The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module (190) may include a communication module (192) (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0072] The communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following the 4G network, such as NR access technology (new radio access technology). NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). The communication module (192) can support, for example, a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate.

[0075] At least some of the above components can be interconnected and exchange signals (e.g., commands or data) with each other via a communication method between peripheral devices (e.g., a bus, GPIO (general purpose input and output), SPI (serial peripheral interface), or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface).

[0076] According to one embodiment, commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device (101) and an external electronic device (104) via a server (108) connected to a second network (199). Each of the external electronic devices (102 or 104) may be the same or a different type of device as the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations executed in the electronic device (101) may be executed in one or more of the external electronic devices (102, 104, or 108). For example, when the electronic device (101) is to perform a certain function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device (101) may, instead of or in addition to executing the function or service itself, request one or more external electronic devices to perform the function or at least a part of the service.

The electronic device (101) may process the result as is or additionally and provide it as at least a portion of a response to the request. For this purpose, cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing technology may be used, for example. The electronic device (101) may provide an ultra-low latency service by using distributed computing or mobile edge computing, for example. In one embodiment, the external electronic device (104) may include an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The server (108) may be an intelligent server utilizing machine learning and / or a neural network. According to one embodiment, the external electronic device (104) or the server (108) may be included in the second network (199).The electronic device (101) can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart city, smart car, or healthcare) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology.

[0083] According to an example, in operation 310, the electronic device (10) may perform a communication connection with the user device (20) based on a trigger input. For example, the trigger input may include a user input that switches the screen-off state of the electronic device (10) to a screen-on state. For example, the electronic device (10) may sense a user device (20) present within a predetermined distance based on the trigger input. The electronic device (10) may perform a communication connection with the user device (20) based on recognizing the user device (20). For example, the electronic device (10) may perform a communication connection with the user device (20) using short-range wireless communication.

[0084] According to an example, in operation 320, the electronic device (10) may receive user characteristic information from the user device (20).

The personalized setting option may include user characteristic information. The personalized setting option may include an output setting value applicable to the user interface of the electronic device (10) among the user characteristic information. For example, the electronic device (10) may adjust an output setting value corresponding to a characteristic of the electronic device (10) among the user characteristic information based on the characteristic of the electronic device (10), and generate the personalized setting option based on the adjusted output setting value.

[0086] For example, in operation 340, the electronic device (10) may output a first user interface for selecting whether to apply a personalization option. For example, the first user interface may be at least one of an image output interface and a voice output interface that includes output settings included in the personalization option. The first user interface may be a preview user interface to which the personalization option is applied in advance.

[0087] For example, in steps 350 and 360, the electronic device (10) may determine whether the user accepts the application of a personalized setting option, and based on the acceptance input for the application of the personalized setting option, output a second user interface to which the personalized setting option is applied. For example, the user may determine whether to apply the personalized setting option on the first user interface. Based on the acceptance input for the application of the personalized setting option, the electronic device (10) may apply the personalized setting option generated from the user characteristic information to the entire user interface. For example, the second user interface may be a user interface optimized for the user based on at least one of the output setting value of the user device (20), the user's personal information, and the sensing information of the user device (20).

[0088] In this way, the electronic device (10) providing the user interface of the present disclosure can receive user characteristic information from the user device (20) and output a customized user interface to which personalized options generated based on the user characteristic information are applied. Accordingly, the electronic device (10) providing the user interface of the present disclosure can increase the usability of the public device by providing various customized user interfaces based on the user characteristic information.

[0089] Additionally, the electronic device (10) providing the user interface of the present disclosure can output a preview user interface with pre-applied personalized settings when selecting whether to apply a customized user interface. Accordingly, the electronic device (10) providing the user interface of the present disclosure can effectively assist users of the digitally vulnerable class in selecting a user interface using the preview user interface.

[0109] FIG. 6 illustrates an operation of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present invention to generate a personalized option (PSO) based on user characteristic information (UCI).

[0110] Referring to FIG. 6, the electronic device (10) can generate a personalized setting option (PSO) applicable to the user interface based on the user characteristic information (UCI). For example, the electronic device (10) can adjust an output setting value corresponding to a characteristic of the electronic device (10) among the user characteristic information (UCI) based on the characteristic of the electronic device (10), and generate the personalized setting option (PSO) based on the adjusted output setting value.

