Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems require manual input of serial numbers or recognition codes, which compromises privacy and is cumbersome, especially when errors occur.

Innovation Solution

A key recognition method where the wireless bridging apparatus transmits an original code to the terminal apparatus, which encodes it to generate a recognition code for automatic verification, eliminating the need for manual input and enhancing privacy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual input of serial number or recognition code is required, then verification security is maintained, but user operation complexity increases and privacy is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogin process simplicityVSAvoidprivacy exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal apparatus automatically generates the recognition code by encoding the original code received from the wireless bridging apparatus, eliminating the need for manual user input. The system performs the encoding operation itself, making the process self-service and avoiding exposure of sensitive serial numbers or verification codes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

An original code is introduced as an intermediary element between the serial number and the final recognition code. The terminal apparatus receives this original code, encodes it to generate a transformed code, then encodes both to produce the recognition code. This intermediary mechanism prevents direct exposure of sensitive information while maintaining verification security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If manual input procedures are used, then verification accuracy is ensured, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogin speedVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless bridging apparatus pre-generates and transmits the original code to the terminal apparatus before the actual login process. This preliminary action allows the terminal apparatus to automatically generate the recognition code without requiring users to manually input lengthy serial numbers during the login process, significantly reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal apparatus automatically performs the encoding operations to generate the recognition code without user intervention. This self-service mechanism eliminates the time users would spend on manual input and error correction, accelerating the login process while maintaining verification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If serial number is transmitted and displayed, then device identification is achieved, but security and privacy are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice identification accuracyVSAvoidinformation exposure risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The original code serves as a safe intermediary that carries device identification information without exposing sensitive serial numbers. The terminal apparatus encodes this original code to generate the recognition code, ensuring that device identification is maintained while the harmful exposure of sensitive information is prevented through the encoding transformation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of transmitting and displaying the actual serial number, the system transmits a copied and transformed version (the original code) that can be encoded into the recognition code. This copying mechanism allows device identification to occur while the original sensitive information remains protected and is never exposed during the login process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A key recognition method and a key recognition system are applied to a wireless bridging apparatus and a terminal apparatus with a wireless communication function. When a user uses the wireless bridging apparatus at a first time, the user cannot connect the wireless bridging apparatus to a wireless network through the terminal apparatus until key verification between the terminal apparatus and the wireless bridging apparatus has been conducted and passed. The key recognition method includes the steps of: transmitting, by the wireless bridging apparatus, an original code to the terminal apparatus; encoding, by the terminal apparatus, the original code to obtain a transformed code; encoding, by the terminal apparatus, the original code and the transformed code to obtain a recognition code; and transmitting, by the terminal apparatus, the recognition code to the wireless bridging apparatus for verification and communication establishment.
