Wearable One-Way SSID Beacon for Multi-Device Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable devices face inefficiencies in communicating with multiple smart devices due to the need for frequent disconnection and reconnection, and existing solutions like smart watches are costly and power-intensive, with complex UI and UX requirements, and are prone to hacking due to their two-way communication nature.
Innovation Solution
An electronic wearable device equipped with a generator circuit and transmitter unit that generates and transmits one-way Service Set Identifier (SSID) communication signals via Wi-Fi, allowing simultaneous control of multiple smart devices without establishing connections, using SSID signals as inputs for software, applications, and programs, and featuring a simple design to reduce power consumption and security risks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wearable devices use traditional two-way communication with multiple smart devices, then communication capability is improved, but security risk increases due to hacking vulnerabilities and device complexity increases due to frequent connection management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional two-way communication model by implementing one-way SSID beacon transmission from the wearable device to smart devices. Instead of the wearable device actively connecting and being connected to multiple devices, it broadcasts SSID beacons that devices can independently detect and use, reversing the connection initiation direction and eliminating complex connection management
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the essential communication function from complex two-way protocols and reduces it to simple one-way SSID beacon transmission. By taking out only the necessary advertisement and control functions while removing authentication and response mechanisms, the system achieves communication capability with minimal complexity
2Ease of operation
If smart watches use full screen high graphic touch screen display, then user interface capability is improved, but battery power consumption increases and manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces expensive smart watch components with simpler, lower-cost alternatives. Instead of using a full-screen high-graphic touch display with complex processing, it employs basic display capabilities combined with SSID beacon technology, achieving communication functionality with significantly reduced hardware requirements, manufacturing cost, and power consumption
3Adaptability or versatility
If wearable devices establish connections with multiple smart devices, then communication versatility is improved, but power consumption increases due to frequent disconnection and reconnection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous one-way SSID beacon transmission from the wearable device without interruption for connection establishment or reconnection. The beacon continuously advertises the device's presence and capabilities, allowing smart devices to maintain continuous access without triggering power-intensive connection and disconnection cycles, thereby achieving communication versatility with minimal power consumption
