Solution Overview

Problem

Existing two-way screen sharing services require a cumbersome two-way pairing process, necessitating users to input a pin code twice, which is inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A wireless device generates a second pin code upon completing one-way pairing and sends a pairing request command to the external device, enabling automatic two-way pairing without the need for additional user input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a two-way pairing process is implemented for screen sharing between devices, then secure connection establishment is improved, but user operation complexity increases and pairing time is extended

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection securityVSAvoidpairing operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary pairing actions by having the first device generate and transmit a first pin code to the second device before actual screen sharing begins. This preliminary authentication establishes a trusted relationship that enables subsequent automatic pairing, reducing the need for repeated manual pin code entry while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The second device automatically generates a second pin code and initiates its own pairing request to the first device without requiring user intervention. This self-service mechanism allows the second device to autonomously complete the mutual authentication process, eliminating the need for users to manually input pin codes twice while ensuring secure connection establishment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If automatic pin code generation and transmission is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepairing process simplicityVSAvoidpairing mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the pin code generation, transmission, and verification functions into an integrated automatic pairing mechanism. The first device generates and transmits the first pin code, while the second device generates and transmits the second pin code, merging multiple authentication steps into a seamless automatic process that reduces user burden despite increased internal system coordination requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The pin codes serve as intermediaries that facilitate automatic authentication between devices. By using generated pin codes as mediators, the system enables automatic verification and pairing without requiring direct user intervention, simplifying the user experience while managing complexity through standardized authentication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
