Wireless Intercommunication Group Pairing via Mobile Mediator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless intercommunication systems require inconvenient manipulation for pairing and managing pairing lists across devices, lacking a straightforward method for group pairing without manual intervention.
Innovation Solution
A group pairing method that involves a master mobile device acquiring information on slave devices using QR codes, Bluetooth, or text messages, generating and sorting a pairing list based on chain connection order, and transmitting this information to both master and slave devices for updating and synchronization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual pairing operation is performed between wireless intercommunication devices, then pairing can be established between devices, but the operation becomes inconvenient and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mobile device as an intermediary to manage pairing operations. The mobile device acquires information about slave wireless intercommunication devices, generates a pairing list, and transmits this information to the master wireless intercommunication device. This intermediary approach transfers the complex pairing management task from the wireless intercommunication devices to the mobile device, simplifying the operation for users while maintaining systematic control over the pairing process.
2Ease of operation
If pairing information is managed individually on each wireless intercommunication device, then each device maintains its own pairing list, but the management becomes cumbersome and requires multiple operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the pairing list management function into a centralized location - the mobile device. Instead of managing pairing lists individually on each wireless intercommunication device, the mobile device acquires information from multiple slave devices, generates a unified pairing list, and distributes it to the master device and other slave devices. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate management operations on each device, saving time and simplifying the overall management process.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile device performs preliminary actions by acquiring information about slave wireless intercommunication devices before the actual pairing process. It generates the pairing list in advance and prepares the necessary information for distribution. This preliminary preparation ensures that when pairing is initiated, all necessary information is already organized and ready, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual configuration during the pairing process itself.
3Adaptability or versatility
If wireless intercommunication devices establish chain connection, then multipoint communication is enabled, but the devices need complex manipulation to maintain connection order
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device serves as an intermediary that automatically manages the chain connection configuration. It acquires information about slave devices, determines the appropriate connection order, and transmits this information to the master wireless intercommunication device. This eliminates the need for users to manually configure the chain connection order, enabling multipoint communication while maintaining ease of operation through automated management.