[0111] The electronic device (10) can adjust the output setting values ​​included in the user characteristic information (UCI) based on the output function and display information of the electronic device (10). That is, the electronic device (10) can adjust the user characteristic information (UCI) to suit the electronic device (10). For example, the electronic device (10) can maintain, change, or remove the output setting values ​​based on the output function and display information of the electronic device (10). For example, the electronic device (10) can maintain output setting values ​​(e.g., Large display, Bold font, Talkback) that are equally applicable to the user interface among the user characteristic information (UCI) as the same personal setting option (PSO) in the electronic device (10) based on the output function and display information. For example, the electronic device (10) can change output setting values ​​(e.g., High contrast (UCI1)) that are similarly applicable to the user interface among the user characteristic information (UCI) to the corresponding personal setting option (PSO) in the electronic device (10) based on the output function and display information. For example, the electronic device (10) can remove inapplicable output settings (e.g., Power saving (UCI2)) from the personal setting options (PSO) among the user characteristic information (UCI) based on the output function and display information.

[0112] Specifically, the personalization option (PSO) may include user characteristic information (UCI). The personalization option (PSO) may include output settings applicable to the user interface of the electronic device (10) among the user characteristic information (UCI). For example, the personalization option (PSO) may include the same output settings as the user characteristic information (UCI) (e.g., Large display, Bold font, Talkback). For example, the personalization option (PSO) may include output settings adjusted from the user characteristic information (UCI) (e.g., High contrast) (e.g., Highlight buttons (PSO1)). For example, the personalization option (PSO) may exclude at least some output settings of the user characteristic information (UCI) (e.g., Power saving). The electronic device (10) may output the user interface based on the personalization option (PSO).

[0113] In one embodiment, the Personal Setting Options (PSO) may include various setting options based on the capabilities of the electronic device (10).

For example, the Braille reference point function may be a function that provides Braille reference points for the visually impaired, thereby allowing the visually impaired to easily identify the location of input buttons for key functions.

[0118] In one embodiment, the electronic device (10) may receive user characteristic information (UCI) from a plurality of user devices (20). For example, the electronic device (10) may establish a communication connection with a plurality of user devices (20) in the vicinity and receive user characteristic information (UCI) from each of the plurality of user devices (20). In this case, the electronic device (10) may generate a personalized setting option (PSO) by reflecting a weight on the user characteristic information (UCI) received from the plurality of user devices (20).

[0119] Specifically, the electronic device (10) can receive first user characteristic information (UCI) from the first user device (20). The electronic device (10) can receive second user characteristic information (UCI) from the second user device (20). The electronic device (10) can calculate a weight of the user characteristic information (UCI) based on the degree to which the first user device (20) and the second user device (20) are similar to the electronic device (10). The electronic device (10) can calculate a functional similarity of the first user device (20) and the second user device (20) based on output functions and display information. For example, the electronic device (10) can calculate a first weight of the first user characteristic information based on the functional similarity of the first user device (20). For example, the electronic device (10) can calculate a first weight of the first user characteristic information based on the functional similarity of the first user device (20). The electronic device (10) can generate the personalized option (PSO) including first user characteristic information and second user characteristic information based on the first weight and the second weight.

[0120] For example, the electronic device (10) may compare the sizes of the displays of the first user device (20) and the second user device (20), and generate a personalized option (PSO) including user characteristic information (UCI) of the user device (20) whose display size is more similar among the first user device (20) and the second user device (20).

[0121] FIG. 7a illustrates an example of a first user interface for selecting whether to apply a personal setting option (PSO), and FIG. 7b illustrates another example of a first user interface for selecting whether to apply a personal setting option (PSO).

[0122] The electronic device (10) can output a first user interface (UI1) for selecting whether to apply a personal setting option (PSO). The first user interface (UI1) may be a preview user interface to which the personal setting option (PSO) has been previously applied. For example, the electronic device (10) can output the first user interface (UI1) for selecting whether to apply the personal setting option (PSO) by applying the personal setting option (PSO) in advance. The user can experience the user interface to which the personal setting option (PSO) has been applied in advance through the first user interface (UI1) to which the personal setting option (PSO) has been applied. In addition, the user can easily recognize the user interface of the electronic device (10) through the first user interface (UI1) to which the personal setting option (PSO) has been applied.

