Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in remotely controlling and managing computer devices, particularly concerning security issues like virus attacks, as they cannot access their computers from anywhere, leading to potential data loss and security breaches.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that allows users to control computer devices through a mobile terminal by establishing a control center that stores terminal and device information, receives instructions, and forwards them to the associated computer device, enabling execution and result feedback, thus enabling remote control and management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a user directly controls a computer device locally, then the control operation is simple and fast, but the user cannot control the device from anywhere at any time, reducing accessibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol operation simplicityVSAvoidremote accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a control center as an intermediary component that receives control instructions from mobile terminals and forwards them to computer devices. This mediator enables remote control functionality while maintaining the simplicity of local control operations, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and remote accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a control center is introduced to enable remote control, then remote accessibility is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote accessibilityVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control center is designed with multi-functional capabilities, serving as a centralized platform that handles multiple control instructions, manages correspondence relationships between terminals and devices, and provides both remote control and local control functionalities. This universal design reduces overall system complexity by consolidating control functions in a single multi-purpose component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Device complexity

If the user cannot access the computer device remotely, then the system structure remains simple, but security issues like virus attacks cannot be addressed timely

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structure simplicityVSAvoidsecurity response capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes correspondence relationships between mobile terminals and computer devices in advance through the control center. This preliminary setup enables rapid security response by having pre-configured communication channels ready, allowing users to immediately control and secure their devices when threats are detected, without requiring complex ad-hoc system configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
