Remote Control Method Using Intermediating Server for Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote control methods between mobile communication terminals lack user convenience and security, particularly for general users unfamiliar with mobile communication technologies, as they often unintentionally accept remote control requests, leading to potential data leaks and system complexity.
Innovation Solution
A remote control method using an intermediating server that transmits and compares connection information, including phone numbers, between control-side and controlled-side mobile communication terminals to establish a secure communication session, ensuring user intention is confirmed and preventing unauthorized access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a user of the controlled-side mobile communication terminal unconsciously accepts a one-sided request for acceptance of a remote control, then the remote control can be established quickly, but the risk of unauthorized access and data leakage increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary server that mediates the remote control connection process. The server receives connection information from both the control-side and controlled-side terminals, verifies mutual consent through bidirectional connection requests, and establishes the connection only after confirming both parties agree. This intermediary mechanism prevents unconscious or unauthorized acceptance while maintaining efficient connection establishment.
2Reliability
If complicated authentication and consent procedures are implemented before remote control, then security is ensured, but user convenience and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the controlled-side terminal sends connection information back to the control-side terminal through the intermediary server, and both terminals must confirm acceptance. This bidirectional feedback loop ensures security through mutual consent verification while keeping the process simple and intuitive for users, avoiding complicated authentication procedures.
3Reliability
If authentication databases and servers are constructed to verify control-side terminal eligibility, then security is improved, but system complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a self-service mechanism where each terminal actively participates in verifying the other by sending and receiving connection information through the intermediary server. Both terminals must initiate connection requests and confirm acceptance, creating a mutual verification system without requiring complex authentication databases or centralized verification servers, thus reducing system complexity while maintaining security.

AI summary
A remote control method between a control-side mobile communication terminal and a controlled-side mobile communication terminal is provided which comprises executing remote control programs respectively mounted on the control-side and the controlled-side mobile communication terminals. Intention of a user of the controlled-side mobile communication terminal for accepting a remote control can be confirmed without having to perform a complicated authentication process, and both users' convenience and security can be secured.
