Remote Application Control via Mobile Terminal Intermediary
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices, such as children's learning machines, cannot effectively control application content from a distance, limiting the remote management of applications like e-books, multimedia playback, and jigsaw puzzles.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that enables remote control of electronic device applications through a mobile terminal by reading application content identifiers, outputting control options, and transmitting instructions via a wireless link to perform control operations on the electronic device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If application content is controlled only by performing an operation on the electronic device itself, then the control is simple and direct, but the control cannot be implemented when the electronic device is far away
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mobile terminal as an intermediary device between the user and the electronic device. The mobile terminal reads application content identifiers from the electronic device, displays them, and transmits control instructions back to the electronic device, enabling remote control when the electronic device is far away while maintaining simple operation for the user.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device stores multiple application content identifiers, then the functionality and versatility are improved, but the complexity of reading and managing these identifiers increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the function of reading and displaying application content identifiers from the electronic device and places it in the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal reads the identifiers from the electronic device, displays them locally, and allows the user to select and control specific content, thereby reducing the management complexity on the electronic device while maintaining versatility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If remote control functionality is added to enable control from distance, then the adaptability is improved, but the system complexity and communication requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal is utilized as a multi-functional device that combines reading application content identifiers, displaying them, receiving user selections, and transmitting control instructions. By leveraging the existing capabilities of the mobile terminal rather than adding dedicated remote control functionality to the electronic device, the system achieves remote control capability while minimizing additional complexity.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention disclose an electronic device control method and system, and a related device. In the method, a mobile terminal reads an application content identifier included in an application that is stored in an electronic device, outputs the application content identifier included in the application, and outputs, after a first selection operation on an output target application content identifier included in the application is detected, a control option list matching the target application content identifier; and on such a basis, the mobile terminal may detect a second selection operation on any one of content control options included in the control option list, and transmit, by using a wireless link, a content control instruction matching a chosen content control option to the electronic device, so as to trigger the electronic device to perform, by using the application, a control operation on application content to which the target application content identifier belongs. During implementation of the embodiments of the present invention, application content included in an application can be effectively controlled in a case where an electronic device is far away.
