APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOTE CONTROL OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482542 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOTE CONTROL OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The apparatus described in the patent application allows for remote control of an electronic device using a virtual identification (ID) and location information obtained from another electronic device. The processor encrypts a remote control function request message for the first electronic device and transmits it to the second electronic device, which then processes the request and sends back the result.
- Communication module, memory, and processor included in the apparatus
- Processor obtains key information for a first electronic device
- Receives virtual ID and location information from a second electronic device based on the key information
- Identifies the first electronic device corresponding to the virtual ID
- Encrypts a remote control function request message for the first electronic device using the key information
- Transmits the encrypted message to the second electronic device
- Receives a remote control function request processing result message from the second electronic device
- Obtains the processing result by decrypting the message using the key information
Potential Applications
This technology could be used for remote control of various electronic devices, such as smart home appliances, entertainment systems, or industrial equipment.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of securely and efficiently controlling electronic devices remotely, without the need for physical access to the device itself.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include convenience, enhanced security, and the ability to control multiple devices from a single remote location.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include smart home automation systems, remote monitoring and control solutions for industrial settings, and remote access to electronic devices for healthcare or emergency services.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be remote control systems using virtual IDs and encryption for secure communication between electronic devices.
Unanswered Questions
How does the processor identify the first electronic device corresponding to the virtual ID?
The abstract does not provide specific details on the process of identifying the first electronic device based on the virtual ID. Further information on the algorithm or method used for this identification would be helpful.
What type of encryption algorithm is used to encrypt the remote control function request message?
The abstract mentions that the processor encrypts the message using the key information, but it does not specify the encryption algorithm employed. Understanding the encryption method used could provide insights into the security measures implemented in the apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for remote control of an electronic device is provided. The apparatus includes a communication module, a memory, and a processor. The processor may be configured to obtain key information associated with a first electronic device, receive a virtual identification (ID) and location information based on the key information from a second electronic device, identify the first electronic device corresponding to the virtual ID using the key information, encrypt a remote control function request message for the first electronic device using the key information, transmit the encrypted remote control function request message to the second electronic device, receive, from the second electronic device, a remote control function request processing result message encrypted in the first electronic device, obtain a remote control function request processing result, and other embodiments may be provided by decrypting the encrypted remote control function request processing result message using the key information.
