Solution Overview

Problem

When multiple wearable devices are connected to a mobile phone, there is no effective method to determine which device should receive information push notifications, leading to inefficiencies in resource utilization and user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine the service type of received information and the working status of connected wearable devices, using a preset terminal service type table and terminal status table, to select a target terminal for information push based on specific rules, ensuring the device is capable and in an appropriate state to receive the information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wearable devices are connected to a mobile phone, then the user can access information through multiple devices, but it becomes difficult to determine which device should receive information push notifications, leading to inefficient resource utilization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-device connectivityVSAvoidinformation push efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the selection parameters by evaluating multiple attributes of wearable devices including working status (interactive/non-interactive), service type compatibility, and device capabilities. This multi-parameter evaluation enables intelligent selection of the most appropriate target device for information push, resolving the contradiction between supporting multiple devices and maintaining efficient information delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile phone receives feedback information about the working status and service types of connected wearable devices, then uses this feedback to dynamically select the most suitable target device for information push. This feedback mechanism ensures that information is delivered efficiently to the appropriate device based on real-time system state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wearable devices are connected to a mobile phone, then users have more access points for information, but resource utilization of the devices becomes inefficient without a clear selection mechanism

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice connectivityVSAvoiddevice resource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system evaluates and changes the selection criteria by considering working status parameters (interactive vs. non-interactive states) and service type compatibility parameters. This enables the system to direct information push to devices that are most capable and appropriate, avoiding wasted resources on unsuitable devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The wearable devices provide self-information about their working status and service capabilities to the mobile phone, enabling the phone to autonomously select the most appropriate target device. This self-service approach eliminates the need for manual configuration and optimizes resource utilization automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wearable devices are connected to a mobile phone, then users can interact with information through different devices, but the user experience of information push deteriorates without a clear selection rule

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-device supportVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts selection parameters based on device working status and service type compatibility to optimize user experience. By considering whether a device is in interactive or non-interactive state and whether it supports the required service type, the system ensures information is delivered to the most appropriate device, enhancing ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile phone uses feedback information about device working status and service capabilities to automatically select the most suitable target for information push. This feedback-driven selection eliminates user intervention and ensures optimal delivery, significantly improving user experience while maintaining multi-device support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
