Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrical treatment devices lack security measures for wireless communication, risking inappropriate electrical stimulation that could worsen the user's physical condition during recovery or pain alleviation treatments.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device configured to detect and differentiate between registered and unregistered electrical treatment devices via beacon signals, providing notifications and solutions for errors, ensuring secure wireless communication and preventing unauthorized control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wireless communication is implemented between terminal device and electrical treatment device, then ease of operation is improved, but security deteriorates due to risk of unauthorized control
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device performs preliminary verification by detecting beacon signals from electrical treatment devices and checking whether they are registered before allowing control operations. This advance verification prevents unauthorized devices from controlling the electrical treatment device, thereby maintaining security while enabling convenient wireless communication.
2Reliability
If beacon signal detection and device verification are added, then security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The beacon signal serves as an intermediary mechanism that carries identification information from the electrical treatment device to the terminal device. This intermediary allows the terminal device to verify device identity without requiring complex authentication protocols, thereby improving security while minimizing increases in system complexity.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If unauthorized device control is prevented, then harmful factors are reduced, but loss of time occurs due to verification processes
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device performs preliminary verification by detecting beacon signals from electrical treatment devices and checking whether they are registered before allowing control operations. This advance verification prevents unauthorized devices from controlling the electrical treatment device, thereby maintaining security while enabling convenient wireless communication.

AI summary
A terminal device includes: an information storage that stores registration information for establishing a wireless communication connection with an electrical treatment device; a detection unit that detects a beacon signal emitted from the electrical treatment device; a determination unit that determines, on the based on the registration information stored in the information storage unit and the beacon signal detect, whether the electrical treatment device includes an unregistered electrical treatment device. In a case where the unregistered electrical treatment device is included, the determination unit further determines, on the basis of the beacon signal detected, whether the unregistered electrical treatment device includes registration information of a device other than the terminal device. The terminal device further includes a notification unit that provides notification on information including a solution for an error when the electrical treatment device not registered with the terminal device includes the registration information of the device other than terminal device.
