Communication Apparatus QR Code Parameter Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems require complex manual settings of parameters like identifiers and security information to connect with a wireless network, and there is a need for a new base station to easily configure a wireless network with the same identifier as an existing one to maintain user familiarity and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A communication apparatus that receives communication parameters, including an identifier and security information, from a first base station and transmits these parameters to a second base station, allowing the second base station to configure a wireless network with the same identifier and security settings as the first, using a management apparatus that captures QR codes or other forms of authentication information for secure parameter sharing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual setting of communication parameters is used, then security information can be configured, but the operation becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses QR codes to copy and transmit communication parameters (identifier, security information) from the first base station to the second base station. This eliminates manual input while ensuring accurate transmission of security parameters, resolving the contradiction between secure configuration and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a management apparatus as an intermediary that facilitates parameter transmission between base stations. The management apparatus receives QR code data and transmits parameters automatically, removing the need for complex manual configuration while maintaining security information integrity
2Reliability
If a new base station uses a different identifier, then network security is maintained, but user familiarity and convenience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent copies the identifier from the first base station to the second base station through QR code transmission. This allows users to recognize and connect to the network using their familiar identifier, improving convenience while the secure parameter transmission method maintains security
Solution Approach 2:
The management apparatus acts as an intermediary that securely transmits the original network identifier to the new base station. This ensures the identifier is accurately copied for user familiarity while the controlled transmission process maintains security standards
3Manufacturing precision
If security information is manually entered, then configuration accuracy can be verified, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent copies parameters directly from the first base station's QR code to the second base station, eliminating manual entry time. The QR code format ensures accurate transmission of all parameters including security information, resolving the contradiction between accuracy and time efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The first base station pre-generates a QR code containing all necessary communication parameters in the correct format. This preliminary preparation ensures that when the second base station receives the parameters, they are already in the exact format needed for configuration, eliminating both manual entry time and format verification time
Data Source
AI summary
A communication apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives, from a first base station via wireless communication, a first communication parameter including an identifier and first security information about a first wireless network configured by the first base station, and a transmitting unit that transmits, via wireless communication, a communication parameter including the identifier to a second base station.
