Smart Client Micro-Link for Cross-Network TV Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current smart device control technologies are limited by their inability to implement remote control across different networks, leading to restricted multi-screen interaction, inefficient video content provision, and complex development processes, especially for devices like smart TVs, which require constant network switching and lack intuitive control mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a micro-link application on a client device allows for remote control of smart devices via a smart client, enabling video-on-demand services by separating control from video supply, using a JoyLink protocol for communication between the client, smart server, and multimedia server, facilitating interaction and management across various networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If remote control across different networks is implemented, then multi-screen interaction capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that mediates communication between the client device and smart device across different networks. The server receives control instructions from the client, retrieves device information, and forwards commands to the target smart device, thereby enabling cross-network remote control without directly increasing client device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into distinct functional modules: client device for initiating control, server for coordination and information management, and smart device for execution. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while enabling versatile multi-screen interaction.
2Productivity
If video content provision is separated from control, then content provision efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system separates control functions (handled by the client device and server) from video content provision (handled by the multimedia server and smart device). This segmentation allows control operations to be processed independently from content delivery, improving content provision efficiency while distributing system complexity across multiple specialized components.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that manages control instructions separately from content delivery. It coordinates between the client, multimedia server, and smart device, allowing video content provision to proceed efficiently through dedicated content delivery channels while control operations are handled through the mediation layer.
3Ease of manufacture
If development process is simplified, then ease of manufacture is improved, but functionality may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The server is designed as a universal platform that handles multiple functions including control instruction management, device information retrieval, and coordination across different network types. This multi-functionality allows the system to maintain rich functionality while simplifying the development process, as the server provides a centralized management layer that reduces the need for complex client-side implementation.