[0123] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7a, the electronic device (10) can output an image-based first user interface (UI1). The first user interface (UI1) can include an image output interface to which the personalization option (PSO) is applied. For example, the personalization option (PSO) can include a large display, highlight buttons, bold font, and talkback. The first user interface (UI1) can include an image to which the personalization option (PSO) is pre-applied. For example, the electronic device (10) can output an image-based first user interface (UI1) to which the personalization option (PSO) (e.g., large display, highlight buttons, bold font) is applied based on user characteristic information (UCI). The electronic device (10) can receive from the user whether to accept the application of the personalization option (PSO) on the first user interface (UI1). In this way, the user can experience the user interface with the personalization option (PSO) applied in advance through the first user interface (UI1) with the personalization option (PSO) applied.

[0124] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7b, the electronic device (10) can output a first voice-based user interface (UI1). The first user interface (UI1) can include a voice output interface to which the personalization option (PSO) is applied. For example, the personalization option (PSO) can include a large display, highlight buttons, bold font, and talkback. The first user interface (UI1) can include a voice to which the personalization option (PSO) is pre-applied. For example, the electronic device (10) can output the first voice-based user interface (UI1) to which the personalization option (PSO) (e.g., talkback) is applied based on user characteristic information (UCI). The electronic device (10) can receive from the user on the first user interface (UI1) whether or not to accept the application of the personalization option (PSO). In this way, a user (e.g., a visually impaired person) can easily recognize the user interface of the electronic device (10) through the first user interface (UI1) to which the personal setting option (PSO) is applied.

[0125] In one embodiment, the electronic device (10) can change a personalization option (PSO). For example, the electronic device (10) can change the personalization option (PSO) based on a user input for changing the personalization option (PSO) in the first user interface (UI1). In this case, the user can change the personalization option (PSO) by selecting the personalization option (PSO) in the first user interface (UI1). For example, the electronic device (10) can change the personalization option (PSO) based on a user input for changing the user characteristic information (UCI) in the user device (20). In this case, the user can change the personalization option (PSO) of the electronic device (10) by changing the user characteristic in the user device (20).

[0126] FIG. 8 illustrates a second user interface (UI2) of an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0127] Referring to FIG. 8, a second user interface (UI2) to which the personalization option (PSO) is applied can be output. For example, the second user interface (UI2) can be a user interface optimized for the user based on at least one of the output setting value of the user device (20), the user's personal information, and the sensing information of the user device (20). For example, the electronic device (10) can apply the personalization option (PSO) generated from the user characteristic information (UCI) to the entire user interface based on the input of acceptance of application of the personalization option (PSO).

[0128] For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the electronic device (10) may output a second user interface (UI2) to which personalized options (PSO) (e.g., Large display, Highlight buttons, Bold font, Talkback) generated based on user characteristic information (UCI) are applied. For example, the second user interface (UI2) may have enlarged images, highlighted selection buttons and letters, and provide a talkback function compared to the user interface before the personalized options (PSO) are applied.

[0129] In this way, the electronic device (10) providing the user interface of the present disclosure can increase the usability of a public device by providing various user-customized user interfaces based on user characteristic information (UCI).

[0130] In addition, the electronic device (10) providing the user interface of the present disclosure can effectively assist a user of a digitally vulnerable class in selecting a user interface by using a preview user interface.

For example, the similar device characteristic information (SDCI) may include at least one of a text setting value, a display setting value, a sound setting value, and a touch sensitivity setting value of the similar device (30). For example, the electronic device (10) may receive similar device characteristic information (SDCI) from the similar device (30) connected to the user device (20) through the user device (20). For example, the electronic device (10) may perform a communication connection with the similar device (30) and receive the similar device characteristic information (SDCI) directly from the similar device (30). Since the similar device (30) has an output function and display information similar to those of the electronic device (10), the similar device characteristic information (SDCI) may include an output setting value suitable for the user interface of the electronic device (10).

[0136] According to an example, in operation 940, the electronic device (10) may generate a personalized setting option (PSO) applicable to a user interface based on user characteristic information (UCI) and similar device characteristic information (SDCI). The personalized setting option (PSO) may include user characteristic information (UCI) and similar device characteristic information (SDCI). The personalized setting option (PSO) may include output setting values ​​applicable to the user interface of the electronic device (10) among the user characteristic information (UCI) and the similar device characteristic information (SDCI).

