UWB External Device Selection with Dynamic Positioning Angle
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices face difficulties in selecting a desired external device due to fixed angle or distance ranges in UWB communication, leading to incorrect device selection when the user is unaware of the UWB antenna's location.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor that performs UWB communication, retrieves external devices within a perceivable range, determines if configured conditions are met regarding angle, number, or distance, and adjusts the positioning angle dynamically to select the desired device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a fixed angle range or fixed distance range is used for selecting external devices, then the device selection process is simple, but the accuracy of selecting the desired external device deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the positioning angle based on user interaction. The angle is not fixed but varies according to the number of times the user selects an external device. When the same external device is selected multiple times, the positioning angle is adjusted to increase the probability of selecting the desired device, transforming a static selection process into a dynamic adaptive one.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of positioning angle dynamically during the selection process. The angle parameter is modified based on selection history and user behavior patterns, allowing the system to adapt to user preferences and improve selection accuracy over time without changing the fundamental selection mechanism.
2Device complexity
If the positioning angle is fixed, then the UWB communication system is simple to implement, but the ability to select the correct external device deteriorates when the user is unaware of antenna location
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-adjustment by automatically modifying the positioning angle based on selection patterns without requiring user intervention or knowledge of antenna location. The system learns from user behavior and autonomously optimizes the selection process, making the complexity hidden from the user while improving reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system monitors which external devices are selected and uses this information to adjust the positioning angle for subsequent selections. This closed-loop feedback allows the system to improve its performance based on actual usage patterns while maintaining a simple user interface.
