SERVICE PROVIDING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18529186 titled 'SERVICE PROVIDING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
The patent application describes a service providing apparatus that utilizes multiple devices to provide a service.
- The apparatus includes a notice obtaining unit to obtain a replacement notice specifying a replacement source device.
- A code issuing unit issues a replacement code associated with the replacement source device specified in the replacement notice.
- A request obtaining unit acquires a continuation request containing the replacement code and specifying a replacement destination device.
- A managing unit requests management servers to manage the replacement destination device instead of the replacement source device associated with the replacement code.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be applied in the field of device management and service provision across multiple devices. - It could be used in scenarios where seamless transitions between devices are required for uninterrupted services.
Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of replacing source devices with destination devices in a service providing system. - Ensures continuity of service by efficiently managing device transitions.
Benefits: - Streamlines device replacement processes in service provision. - Enhances user experience by ensuring uninterrupted services across different devices.
Commercial Applications: "Device Management System for Seamless Service Provision in Multi-Device Environments" This technology could be valuable for companies offering services that require users to switch between multiple devices while maintaining a consistent experience.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus ensure the security of the replacement code during device transitions? 2. What measures are in place to prevent disruptions in service when switching between devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
A service providing apparatus provides a service using a plurality of devices. The apparatus includes a notice obtaining unit configured to obtain a replacement notice specifying a replacement source device, a code issuing unit configured to issue a replacement code associated with the replacement source device specified in the replacement notice, a request obtaining unit configured to obtain a continuation request including the replacement code, the continuation request specifying a replacement destination device, and a managing unit configured to request one or more management servers to manage the replacement destination device specified in the continuation request instead of the replacement source device associated with the replacement code included in the continuation request.
