Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional household electrical appliances lack advanced control mechanisms, failing to meet user requirements for efficient and integrated management of smart home devices, which is addressed by enabling customizable scene modes for intelligent devices through a method that establishes automatic linkage control between various devices based on user-defined settings and state parameters.
Innovation Solution
The method involves obtaining device information, generating and pushing lists of starting conditions and execution tasks to user accounts, allowing users to select and establish scene modes that configure relationships between intelligent devices for automatic control, using a server to manage and execute these settings based on device type and state parameters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional household electrical appliances are controlled through touch buttons or infrared remote controllers, then the control mechanism is simple, but it fails to meet user requirements for efficient and integrated management of smart home devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control system into multiple independent modules: scene mode setting module, device information obtaining module, list generation module, and scene mode execution module. Each module handles specific functions, allowing the system to achieve integrated management capability while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The scene mode control system serves multiple functions: it can set up automated scenes, manage device information, generate condition lists, execute control tasks, and adapt to different user needs. This multi-functional approach enables efficient integrated management of smart home devices without requiring separate control mechanisms for each function.
2Ease of operation
If scene modes are customized with multiple device linkages and automated control, then user convenience is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring scene modes with device linkages and control rules. Users can set up automated control scenarios in advance, and the system automatically executes these pre-configured scenes when conditions are met, eliminating the need for users to manually control each device and simplifying operation despite the underlying system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The automated control system operates autonomously once configured, with devices automatically triggering and executing scene modes based on preset conditions. The system serves itself by automatically managing device coordination and control execution without requiring continuous user intervention, thereby improving convenience while the complexity is contained within the automated framework.
3Productivity
If automatic linkage control is established between devices, then productivity of smart home management is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes feedback loops where device states are continuously monitored, automatically triggering appropriate scene modes when conditions are met. This feedback mechanism enables efficient automated management by having the system respond dynamically to device states, improving productivity while the complexity is managed through structured feedback processing rather than ad-hoc control logic.
