Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile communication systems lack efficient methods to execute predefined functions based on electronic tag information, limiting the ability to automatically perform tasks or provide services when an electronic tag is detected.

Innovation Solution

An end device and server system that reads electronic tag information, matches it with predefined functions or services, and performs the associated action, allowing for automatic execution of functions or service provision when a corresponding tag is detected within a predetermined range.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If manual operation is used to execute functions based on electronic tag information, then the system is simple to implement, but the automation level and user interaction efficiency are low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic function executionVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-registers multiple predefined functions with the end device before actual use. When an electronic tag is detected, the system automatically selects and executes the corresponding pre-registered function without requiring manual user configuration or input, thereby achieving automatic function execution while keeping the runtime system relatively simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The end device automatically performs function selection and execution based on the detected electronic tag information. The system serves itself by autonomously matching the tag with predefined functions and executing the appropriate action without external intervention, enhancing automation while maintaining operational simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Speed

If predefined functions are stored locally in the end device, then the execution speed is fast, but the device memory requirements and storage complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction execution speedVSAvoidmemory storage
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and stores only the essential function identification information and correspondence relationships in the end device's memory, rather than storing complete function implementations. The actual function execution can be performed by the device's existing capabilities or by calling external services, thereby reducing memory storage requirements while maintaining fast execution speed through local matching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system supports multiple predefined functions, then the versatility and adaptability improve, but the device complexity and processing overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction varietyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the function management into two parts: a compact local registry that stores only function identification and correspondence information in the end device, and the actual function implementations that can be executed using existing device capabilities or external services. This segmentation allows support for multiple diverse functions while keeping the end device's processing complexity low

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The end device is designed with a universal function execution framework that can handle multiple different predefined functions through a common matching and selection mechanism. By using a unified approach to function registration, matching, and execution, the system achieves high versatility without proportionally increasing processing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
