from the device structure, thereby simplifying the overall device architecture. By extracting this unnecessary component and replacing it with a lighter code scanning capability, the device becomes structurally simpler while maintaining its core function of wireless network access.
