Information Terminal Wireless Connection to Sharing Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing meeting systems lack efficient methods for automatic wireless connection between information terminals and sharing devices at meeting locations, leading to user intervention and potential errors in connecting to the correct devices.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes a server, information terminal, and sharing device, where the server manages a meeting table associating location and device information, allowing the terminal to detect sharing devices and initiate a connection process based on scheduled meetings, enabling wireless connection without user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual connection methods are used for wireless devices at meeting locations, then users can connect information terminals to sharing devices, but user effort increases and connection errors may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic wireless connection between information terminals and sharing devices by having the terminal autonomously detect the sharing device and initiate connection based on meeting schedule information, eliminating the need for manual user intervention in the connection process
Solution Approach 2:
The server pre-configures the connection authentication code in the management table before the meeting occurs, and the information terminal retrieves this information in advance to automatically establish connection when arriving at the meeting location, preparing the connection state beforehand
2Ease of operation
If automatic detection and connection is implemented, then user effort is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary that manages the connection authentication codes and coordinates between information terminals and sharing devices, centralizing the complexity in the server while keeping terminal and device operations simple
Solution Approach 2:
The server performs multiple functions including managing meeting schedules, storing connection authentication codes, validating device identities, and coordinating connections, consolidating system complexity into a single multi-functional component
3Reliability
If connection authentication codes are managed manually, then system setup is simple, but connection accuracy and reliability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The connection authentication code is registered and stored in the server's management table in advance before the meeting occurs, ensuring the correct code is available when needed and eliminating manual code entry or selection at connection time
Solution Approach 2:
The server validates the sharing device's identification information against the pre-registered authentication code and provides feedback to determine whether to permit connection, ensuring accurate and reliable connection decisions

AI summary
An information processing system includes a server, an information terminal 4, and a sharing device. If the information terminal determines that a start meeting exists and detects the sharing device, the information terminal transmits predetermined information including identification information of the sharing device detected to the server. Based on the predetermined information and a management table, the server determines whether or not to cause the sharing device to execute a connection process. If the sharing device executes the connection process, the information terminal is wirelessly connected to the sharing device.
