Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote manipulation devices lack flexibility in controlling multiple appliances without complicating their configuration, as they often rely on a common interface for various appliances, which can lead to security vulnerabilities and increased complexity.
Innovation Solution
A setting device that authenticates and registers identification information for both the manipulation device and the appliance, allowing secure transmission of command information, enabling flexible control while maintaining a simplified configuration by storing and updating identification information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a common interface is used for multiple appliance types, then the manipulation device can control various appliances, but the configuration becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a setting device as an intermediary between the manipulation device and appliances. The setting device manages the complexity by maintaining a database of appliance information and handling the registration process, allowing the manipulation device to remain simple while achieving versatile control across multiple appliance types
Solution Approach 2:
The setting device performs preliminary registration and authentication of manipulation devices and appliances before actual control operations. This preliminary action establishes identification information and authentication results in advance, enabling the manipulation device to control various appliances without complex configuration during operation
2Device complexity
If the manipulation device is simplified to control only one appliance type, then the configuration remains simple, but the control flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves multi-functionality by allowing the manipulation device to control multiple appliance types through a universal interface. The setting device enables this universality by storing authentication results and identification information, allowing the same manipulation device to be registered with different appliances without reconfiguration
Solution Approach 2:
The setting device serves as an intermediary that enables the manipulation device to maintain simplicity while achieving versatility. It handles the complexity of managing multiple appliance types through centralized authentication and identification management
3Ease of operation
If identification information is stored in the manipulation device, then the control operation is simplified, but security vulnerabilities increase
Solution Approach 1:
The setting device acts as a secure intermediary that manages identification information and authentication results. Instead of storing sensitive data in the manipulation device, the setting device maintains secure databases, thereby simplifying operation while enhancing security through centralized authentication management
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts authentication results and identification information management from the manipulation device and places them in the setting device. This extraction removes security vulnerabilities associated with storing sensitive data in the manipulation device while maintaining operational simplicity through the setting device's authentication mechanisms

AI summary
A setting device sets a manipulation device that transmits a wireless signal for controlling an appliance when the manipulation device accepts manipulation from a manipulator. An input unit receives first identification information, second identification information, and registration information. An authentication unit performs an authentication process on the registration information received. An output unit outputs a combination of the first identification information and the second identification information received when the authentication process is successful. The wireless signal transmitted from the manipulation device includes the first identification information, the second identification information, and command information.
