Remote Proxy Server for Short-Range Zone Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively create and manage networked short-range communication zones, such as Bluetooth networks, for devices in a user-friendly and revenue-generating manner, particularly through remote delivery of a short-range proxy server.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that involves registering devices with a network, receiving a unique ID, downloading an application, connecting short-range dongles, and enabling devices to create a networked short-range zone, allowing other devices to connect and download customized content while generating revenue through interaction requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a short-range proxy server is locally installed on each device, then network management and control is improved, but device complexity and installation burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the proxy server functionality from individual devices and relocates it to a remote server. The local device only needs to establish connections to the remote proxy server, which handles all complex network management, authentication, and control functions. This eliminates the need for complex local server installations while maintaining reliable network management through centralized control.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote proxy server acts as an intermediary between the short-range communication network and the external network. It mediates all communication requests, providing centralized management and control without requiring complex local infrastructure. The intermediary handles authentication, session management, and network policies, simplifying the local device requirements.
2Reliability
If short-range communication zones are created manually, then network security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring security policies, authentication mechanisms, and network parameters on the remote proxy server before devices join the network. When a device connects to the short-range communication zone, the security framework is already in place, and devices are automatically authenticated and assigned appropriate permissions without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote proxy server provides self-service capabilities by automatically managing device authentication, session creation, and security enforcement. Devices automatically register with the proxy server upon entering the short-range zone, receiving security credentials and network access without manual configuration. The system self-manages the entire security protocol, maintaining security while simplifying user operation.
