Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices require multiple password entries to start or wake up, which is inconvenient and may lead to unauthorized access due to the lack of an efficient automatic login mechanism.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a wireless receiver and an embedded controller that compares identification data from a wireless signal with stored valid data to automatically log in to the operating system, preventing unauthorized access and enabling automatic login.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If automatic login mechanism is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but security may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an identification component as an intermediary between the user and the login system. This component stores identification data that is compared with valid data before allowing automatic login, thus maintaining security while enabling convenient automatic access. The intermediary verification mechanism ensures that automatic login does not compromise security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple password entries are required, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by storing valid identification data in advance within the embedded controller before the login process is needed. When the device needs to start or wake up, the system automatically compares the identification data from the identification component with the pre-stored valid data, eliminating the need for multiple manual password entries while maintaining security through pre-verified authentication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If automatic login is enabled, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing the embedded controller to perform multiple functions: storing valid identification data, comparing identification data, and controlling the login process. The wireless receiver also serves dual purposes by both receiving wireless signals and enabling the automatic login mechanism. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while achieving automatic login and improved productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A method of starting an electronic device includes: receiving a first wireless signal carrying a first identification data by a wireless receiver before the electronic device enters a normal operating state; comparing the first identification data with a valid data; obtaining an account name and a password according to the first identification data if the first identification data matches the valid data and logging in to an operating system with the account name and the password so as to allow the electronic device to enter the normal operating state; and not logging in to the operating system if the first identification data does not match the valid data.
