Solution Overview

Problem

Establishing a wireless network between electronic devices of different types is cumbersome and requires significant user interaction, especially when the first-type electronic devices change between sessions, such as when a police officer switches between body-worn cameras during work shifts.

Innovation Solution

A method where a service server receives user-ID data, retrieves a unique network configuration associated with the user-ID, selects an appropriate first-type electronic device, and sends this configuration to establish a wireless network, allowing the second-type device to connect without needing to know the specific first-type device, facilitating user-ID specific network connections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual configuration is used to establish wireless network connections between electronic devices, then connection reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates and time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidease of connection

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic connection establishment where the service server autonomously retrieves network configurations, selects appropriate first-type electronic devices, and initiates wireless network setup without requiring user intervention. The second-type electronic device automatically connects to the established network, eliminating manual configuration steps while maintaining connection reliability through server-managed configuration retrieval.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The service server acts as an intermediary between the second-type electronic device and the first-type electronic devices. It manages the complex tasks of retrieving unique network configurations, selecting appropriate devices from the set, and establishing wireless network connections, thereby simplifying the user experience while ensuring reliable connections through centralized control.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If manual configuration is used to establish wireless network connections, then connection stability is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidconnection setup time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The service server retrieves unique network configurations from the database in advance before the actual connection is needed. By preparing the network configuration data beforehand and having it ready when a connection request occurs, the system minimizes connection setup time while ensuring stable connections through pre-validated configurations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system supports multiple first-type electronic devices interchangeably, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice interchangeabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The service server provides a universal interface for connecting second-type electronic devices to any first-type electronic device from the set. The system manages multiple devices through a single centralized service that retrieves appropriate configurations based on the selected first-type device, enabling versatile device interchangeability without requiring complex configuration management at the user level.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Ease of operation

If automatic connection establishment is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveautomation levelVSAvoidconfiguration accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The service server implements feedback mechanisms by retrieving unique network configurations from the database that are specifically associated with each first-type electronic device. The system verifies and manages the configuration data flow from the database through the server to the connected devices, ensuring configuration accuracy is maintained through centralized control and validation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method is described for initiating a wireless network to connect an electronic device among a set of first-type electronic devices with a second-type electronic device. The method comprising: receiving, at a service server configured to service the set of first-type electronic devices, data pertaining to a user-id; retrieving, from a database, a unique network configuration associated with the user-id, wherein the unique network configuration is known beforehand by the second-type electronic device; selecting, at the service server, an electronic device among the set of first-type electronic devices; and sending, to the selected electronic device, the unique network configuration associated with the user-id for allowing the selected electronic device to initiate a wireless network using the unique network configuration associated with the user-id.
