Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In smart home scenarios, the download information of device management applications is inflexibly maintained within device tags, making it difficult to update or retrieve real-time information, leading to inefficiencies in application management.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a server maintains and provides download information for device management applications, allowing devices to request and obtain the necessary information based on identification and capability data, eliminating the need for fixed tag storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If download information is stored in device tags, then the structure is simple and easy to implement, but the information cannot be flexibly maintained and updated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the device tag and the download information. The tag contains only identification information, while the server stores and manages the actual download information. This mediator enables flexible updates and maintenance of download information without changing the simple tag structure, resolving the contradiction between implementation simplicity and information maintenance flexibility.
2Reliability
If download information is fixed in device tags, then the system is stable and reliable, but real-time updates and modifications are difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static storage structure into a dynamic one. The server maintains a dynamic mapping between device identification information and download information, allowing real-time updates. When download information needs to be updated, the server can modify the mapping without affecting the stability of the tag structure, thus achieving both reliability and update efficiency.
3Device complexity
If device tags store all necessary information, then the system complexity is reduced, but the capacity to store and manage information is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information storage function into two parts: the device tag stores only lightweight identification information, while the server stores the comprehensive download information. This segmentation allows the tag to remain simple and the system to maintain high information storage capacity through the server's database, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and information capacity.

AI summary
Implementations of this application provide a method and a system for obtaining download information of an application, a method for providing download information of an application, a server, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method for obtaining download information of an application includes: A first device reads tag data of a second device. A second server receives a first request. The first request carries identification information of the second device and application supporting capability information of the first device. The identification information is associated with the tag data. The first request is used for obtaining download information of a device management application from the second server. The second server determines the device management application based on the identification information and the application supporting capability information of the first device. The second server sends a first request response. The first request response carries the download information of the device management application. The first device obtains at least the download information of the device management application sent by the second server. According to this application, a problem of inflexible maintenance of application download information can be resolved.
