Remote Terminal Setting via Screen Capture and Type ID
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for changing terminal device settings are cumbersome due to variations in setting screens and procedures across different devices, making it difficult for users unfamiliar with one device to adjust settings, even if they are familiar with another.
Innovation Solution
A computer system and method that allows a setting terminal to remotely input settings for another terminal by receiving only the screen view, acquiring the terminal type ID, and transmitting specific setting commands based on that ID, enabling settings to be changed without requiring direct input on the target device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user changes settings on a terminal device they are unfamiliar with, then the setting can be changed, but it becomes difficult to change the setting because the setting screen and change procedure vary with the type of terminal device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent captures screenshots of the setting screens and procedures from the setting terminal and transmits them to the target terminal. This allows the target terminal to display and follow the same visual guidance, making the setting process familiar and easy even across different terminal types. The copying of visual information bridges the adaptability gap between different devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a setting terminal as an intermediary device that records the setting procedure and transmits it to the target terminal. This intermediary acts as a bridge, translating the setting process into a transferable format (screenshots and text) that can be universally applied across different terminal types, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and adaptability.
2Ease of manufacture
If tag information associated with terminal device type is used for setting, then setting information can be acquired, but a tag associated with the type of terminal device must be prepared and any setting alone cannot be changed
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of relying on pre-prepared tags for each terminal type, the patent copies the actual setting screens and procedures directly from one terminal to another. This eliminates the need for manual tag preparation and allows any setting to be changed by simply capturing and transmitting the relevant screenshots, reducing system complexity while maintaining ease of setting acquisition.
Solution Approach 2:
The setting terminal automatically captures its own setting screens and procedures without requiring external tag preparation. The system serves itself by generating the necessary guidance materials (screenshots and text) from its own operation, eliminating the need for pre-configured tags and reducing the complexity of the overall setting system.
3Extent of automation
If the setting terminal displays the setting screen and receives input, then the setting can be input, but the setting screen and procedure vary with terminal type making it difficult to use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent captures screenshots of the setting screens from the setting terminal and transmits them to the target terminal for display. This copying of visual information ensures that the target terminal displays the exact same setting interface, making the automated process usable across different terminal types without requiring the user to adapt to different screen layouts or procedures.

AI summary
The present invention is to provide a computer system, and a method and a program for setting that are capable to easily change the setting of a terminal device in order to improve the convenience. The computer system, in which a setting terminal remotely inputs the setting of a terminal to be set if the setting screen or the screen transition of the setting terminal is different from that of the terminal to be set, receives only a screen view for the setting method of the setting terminal without receiving an input of the setting of the setting terminal to receive an input of the setting for the terminal to be set by the setting method of the setting terminal, acquires the terminal type ID of the terminal to be set, and transmits a setting command associated with the setting for the terminal to be set that is viewed by the setting method of the setting terminal to the terminal to be set, based on the terminal type ID.