[0140] In one example, in operation 1120, the electronic device (10) may determine an output mode based on user characteristic information (UCI). For example, the electronic device (10) may determine an output mode based on at least one of an output setting value of the user device (20), the user's personal information, and sensing information of the user device (20) included in the user characteristic information (UCI).

[0141] The electronic device (10) can determine the output mode by comparing the similarity between the user characteristic information (UCI) and the preset personal setting option (PSO) for each output mode. For example, the electronic device (10) can map the user characteristic information (UCI) to the preset personal setting option (PSO) for each output mode. For example, the electronic device (10) can determine whether there is a personal setting option (PSO) corresponding to the user characteristic information (UCI). For example, the electronic device (10) can determine the similarity between the user characteristic information (UCI) and the preset personal setting option (PSO) corresponding to the user characteristic information (UCI). For example, the electronic device (10) can determine the similarity by comparing at least one of the output setting value of the user device (20), the user's personal information, and the sensing information of the user device (20) with the preset personal setting option (PSO) for each output mode. The electronic device (10) can determine the output mode based on the similarity judgment result between the user characteristic information (UCI) and the personal setting option (PSO) set for each output mode.

[0142] An output mode may be an output method that provides a user interface optimized for a specific group of users. For example, the output mode may include at least one of a kids mode, a senior mode, a visually impaired mode, a hearing impaired mode, and a multilingual mode. The electronic device (10) may extract a preset personal setting option (PSO) for each output mode. For example, at least one memory of the electronic device (10) may store at least one of a kids setting option, a senior setting option, a visually impaired setting option, a hearing impaired setting option, and a multilingual setting option, preset for each output mode.

[0143] For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the electronic device (10) may determine the output mode as a kids mode based on user characteristic information (UCI). The kids mode may be an output method that provides a user interface optimized for child users. For example, in the kids mode, the electronic device (10) may select age-restricted content considering the user's age. For example, in the kids mode, the electronic device (10) may output a user interface with a low height considering the user's height. For example, in the kids mode, the electronic device (10) may increase the interaction duration considering the user's reaction speed. For example, in the kids mode, the electronic device (10) may provide a voice guidance function considering the user's reading ability.

The personalization options (PSO) can include user characteristic information (UCI). The personalization options (PSO) can include output settings applicable to the user interface of at least one external device among the user characteristic information (UCI).

[0153] For example, in operation 1330, at least one external device may output a third user interface to which the personalization option (PSO) is applied. For example, the at least one external device may output a third user interface to which the personalization option (PSO) received from the electronic device (10) is applied. For example, the third user interface may be a user interface optimized for the user based on at least one of an output setting value of the user device (20), the user's personal information, and sensing information of the user device (20).

[0154] FIG. 15 illustrates another operation sequence of an electronic device according to one embodiment, FIG. 16a illustrates an operation of an electronic device according to one embodiment to generate a personalized setting option (PSO) based on user characteristic information (UCI) and determine a driving mode, and FIG. 16b illustrates a second user interface (UI2) of an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0155] Referring to FIGS. 15 to 16b, the electronic device (10) receives user characteristic information (UCI) from the user device (20) (operation 1510), generates a personalized setting option (PSO) applicable to a user interface based on the user characteristic information (UCI) (operation 1520), determines a driving mode based on the user characteristic information (UCI) (operation 1530), outputs a first user interface (UI1) that selects whether to apply the personalized setting option (PSO) and the driving mode (operation 1540), determines whether the user accepts the personalized setting option (PSO) (operation 1550), and based on an acceptance input of application of the personalized setting option (PSO), outputs a second user interface (UI2) to which the personalized setting option (PSO) is applied (operation 1560), and applies the driving mode (operation 1570).

[0156] According to an example, in operation 1510, the electronic device (10) may receive user characteristic information (UCI) from the user device (20). For example, the user characteristic information (UCI) may include at least one of an output setting value of the user device (20), personal information of the user, and sensing information of the user device (20). The output setting value of the user device (20) may include at least one of a text setting value, a display setting value, a sound setting value, and a touch sensitivity setting value. The personal information of the user may include at least one of the user's age, gender, physical information, and disability information. The sensing information of the user device (20) may include a user's moving speed, a user's direction and posture, and surrounding environment information.

