Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face inefficiencies in pairing measurement devices with communication devices due to the potential for unintended pairing when multiple devices are present in the same space, leading to reduced work efficiency and increased operational complexity.
Innovation Solution
A communication device with a radio wave shielding portion is used to direct radio waves upward, allowing for efficient pairing by ensuring only devices above the communication device are paired, utilizing a processor to manage pairing based on radio wave intensity and stored identification/authentication information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple measurement devices and communication devices are disposed in the same space to improve work efficiency, then pairing operations can be performed in parallel, but unintended pairing between wrong device pairs occurs reducing reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a localized radio wave environment around each communication device using radio wave shielding portions. Each shielding portion confines radio waves to its specific region, ensuring that only measurement devices in the immediate vicinity can pair with the corresponding communication device. This localized control maintains pairing accuracy while allowing multiple parallel pairing operations in the same space.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the shared space into multiple isolated radio wave regions using radio wave shielding portions. Each shielding portion creates a separate communication zone around its associated communication device, effectively dividing the space so that pairing operations in different regions do not interfere with each other. This segmentation enables reliable parallel pairing operations.
2Measurement precision
If radio wave shielding portions are added to direct radio waves upward for accurate pairing, then pairing accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces radio wave shielding portions as intermediary structures between the communication devices and measurement devices. These shielding portions act as mediators that control and direct radio wave propagation, ensuring that radio waves from each communication device reach only the intended measurement device above it. This intermediary structure achieves accurate pairing without requiring complex software or processing logic.
