Terminal Device Directional Signal Control Method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of controlling multiple electronic devices using a mobile phone is high due to the need for users to manually search and select application programs, leading to a compromised user experience, as each device typically requires a separate application program and icon navigation.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device control method that uses directional signals to establish a transmission channel with the device, allowing the terminal device to automatically identify and start the corresponding application program based on a controlled device identifier, reducing the need for manual icon searching and improving control efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If one electronic device corresponds to one application program and users manually search for icons, then device control capability is comprehensive, but user operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device automatically identifies the electronic device through directional signal detection and automatically starts the corresponding application program, eliminating the need for users to manually search through multiple icons. The system serves itself by autonomously completing the device identification and application selection process.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device pre-detects and identifies electronic devices in the environment before user interaction is required. By performing the device identification and application program selection in advance, the system prepares the control interface ready for immediate user interaction without requiring manual searching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple application programs are installed to control different electronic devices, then device compatibility is improved, but the number of operations required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device automatically identifies the target electronic device through directional signal detection and autonomously selects and starts the corresponding application program from its installed applications, eliminating the time users would spend manually searching through multiple application icons.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the electronic device's response signal to the terminal device's directional signal to identify the target device and determine which application program should be started, creating a closed-loop identification and selection process.
3Reliability
If users need to unlock screen, switch desktop, and search for icons to control an electronic device, then security and application organization are maintained, but the control process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device performs preliminary detection of electronic devices and pre-loads or prepares the corresponding application programs before user interaction is needed, so that when the user wants to control a device, the application is already ready to start without requiring manual navigation through multiple screens and icons.

AI summary
A terminal device sends a directional signal in a direction in which a to-be-controlled device is located, the to-be-controlled device establishes a transmission channel between the to-be-controlled device and the terminal device according to the directional signal, the to-be-controlled device returns a response signal to the terminal device after receiving the directional signal, and the terminal device controls, according to the response signal, an application program corresponding to the to-be-controlled device to start. A user may use the terminal device to transmit a directional signal in a direction, so that a device in the direction returns a corresponding response signal to the terminal device, and the terminal device can start a corresponding application program according to the response signal. In this way, a process in which the user uses the terminal device to control the to-be-controlled device, and searches for an application program of the to-be-controlled device is simple, and many application programs do not need to be searched one by one for the required application program. Therefore, an operation is simple.
