Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies lack efficient management of spa pool time reservations, particularly in terms of remote reservation settings, leading to inconvenience and reduced efficiency for spa management staff.

Innovation Solution

A method for constructing a data command frame for remote control of devices, comprising a first byte for the reserved working time start point, a second byte for the working duration, and a third byte for the reservation status of a whole working cycle, allowing for accurate and cyclic reservation settings, enabling remote reservation control of spa pools and other facilities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If spa pool management uses traditional local reservation settings, then the system is simple to operate, but the management staff cannot perform remote reservation settings and working efficiency is greatly reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveworking efficiency of management staffVSAvoidconvenience of reservation setting

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a remote control system as an intermediary between management staff and spa pool devices. The system uses a data command frame structure that encapsulates reservation parameters (start time, duration, working cycle status) and transmits them remotely to the target devices, enabling staff to perform reservation settings from remote locations without being physically present at the spa pool equipment.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical/local operation mode with an electronic/data-based control system. Instead of requiring physical presence at device control panels, the system substitutes local manual operations with remote data transmission and automated device response, fundamentally changing how reservation settings are made.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If spa pool management manages customer resources only, then the system is simple, but unified time management and reservation arrangements are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveunified time management capabilityVSAvoidcomplexity of reservation management system

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal data command frame structure that can manage multiple types of spa pool devices (heating, filtration, salt electrolysis, etc.) through a single unified interface. The same frame structure and transmission protocol work across different device types, enabling centralized time management for all spa pool resources simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the reservation management functionality into distinct data fields within the command frame (start time field, duration field, working cycle status field). This segmentation allows the system to handle complex multi-device time management by breaking down reservation parameters into manageable, standardized components that can be processed uniformly.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If various service resources are managed separately, then each resource can be controlled independently, but remote reservation setting is not capable and staff convenience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveremote reservation setting capabilityVSAvoidworking efficiency of management staff

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the control interfaces for multiple separately managed service resources into a single remote control system. By consolidating reservation setting capabilities across heating, filtration, salt electrolysis, and other devices into one unified remote access point, staff can manage all resources simultaneously without switching between multiple local control panels.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present application proposes a method and a system for constructing a data command frame for remote reservation control, by setting a first byte representing a reserved working time start point, a second byte representing one-time working duration, a third byte representing the reservation status of a whole working cycle, the whole working cycle is divided into several time units, the third byte includes several bits corresponding to several time units, and assigns the value of each bit to determine whether the time units corresponding to each bit is reserved as working time; then combining the first byte, the second byte and the third byte to construct data command frame, and sending the command frames to device to realize remote control. This method enables remote reservation setting on the management of places like spa pools, which is safer and more convenient for spa management staff, and can greatly improve working efficiency and reduce the probability of error.
