Player Terminal Do Not Disturb Control via Identity Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing player terminal systems lack the ability to allow exclusive control by a specific user terminal during a designated time period, leading to potential disruptions when multiple users attempt to control the same device simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for a player terminal that receives a 'do not disturb' setting instruction, setting a specific time period and authorized control identity, and only executes control instructions from the matching identity within that period, while prohibiting or prompting other users accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a player terminal is connected to multiple mobile phones simultaneously to allow family members to control it, then the ease of operation and accessibility are improved, but the ability of a specific user to have exclusive control during a specific time period deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control permissions by allowing the authorized terminal's identity to change over time. The system accepts multiple do not disturb setting instructions with different time periods and authorized identities, enabling the authorized terminal to be dynamically updated. This resolves the contradiction by making the control authority flexible and time-dependent rather than static.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by setting up do not disturb setting instructions in advance with predetermined time periods and authorized terminal identities. Before the actual control conflict occurs, the system has already established the rules for exclusive control, ensuring that when multiple users attempt to control the player terminal, the pre-defined authorized terminal will be recognized and granted exclusive access.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the player terminal allows control from any connected mobile phone, then the adaptability and versatility are improved, but the control security and user privacy during specific time periods deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating control permissions for different terminal identities within the same system. Instead of uniform control access for all connected mobile phones, the system assigns specific authorized terminal identities that are recognized during do not disturb time periods. This creates a localized permission structure where only the authorized terminal can control the player terminal during protected time periods, while other terminals are restricted.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of identity verification. When a control instruction is received, the system intermediates by checking whether the controlling terminal's identity matches the authorized terminal identity in the do not disturb setting instructions. This intermediary verification process prevents unauthorized control while maintaining the ability to allow control from multiple terminals when authorized.
3Measurement precision
If the player terminal implements time-based exclusive control restrictions, then the user experience and control precision are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control logic into distinct functional modules: receiving do not disturb setting instructions with time periods and authorized identities, determining whether the current time falls within a do not disturb time period, verifying terminal identity against the authorized identity, and executing appropriate control actions. This segmentation of complex control logic into manageable segments makes the system easier to implement and maintain while achieving precise time-based control restrictions.

AI summary
A player terminal controlling method includes receiving a do not disturb setting instruction transmitted from a target control terminal, which carries a time period and an identity of the target control terminal; setting a do not disturb time period as the time period and setting an identity of an authorized control terminal as the identity of the target control terminal within the do not disturb time period; determining whether an identity of a control terminal is identical to the identity of the authorized control terminal; and executing an operation corresponding to the control instruction when the identity of the control terminal is identical to the identity of the authorized control terminal. As can be seen, the present disclosure can increase the ability of a user terminal to take exclusive control of the player terminal at a specific time period.
