Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing Bluetooth remote controllers for smart televisions and network set-top boxes have low pairing connection efficiency due to the need for manual pairing and alignment, which requires a display screen and is time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
A remote controller connection method and apparatus that automatically establishes a short-range radio-frequency communication link between the remote controller and the electrical appliance by matching stored communication identification information with broadcasted information, eliminating the need for user intervention and screen display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual pairing and connection is used for Bluetooth remote controller, then connection reliability is ensured through user confirmation, but pairing connection efficiency deteriorates due to time-consuming operations and screen display requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The remote controller pre-stores communication identification information of the electrical appliance in its local storage region before actual connection is needed. When connection is required, the controller retrieves this pre-stored information and performs automatic matching with broadcasted identification, eliminating the need for manual pairing operations and screen display interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables the remote controller to automatically complete the pairing and connection process without requiring user intervention. The controller autonomously scans for broadcasted identification information, matches it with stored information, initiates connection requests, and completes authentication automatically, making the system serve itself rather than requiring external user operation.
2Productivity
If automatic matching based on stored identification information is implemented, then pairing connection efficiency is improved by eliminating manual operations, but connection reliability may deteriorate without user confirmation
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the remote controller scans for broadcasted identification information from the electrical appliance, compares it with pre-stored identification information, and only proceeds with connection when a match is found. This automatic verification feedback loop ensures that connections are established accurately with the intended device, maintaining reliability while achieving automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote controller pre-stores the correct communication identification information of the target electrical appliance before connection is needed. This preliminary action ensures that when automatic matching occurs, the comparison is against the correct pre-stored identifier, guaranteeing connection accuracy to the intended device while enabling automated operation.
3Ease of operation
If screen display is required for pairing and connection, then user control and confirmation are ensured, but device complexity and operation time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system eliminates the requirement for screen display during pairing and connection by enabling the remote controller to autonomously complete the entire process. The controller automatically retrieves pre-stored identification information, scans for and matches broadcasted identification, initiates connection requests, and completes authentication without any user interaction or visual confirmation, thereby eliminating time loss while maintaining operational integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts and removes the screen display requirement from the pairing and connection process. By separating the identification matching and connection establishment functions from the need for visual user confirmation, the system achieves automatic connection without screens, eliminating both the time loss and device complexity associated with display requirements while preserving essential control capabilities.

AI summary
A connection method includes obtaining first communication identification information stored in a local storage region of a remote controller, matching second communication identification information broadcasted by an electrical appliance with the first communication identification information, and establishing, in response to the second communication identification information being successfully matched with the first communication identification information, a short-range radio-frequency communication link between the remote controller and the electrical appliance. The short-range radio-frequency communication link being used for control of the electrical appliance by the remote controller.
