Peripheral Device Remote Signal Matching Using Usage Patterns
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices often inaccurately identify operations of peripheral devices and may control them with mismatched remote control signals, leading to unintended operations that require user intervention to correct, causing inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a communication interface, memory, and processor that transmits and manages control signals based on user patterns, storing usage pattern information to avoid unnecessary signal approvals and correct mismatched operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the display device transmits additional approval signals (e.g., enter key) along with channel signals to peripheral devices, then the peripheral device can execute operations more completely, but unintended operations occur and user inconvenience increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a feedback mechanism where the display device receives status information from the peripheral device after transmitting control signals. Based on this feedback, the display device determines whether additional approval signals are needed, thereby avoiding unintended operations while ensuring complete execution of user intentions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent stores usage pattern information in advance that indicates whether approval signals should be transmitted for specific channel signals. This preliminary storage of control patterns allows the display device to avoid transmitting unnecessary approval signals that would cause unintended operations.
2Ease of operation
If the display device transmits only basic remote control signals without modification, then signal transmission is simple, but operations do not match user intentions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the control signal transmission based on stored usage patterns. The display device determines whether to transmit additional approval signals or cancel signals based on the specific channel signal and stored usage pattern information, making the signal transmission adaptive rather than static.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device automatically determines and transmits the appropriate control signals based on stored usage patterns without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by automatically correcting signal sequences to match user intentions.
3Reliability
If the display device requires user intervention to correct mismatched operations, then operation accuracy can be maintained, but user burden increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The display device automatically corrects mismatched operations by determining the appropriate control signals based on stored usage patterns and transmitting them without user intervention. This self-correction mechanism maintains operation accuracy while eliminating the need for user burden.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from stored usage patterns to automatically adjust control signal transmission, enabling the display device to self-correct operations and maintain accuracy without requiring user intervention, thereby improving operational efficiency.
