Service Terminal Parallel Processing via Server Mediation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current NFC and QR code technologies for mobile services, such as payment and ticket pickup, are inefficient as they primarily support point-to-point communication, leading to low processing efficiency, especially during peak hours, causing congestion and poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A service processing method that allows multiple mobile terminals to simultaneously perform services by registering with a server, broadcasting service information, and processing requests in parallel, using a Wi-Fi ultra-short distance mode for secure and efficient communication between mobile terminals and service devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If NFC or QR code technology is used for point-to-point communication, then security and simplicity are maintained, but service processing efficiency deteriorates due to sequential processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the service processing system into multiple electronic devices (service terminals) that can independently handle different user requests simultaneously. Each electronic device maintains independent communication capabilities with mobile terminals, allowing parallel processing of multiple services without sequential queuing, thus resolving the efficiency-time loss contradiction.
2Productivity
If multiple mobile terminals communicate simultaneously with one service device, then service processing efficiency improves, but communication complexity and security management deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that manages communication between multiple electronic devices and mobile terminals. The server handles authentication, service information distribution, and coordination, thereby enabling parallel processing while maintaining system security and managing complexity centrally rather than distributing it across all communication nodes.
3Speed
If broadcast mode is used for service information distribution, then service accessibility and speed improve, but energy consumption and information security deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by allowing electronic devices to adjust broadcast parameters (such as broadcast interval, power level, and target range) based on local conditions including crowd density, service type, and energy availability. This enables optimized energy consumption while maintaining fast information distribution where needed, resolving the speed-energy contradiction through adaptive local control.

AI summary
The method includes: An electronic device registers with a server; broadcasts service information to one or more mobile terminals based on a preset broadcast distance; receives a service subscription request sent by the one or more mobile terminals; sends a first message to the server, where the first message includes the service subscription request, and the first message indicates the server to confirm the service subscription request; and receives a service request sent by the one or more mobile terminals, and sends a second message to the server based on the service request, where the second message indicates the server to perform service processing.
