Solution Overview

Problem

Current radio control systems require repetitive binding processes for users to switch between multiple units with a single transmit controller, which is time-consuming and inconvenient, and may result in incorrect parameter settings leading to unit crashes due to lack of automatic profile selection and multi-user interference.

Innovation Solution

A method where a radio control receiver automatically links with a transmit controller by storing identifiers and selecting the appropriate profile for each unit, allowing for automatic binding and exclusion of other controllers, ensuring correct parameter settings and preventing interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If a transmit controller is bound to multiple units, then a user can switch between units without repeating the bind process, but it becomes difficult to ensure correct parameter settings for each unit

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime to repeat bind processVSAvoidcorrect parameter settings
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the binding information by creating separate profile entries for each unit, where each profile contains unit-specific parameters. When a user switches between units, the system automatically selects and applies the appropriate profile, ensuring correct parameter settings for each unit while maintaining the convenience of multiple bindings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary configuration by pre-storing parameter profiles for each bound unit. Before the user needs to switch units, the relevant parameter sets are already prepared and associated with each unit identifier, enabling automatic selection and application of correct parameters during unit switching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the link switch is located in a waterproof enclosure within the unit body, then the unit is protected from water damage, but a user must remove the body and use tools to access the link switch

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaterproof protectionVSAvoidaccess to link switch
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The linking functionality is extracted from the physical switch mechanism and implemented as an electronic/software-based solution. The system can perform binding operations through electronic interfaces without requiring physical access to enclosed switches, thereby maintaining waterproof protection while enabling easy access to linking functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple users share a single unit with their own transmit controllers, then resource utilization is improved, but interference and confusion may occur between users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-user sharingVSAvoiduser interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system assigns unique local characteristics to each user's connection through individual profile configurations. Each transmit controller is associated with specific parameter sets and operational settings tailored to that user's preferences and requirements, ensuring that each user's controls affect only their intended unit without interfering with other users' operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method for a radio control receiver establishing a link with a radio control transmit controller is provided. Two or more identifiers are stored in a radio control receiver. Each identifier is an identifier of a radio control transmit controller. The receiver receives a first signal from a first transmit controller. The first signal includes at least an identifier of the first transmit controller. The receiver determines if the identifier of the first transmit controller is stored in the plurality of identifiers. If the identifier of the first transmit controller is stored in the plurality of identifiers, the receiver transmits a second signal to the first transmit controller.
