SETTING CONTENT CHANGING METHOD OF TERMINAL DEVICE, SETTING CONTENT CHANGING SYSTEM, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106702 titled 'SETTING CONTENT CHANGING METHOD OF TERMINAL DEVICE, SETTING CONTENT CHANGING SYSTEM, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system where a first terminal apparatus can easily select and change the settings of a second terminal apparatus by acquiring identification information and reference information, then transmitting a setting change request to an external apparatus. The second terminal apparatus receives the setting change content from the external apparatus and updates its settings accordingly.

• Explanation of the patent/innovation:

- First terminal apparatus acquires identification information and reference information of second terminal apparatus - First terminal apparatus sends setting change request to external apparatus with acquired information - External apparatus sends setting change content to second terminal apparatus - Second terminal apparatus updates its settings based on the received setting change content

Potential applications of this technology

This technology could be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, IT, and home automation for remote management and configuration of devices.

Problems solved by this technology

This technology solves the problem of easily changing settings on a terminal apparatus without the need for manual intervention or complex procedures.

Benefits of this technology

- Simplifies the process of changing settings on terminal apparatus - Enables remote management and configuration of devices - Increases efficiency and convenience for users

Potential commercial applications of this technology

"Remote Setting Change System for Terminal Apparatuses" could be utilized in industries such as telecommunications, IT services, and smart home automation for offering remote management solutions.

Possible prior art

One possible prior art could be remote control systems for electronic devices that allow users to change settings and configurations from a distance.

How does the system ensure the security and privacy of the setting change requests and content being transmitted between the terminal apparatuses and the external apparatus?

The system may use encryption protocols and secure communication channels to protect the data being exchanged.

What happens if the external apparatus is offline or unavailable when the setting change request is sent by the first terminal apparatus?

The system may have a mechanism to queue the requests and resend them once the external apparatus is back online.

Original Abstract Submitted

in order to easily select a change in setting content of a terminal apparatus on a terminal apparatus side, a first terminal apparatus acquires identification information of a second terminal apparatus and reference information which is referred to for changing a setting of the second terminal apparatus, and the first terminal apparatus transmits a setting change request to an external apparatus, the setting change request including the identification information of the second terminal apparatus and the reference information which have been acquired. then, the second terminal apparatus receives, from the external apparatus, setting change content corresponding to the setting change request, and changes setting content of the second terminal apparatus based on the setting change content.