[0157] According to an example, in operation 1520, the electronic device (10) may generate a personalized setting option (PSO) applicable to a user interface based on user characteristic information (UCI). The personalized setting option (PSO) may include user characteristic information (UCI). The personalized setting option (PSO) may include output setting values ​​applicable to the user interface of the electronic device (10) among the user characteristic information (UCI). For example, the electronic device (10) may adjust an output setting value corresponding to a characteristic of the electronic device (10) among the user characteristic information (UCI) based on the characteristic of the electronic device (10), and generate the personalized setting option (PSO) based on the adjusted output setting value.

[0158] For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, the personalization option (PSO) may include the same output settings as the user characteristic information (UCI) (e.g., Large display, Bold font, Talkback). For example, the personalization option (PSO) may include output settings (PSO1) (e.g., Highlight buttons) adjusted from the user characteristic information (UCI) (e.g., High contrast). For example, the personalization option (PSO) may exclude at least some output settings (e.g., Power saving) of the user characteristic information (UCI). The electronic device (10) may output a user interface based on the personalization option (PSO).

[0159] In one example, at operation 1530, the electronic device (10) can determine the driving mode based on user characteristic information (UCI).

[0160] The driving mode may refer to a method of performing the main driving of the electronic device (10). For example, the driving mode may include at least one of a power saving mode, an active mode, a sleep mode, and a safety mode. The power saving mode may be a process of minimizing power usage of the electronic device (10). For example, the power saving mode may minimize at least one of the display brightness, driving intensity, background processes, and network activity of the electronic device (10). The active mode may be a process of actively executing the main driving of the electronic device (10). For example, the active mode may maximize the driving intensity of the electronic device (10). The sleep mode may be a process of providing an optimal sleeping environment to the user. For example, the sleep mode may minimize the display brightness and driving noise of the electronic device (10). The safety mode may be a process of protecting the state of the electronic device (10). For example, the safety mode may provide only the basic functions of the electronic device (10) and restrict additional functions.

[0161] The electronic device (10) can determine the driving mode of the electronic device (10) as at least one of power saving mode, active mode, sleep mode, and safety mode based on user characteristic information (UCI). For example, the electronic device (10) can determine the driving mode of the electronic device (10) based on at least one of the output setting value of the user device (20), the user's personal information, and the sensing information of the user device (20).

[0162] For example, as shown in FIG. 16a, the electronic device (10) can extract user characteristic information (UCI) that can determine the driving mode (OM) (e.g., power saving mode) from the output setting value of the user device (20), the user's personal information, and the sensing information of the user device (20). The electronic device (10) can perform main driving based on the driving mode (OM).

[0163] For example, in operation 1540, the electronic device (10) may output a first user interface (UI1) that selects whether to apply a personal setting option (PSO) and a driving mode. For example, the first user interface (UI1) may be at least one of an image output interface and a voice output interface that includes a personal setting option (PSO) driving mode. The first user interface (UI1) may be a preview user interface to which the personal setting option (PSO) is applied in advance.

[0164] According to an example, in operations 1550, 1560, and 1570, the electronic device (10) may output a second user interface (UI2) to which the personal setting option (PSO) is applied and apply a driving mode based on an input of acceptance of application of the personal setting option (PSO). For example, the user may determine whether to apply the personal setting option (PSO) on the first user interface (UI1). The electronic device (10) may apply the personal setting option (PSO) generated from user characteristic information (UCI) to the entire user interface based on an input of acceptance of application of the personal setting option (PSO). For example, the second user interface (UI2) may be a user interface optimized for the user based on at least one of an output setting value of the user device (20), the user's personal information, and sensing information of the user device (20).

[0165] As shown in FIG. 16b, the electronic device (10) can output a second user interface (UI2) to which personalized options (PSO) (e.g., large display, highlight buttons, bold font, talkback) generated based on user characteristic information (UCI) are applied. For example, the second user interface (UI2) can have enlarged images, highlighted selection buttons and text, and provide a talkback function compared to the user interface before the personalized options (PSO) are applied.

[0166] As shown in FIG. 16b, the electronic device (10) can apply an operating mode (OM) (e.g., power saving mode) determined based on user characteristic information (UCI). For example, when performing main operation, the electronic device (10) can minimize at least one of the display brightness, operating intensity, background process, and network activity of the electronic device (10).
