Wearable Device Riding Mode Automation via Bicycle State Notifications
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of shared bicycles face inconvenience due to the need to manually set their wearable devices to riding mode and exit the mode after use, requiring multiple operations.
Innovation Solution
A data transmission method and apparatus that automatically sets a wearable device to riding mode when a shared bicycle is unlocked and exits the mode when the bicycle is locked, using a first terminal to send mode setting instructions to a second terminal based on notification messages received after the bicycle is unlocked or locked.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user manually sets the wearable device to riding mode and exits the mode after use, then the wearable device can accurately record physiological data during riding, but the user needs to perform multiple operations which causes inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic mode switching without user intervention. The first terminal automatically sends mode setting instructions to the second terminal when the bicycle is unlocked or locked, allowing the wearable device to automatically enter and exit riding mode based on bicycle state changes
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the bicycle's locked/unlocked state is detected and automatically triggers corresponding mode changes in the wearable device. The first terminal receives notification messages about bicycle state and automatically sends instructions to the second terminal to adjust its operating mode
2Ease of operation
If the wearable device automatically enters riding mode when the bicycle is unlocked, then user operations are reduced and convenience is enhanced, but the system complexity increases due to automatic mode switching mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The first terminal acts as an intermediary between the bicycle and the wearable device. It receives notification messages about the bicycle's locked/unlocked state and automatically sends mode setting instructions to the second terminal, simplifying the overall system architecture by introducing a coordinating component
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing the automatic mode switching mechanism. When the bicycle is unlocked or locked, the corresponding mode change is automatically triggered without requiring real-time user intervention, streamlining the user experience
Data Source
AI summary
A data transmission method includes receiving, by a first terminal, a first notification message, where the first notification message notifies the first terminal that a target bicycle is in an available state. The method further includes sending, by the first terminal, a mode setting instruction to a second terminal after receiving the first notification message, where the mode setting instruction instructs the second terminal to enter a riding model. The method further includes receiving, by the second terminal, the mode setting instruction from the first terminal, and entering the riding mode.
