Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face increased time and discomfort in setting accessibility features on electronic devices due to the diversity of features and settings, especially when transitioning to new devices, leading to heterogeneity in usage environments.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a wireless communication circuit and processor pairs with an external device to obtain and apply accessibility setting information, allowing for streamlined and consistent accessibility feature settings across devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If accessibility features are diversified with detailed setting items, then the effectiveness and usability of accessibility features are improved, but the time required for users to set these features increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by automatically copying accessibility setting information from a user's previously used electronic device to the current device before the user needs to use it. The processor obtains accessibility setting information including activation status and detailed settings of various accessibility features from the external electronic device, and automatically applies these settings to the current device, eliminating the need for users to reconfigure each setting manually.
2Adaptability or versatility
If accessibility features are customized for each electronic device, then the suitability for specific devices is improved, but users experience heterogeneity and discomfort across different devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a portable accessibility setting information system that works across multiple electronic devices. The accessibility setting information is extracted from one device and applied to another, making the settings universal across different devices. This allows users to maintain consistent accessibility configurations regardless of which device they are using, eliminating heterogeneity and providing a uniform experience across different electronic devices.
3Ease of operation
If users manually configure accessibility features on each new device, then complete control over settings is achieved, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by replicating accessibility setting information from an external electronic device to the current electronic device. The processor obtains accessibility setting information including activation status and detailed parameters of accessibility features from the external device, and copies these settings to configure the current device automatically. This copying mechanism simplifies the configuration process while maintaining complete control over accessibility features.
