Remote IoT Lighting Control via Code Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack the capability for remote ambience control in information handling systems interfaced with Internet of Things (IoT) networks, limiting the ability to dynamically adjust lighting and other environmental factors across locations for enhanced user experiences, such as in gaming applications.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that enable remote ambience control by sharing security codes between information handling systems to access and control IoT controllers, allowing for synchronized lighting adjustments across locations, with features like recovery and overwrite codes to manage control transitions and prioritize remote commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If security codes are shared between information handling systems to enable remote control of IoT controllers, then remote ambience control capability is improved, but system security and control authorization management become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments control authorization into distinct code types (security codes for access, overwrite codes for priority control, recovery codes for control transfer). This segmentation allows different levels and types of control to be managed independently, reducing the complexity of overall security management while enabling versatile remote control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary code-based authorization mechanism that mediates between remote information handling systems and local IoT controllers. Instead of direct complex authentication, simplified codes act as intermediaries to establish and manage control relationships, reducing security management complexity while maintaining remote access capability.
2Ease of operation
If remote information handling systems control ambience lighting at distant locations, then user experience in applications like gaming is enhanced, but network communication complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying of authorization codes (security codes, overwrite codes, recovery codes) to enable remote control. Instead of implementing complex real-time authentication and verification protocols, the system copies and shares these codes between information handling systems, simplifying network communication while enabling enhanced remote control for improved user experience.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple information handling systems share control of ambience lighting, then application functionality is enhanced, but control authorization management becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different types of control codes with specific local functions: security codes for basic access, overwrite codes for temporary priority control, and recovery codes for control transfer. Each code type has a specific local purpose, making multi-system control management easier while maintaining versatile bilateral control capability.

AI summary
Information handling systems interacting through a network, such as gaming between distal locations, remotely control ambience lighting of rooms in which the games are presented to enhance the interactive experience. An Internet of Things environmental lighting control system accessed by a remote information handling system adjusts illumination responsive to settings communicated from the remote information handling system.
