Solution Overview

Problem

User equipment with multiple functions faces limitations in display size and speaker performance, necessitating external devices for enhanced functionality, but existing applications do not effectively manage execution based on connection states with these devices.

Innovation Solution

User equipment controls application execution and icon display based on connection states with external devices and predefined execution conditions, allowing standalone, disconnected, or device-related execution scenarios.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If user equipment is designed with multiple functions and connected to external devices, then functionality and performance are improved, but application management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidapplication management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts application execution and icon display based on real-time connection states between user equipment and external devices. Applications are automatically enabled or disabled depending on whether external devices are connected, and icons are shown or hidden based on execution conditions, creating a dynamic adaptation mechanism that resolves the contradiction between versatility and management complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the connection state detection results are fed back to control application execution and icon display. The execution condition settings create a feedback loop that automatically manages applications based on device connection status, reducing the need for manual intervention and simplifying application management while maintaining high functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If applications are controlled based on connection states, then resource efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring execution conditions for each application during installation or setup. These predetermined rules automatically determine whether applications should execute based on connection states, eliminating the need for complex real-time decision-making and reducing system complexity while improving resource efficiency through automatic application management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service mechanisms where applications automatically manage their own execution based on pre-set conditions and detected connection states. The system autonomously enables or disables applications and controls icon visibility without requiring user intervention or complex centralized control, thereby improving resource efficiency while keeping system complexity manageable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
