Wireless Device Connection Display for Duplicate Device Discovery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless device connection methods duplicate display of the same device in different connection modes, leading to user confusion and reduced experience.
Innovation Solution
A display method that, upon finding a wireless device through multiple connection methods, only displays a single interaction component marked with device information, configured to connect in the highest priority mode, with interfaces optimized to prioritize local-area-network-connections in office scenarios.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all connectable devices are displayed in multiple connection modes, then device discoverability is improved, but user confusion increases due to duplicate displays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple display entries for the same device across different connection modes into a single unified interaction component. This consolidates duplicate device information while preserving multi-mode connectivity capability, thereby reducing user confusion without sacrificing device discoverability.
Solution Approach 2:
The interaction component is designed to represent a device's universal connectivity capability across multiple modes (WiFi, Bluetooth, AP) through a single interface. This multi-functional representation allows users to access all connection modes without seeing duplicate entries, resolving the contradiction between comprehensive display and user clarity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If duplicate interaction components are displayed for the same device, then connection mode options are visible, but interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple interaction components representing the same device in different connection modes are merged into a single interaction component. This reduces interface complexity by eliminating redundant elements while maintaining the ability to present multiple connection mode options through the unified component.
Solution Approach 2:
The interaction component internally segments or organizes the multiple connection modes (WiFi, Bluetooth, AP) as separate connection methods within a single unified interface element. This allows the interface to appear simple from the user's perspective while still providing access to multiple connection options through the segmented internal structure.
3Measurement precision
If manual selection of connection mode is required, then connection accuracy is improved, but operation convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically determining the highest priority connection mode for a device and pre-configuring the interaction component to connect through that mode by default. This eliminates the need for manual mode selection while maintaining connection accuracy, as the highest priority mode is automatically selected without requiring user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The interaction component is configured to automatically handle the connection process by selecting the highest priority connection mode without requiring manual user input. The system serves itself by automatically determining and executing the optimal connection path, thereby maintaining connection accuracy while significantly improving operation convenience.

AI summary
A display method of a wireless device for connection includes, during a wireless device search, in response to a same wireless device being found through different communication methods, only displaying a first interaction component for the wireless device. The first interaction component is marked with device information of the wireless device. The first interaction component is configured, in response to a first interaction signal, to connect with the wireless device in a connection mode with a highest priority.
