Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems require manual reconfiguration of wireless settings when a device is changed during a meeting, causing inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a management server, RFID tag readers, and communication terminals to automatically associate device information with location information, enabling wireless connection without manual setting changes by transmitting device-specific connection information to the terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual setting configuration is used for wireless connection, then connection establishment is possible, but operation convenience deteriorates when devices are changed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically reading device information from RFID tags when devices are brought into the meeting room, and pre-configures the necessary wireless connection settings in advance through the server apparatus, eliminating the need for manual reconfiguration when devices are changed
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the meeting device to automatically transmit its identification information via RFID tag, and the terminal device to automatically receive and process connection information through the server, without requiring manual intervention for setting changes
2Adaptability or versatility
If device information is manually managed, then connection control is possible, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server apparatus acts as an intermediary between the RFID reading apparatus and the terminal device, automatically managing the association between device information and terminal devices, thereby simplifying the overall system complexity while enabling flexible device changes
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual mechanical configuration processes with automated electronic information reading and processing using RFID technology and server-based data management, reducing system complexity while improving adaptability
