Remote Control Server for Heterogeneous Portable Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional remote control systems are limited in their ability to access and control heterogeneous portable terminals, as they require the same operating system and high-speed network bandwidth, making it difficult to share data and provide unified control across different devices.
Innovation Solution
A remote control system and method that employs a remote control management server to convert remote control command and response messages into formats compatible with the target terminal, enabling remote access and control of both homogeneous and heterogeneous portable terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If remote control is implemented between portable terminals with different operating systems, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for message format conversion
Solution Approach 1:
A message conversion server is introduced as an intermediary component between control terminals and target terminals with different operating systems. The server receives commands in one format, converts them to the target terminal's required format, and relays the converted messages. This mediator approach enables heterogeneous terminals to communicate without requiring direct compatibility between them, thus improving adaptability while managing complexity through centralized conversion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by converting message formats between different operating systems. The message conversion server modifies parameters such as command structure, data types, and communication protocols to match the target terminal's requirements. This transformation of parameters enables seamless communication between terminals with different OS architectures, resolving the contradiction between versatility and complexity.
2Productivity
If high-speed network bandwidth is required for remote control, then productivity is improved, but loss of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The remote control system is segmented into multiple components: control terminal, message conversion server, and target terminal. This segmentation allows each component to operate independently with optimized resource usage. The server handles format conversion while terminals focus on communication, enabling efficient data transfer without requiring excessive network bandwidth, thus reducing energy consumption while maintaining productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces direct high-speed mechanical data transfer with a protocol-based communication system that uses standard network bandwidth. By substituting the need for high-speed physical connections with intelligent message formatting and conversion, the system achieves efficient remote control without the energy penalty of high-bandwidth networks.

AI summary
Provided are a remote control system and method for controlling portable terminals. The remote control system includes a control terminal which is a portable terminal that performs a remote control operation, a target terminal which is a portable terminal that is subject to the remote control operation performed by the control terminal, and a remote control management server which determines whether the control terminal and the target terminal are heterogeneous, and if the two terminals are heterogeneous, converts messages respectively transmitted from the control terminal and the target terminal to a format conforming to corresponding receiving terminals.
