Universal Identifier Server for Cross-Account IoT Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for remote control of intelligent devices require bulk account registration across identical account systems, limiting control capabilities across different account systems.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a universal identifier server to map third-party accounts and device identifiers to unified universal identifiers, enabling communication between control terminals and controlled devices through an instant messaging server without the need for bulk account registration, using third-party tokens and universal identifier tokens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If bulk account registration is used in identical account systems, then control terminals and controlled devices can communicate through the instant messaging server, but the system cannot control devices under different account systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a universal identifier server as an intermediary component between the instant messaging server and controlled devices. This server generates universal identifiers that can map across different account systems, enabling the control terminal to communicate with devices regardless of which account system they belong to. The universal identifier server acts as a mediator that translates between different account system identifiers and the instant messaging server's identifier requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If account passwords are assigned in bulk to control terminals and controlled devices, then instant messaging authorization is achieved, but the method cannot realize control of devices under different account systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the universal identifier server pre-generate universal identifiers and establish mapping relationships between different account systems before actual control operations are needed. The server proactively creates the identification framework that enables cross-account system communication, eliminating the need for time-consuming bulk account registration when devices are added to the control system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a universal identifier server is introduced to map third-party accounts, then cross-account system control is enabled, but the system architecture becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The universal identifier server is designed with multi-functionality to justify its addition to the system architecture. It simultaneously performs multiple functions: generating universal identifiers, mapping third-party account information, managing identifier-token relationships, and enabling cross-account system communication. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single server, the patent reduces overall system complexity compared to implementing separate specialized services for each function.
Data Source
AI summary
A method, apparatus and system for remote control of intelligent device are disclosed. The method comprises: sending account information to a third-party server in response to receiving the account information input by a user; sending a third-party server identifier and a third-party token to a universal identifier server in response to receiving the third-party token sent by the third-party server; receiving a control terminal universal identifier, a control terminal instant messaging token and a controlled device universal identifier list sent by the universal identifier server, and presenting the controlled device universal identifier list; receiving a control instruction input by the user in response to receiving a controlled device selection operation of the user on a controlled device universal identifier in the presented controlled device universal identifier list; and sending a target controlled device universal identifier, the control instruction and the control terminal instant messaging token to an instant messaging server.
