Wireless Probe Thermometer Pairing via Mobile Terminal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless probe thermometers lack flexibility in pairing, requiring users to purchase a whole set when replacing a broken temperature probe, leading to increased costs and environmental impact.
Innovation Solution
A pairing method and system that allows users to pair a new wireless temperature probe with a charging box independently, using a mobile terminal to establish communication, send pairing commands, and confirm the target probe through broadcast signals and signal strength analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If pairing is completed at the factory, then the connection stability between wireless probe thermometer and charging box is improved, but the pairing flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service pairing where the user's mobile terminal automatically establishes communication with the charging box and completes the pairing process without requiring factory pre-pairing. The mobile terminal sends pairing mode start commands and automatically confirms target probes through broadcast signal analysis, allowing users to independently pair probes with charging boxes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring the charging box to accept pairing commands and pre-establishing the communication protocol framework. The mobile terminal application is pre-configured to automatically initiate pairing sequences and analyze broadcast signals, so that when a user wants to pair a probe, the entire pairing infrastructure is already in place and ready to execute immediately.
2Quantity of substance
If a new temperature probe is purchased individually, then the cost is reduced, but the pairing capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The charging box is designed with universal pairing capability that can work with any wireless temperature probe following the same communication protocol. The mobile terminal application provides multi-functional support for pairing, searching, and connecting different probes with the charging box, making the system compatible across different probe units and enabling individual probe replacement without requiring a complete set purchase.
3Length of moving object
If the charging box serves as a wireless distance expander, then the communication range is extended, but the pairing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal acts as an intermediary device that simplifies the pairing process between the charging box and wireless temperature probe. Instead of requiring direct complex pairing between the probe and charging box over extended wireless distances, the mobile terminal mediates the connection by establishing communication with the charging box, sending pairing commands, and automatically confirming target probes through broadcast signal analysis, thereby reducing pairing complexity while maintaining extended communication range.

AI summary
Provided are pairing method, system of wireless probe thermometer, and computer readable storage medium. The method includes that the mobile terminal sends pairing mode start command to charging box; the charging box receives the pairing mode start command, and enters the pairing mode according to the command; the wireless temperature probe to be paired sends broadcast signal; the charging box or the mobile terminal acquires the broadcast information of the wireless temperature probe, determines whether the scanned device exists the wireless temperature probe to be paired according to the acquired broadcast signal, and if it exists, determines whether it is in the pairable state according to the acquired broadcast signal; the mobile terminal or the charging box confirms the target wireless temperature probe from the wireless temperature probe to be paired in the pairable state, and controls the charging box to be paired with the target wireless temperature probe.
