Wireless Device Aggregate User Interface Proximity Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies lack an efficient method to determine and manage an aggregate user interface for wireless devices in proximity to secondary devices, leading to fragmented control and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A wireless device determines proximity to secondary devices and dynamically generates an aggregate user interface, combining operations from nearby devices into a single interface, allowing for seamless control and interaction without manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a wireless device dynamically generates an aggregate user interface by combining operations from multiple secondary devices, then the ease of operation and user experience are improved, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines operations from multiple secondary devices into a single aggregate user interface on the wireless device. This merging approach allows users to control multiple devices through one unified interface, improving ease of operation while the system automatically manages the underlying complexity of integrating multiple device operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The wireless device is designed to perform multiple functions by serving as a universal controller for various secondary devices. The aggregate user interface can display and control operations from different types of devices (audio equipment, video equipment, gaming devices, etc.), making the wireless device multi-functional and reducing the need for separate control devices for each secondary device.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the aggregate user interface combines operations from multiple secondary devices, then the versatility and functionality are improved, but the interface complexity and information management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The aggregate user interface is segmented into distinct sections or categories, grouping operations from different secondary devices in an organized manner. This segmentation allows the interface to present diverse functionality in a structured way, making it easier to navigate and manage while maintaining high versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The aggregate user interface is dynamically generated and can adapt its structure, content, and organization based on which secondary devices are currently active, their operational states, and user interactions. This dynamic nature allows the interface to simplify or reorganize information automatically, managing complexity while preserving versatility.
