Solution Overview

Problem

Existing application terminals require manual adjustment of working modes, lacking automation and intelligence in mode switching, which affects user experience and security.

Innovation Solution

A method for controlling application terminals that automatically switches working modes based on target information, including terminal form, networking mode, and running function, without manual participation, using sensors and communication protocols to determine and adjust modes such as privacy protection and networking configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If manual adjustment of working modes is implemented, then users can control terminal functions, but automation level remains low and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation levelVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects user presence through sensors (camera, microphone, motion sensors) and autonomously switches between privacy protection mode and normal mode without requiring manual user input. The terminal serves itself by making intelligent decisions based on environmental cues, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust working modes while maintaining excellent user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors environmental feedback through sensors (detecting user presence, motion, audio signals) and dynamically adjusts working modes based on this feedback. When users are detected present, the system switches to normal mode for full functionality; when absent, it transitions to privacy protection mode, creating a closed-loop automatic control system that resolves the contradiction between automation and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If privacy protection mode is activated, then security is improved, but networking functionality is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidnetworking functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts networking functionality based on detected user presence. In privacy protection mode (when users are absent), networking is restricted to protect security. When users are detected present through sensors, the system dynamically switches to normal mode, restoring full networking functionality including video streaming, remote control, and cloud connectivity. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making networking versatility conditional on security requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A method for controlling an application terminal, and an application terminal, a storage medium and a camera. The method for controlling an application terminal comprises: when a working mode of an application terminal is a first mode, acquiring target information; determining, on the basis of the target information, whether the working mode of the application terminal meets a preset switching condition; and if the working mode of the application terminal meets the preset switching condition, controlling the working mode of the application terminal to switch from the first mode to a second mode, which is different from the first mode, wherein the working mode comprises any one or more of a terminal form, a networking manner and a running function.
