Universal Communication Platform for Secure Multi-Platform Channel Deactivation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in quickly and securely deactivating control channels between individual communication platforms and groups of target devices, especially when unauthorized access occurs, due to the need to log in separately to multiple platforms with different protocols and credentials, which is time-consuming and potentially impossible without knowledge of credentials.
Innovation Solution
A method and communication system that allows a user to deactivate control channels by transmitting a single deactivation command from a second terminal device to a universal communication platform, which converts the command to be understood by individual communication platforms, ensuring secure deactivation with a predefined password and confirmation process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a user logs in separately to multiple individual communication platforms to deactivate control channels, then each platform can be deactivated securely, but the process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a universal communication platform that can manage multiple individual communication platforms through a single interface. This universal platform enables users to deactivate control channels across multiple manufacturers' platforms simultaneously, eliminating the need to log in separately to each platform while maintaining security through centralized authentication and command distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The universal communication platform acts as an intermediary between the user and multiple individual communication platforms. It receives deactivation commands from the user, translates them into platform-specific protocols, and distributes them to the appropriate individual platforms. This mediator approach simplifies the user's interaction while ensuring secure and accurate deactivation across all platforms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a user logs in separately to multiple individual communication platforms with different protocols and credentials, then each platform can be accessed, but the process becomes impossible without knowledge of each platform's credentials
Solution Approach 1:
The universal communication platform provides a single point of access that supports multiple individual communication platforms with different protocols and authentication methods. Users only need one set of credentials to access and manage control channels across all connected platforms, eliminating the need to remember multiple platform-specific credentials while maintaining broad compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The universal platform serves as an intermediary that handles protocol translation and authentication management between the user and various individual platforms. It manages the complexity of different credentials and protocols internally, presenting a simplified interface to users while ensuring proper authentication and communication with each specific platform.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If control channels remain active across multiple platforms, then continuous control of target devices is maintained, but security risks increase when unauthorized access occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The universal communication platform acts as a centralized intermediary that monitors and manages control channel status across all individual platforms. When unauthorized access is detected or suspected, the user can issue a single deactivation command through the universal platform, which then systematically closes control channels on all connected individual platforms, quickly eliminating security risks while maintaining normal operation during authorized use.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to pre-configure emergency deactivation capabilities through the universal platform, allowing rapid response to security threats. The universal platform maintains readiness to immediately deactivate control channels across all platforms when needed, providing a pre-established security mechanism that can be activated quickly without requiring separate actions for each platform.

AI summary
A method for deactivating control channels between individual communication platforms and groups of target devices. A first control channel is realized by a first individual communication platform to a first group of target devices. A second control channel is realized by a second individual communication platform to a second group of target devices. A user can control the first group of target devices before deactivation of the control channels via a first terminal device, a universal communication platform, and the first control channel, and can control the second group of target devices via the first terminal device, the universal communication platform, and the second control channel. The user deactivate the first and second control channels by transmitting a single deactivation command from a second terminal device to the universal communication platform. The universal communication platform transmits a suitable deactivation command so that the deactivation command is understood.
