Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless transmitter and receiver systems lack cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness in their operation and assignment processes, requiring user-operated electric assignment apparatuses for efficient communication and control of operation conditions between tools and apparatuses.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a user-operated, electric assignment apparatus is used to automatically assign wireless transmitters and receivers, allowing them to communicate and control operation conditions without needing a separate assignment apparatus, enabling cost-effective and user-friendly operation by using a single assignment apparatus for multiple transmitters and receivers, and allowing for wireless communication and identification of transmitter and receiver signals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each wireless transmitter and receiver has its own user-operated electric assignment apparatus, then the assignment process is reliable and precise, but the device complexity and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the assignment functionality into a single shared apparatus that can assign multiple transmitters and receivers centrally. Instead of each device having its own assignment apparatus, one central assignment apparatus manages all pairing operations, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining assignment reliability through centralized control.
Solution Approach 2:
The assignment apparatus is designed as a universal device that can assign any transmitter to any receiver within the system. This multi-functional approach allows a single apparatus to handle all assignment operations across multiple device pairs, eliminating the need for dedicated assignment apparatus for each transmitter-receiver pair and significantly reducing system complexity.
2Device complexity
If a single assignment apparatus is used for multiple transmitters and receivers, then the cost and device complexity are reduced, but the ease of operation may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service functionality where transmitters and receivers automatically generate and exchange identification signals when in proximity. The central assignment apparatus simply needs to detect these automatic exchanges and confirm the pairing, eliminating the need for complex manual configuration steps while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The assignment process incorporates feedback mechanisms where the central apparatus receives automatic identification signals from transmitters and receivers, processes the pairing information, and provides confirmation to both devices. This feedback loop simplifies the user interface while ensuring reliable assignment, making the system easy to operate despite the centralized architecture.
3Ease of manufacture
If wireless communication is implemented without assignment apparatus, then cost-effectiveness is improved, but the reliability of device pairing deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The central assignment apparatus serves as an intermediary that facilitates reliable pairing between transmitters and receivers. It receives automatic identification signals from both devices, verifies the pairing request, and establishes the connection. This intermediary role ensures reliable pairing while keeping the transmitters and receivers themselves simple and cost-effective without built-in assignment functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex mechanical or electronic assignment mechanisms within each device with a centralized software-based assignment system. The central apparatus handles all pairing logic through wireless communication and software processing, eliminating the need for expensive hardware assignment modules in each transmitter and receiver, thereby improving cost-effectiveness while maintaining reliability.

AI summary
A method for operating a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver, wherein the wireless transmitter is assigned to a tool and is adapted to detect an operation condition of the tool and to send an operation condition signal as a function of the detected operation condition. The wireless receiver is assigned to an apparatus and is adapted to receive the sent operation condition signal and to control an operation condition of the apparatus as a function of the received operation condition signal. The method assigns the wireless transmitter and the wireless receiver by a user-operated, electric assignment apparatus such that the receiver controls the operation condition of the apparatus as a function of the received operation condition signal. The assignment apparatus is separate from the transmitter and the receiver.
