Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when connecting devices to execute applications due to the diversity of connection methods, requiring manual identification and setting of connection methods between devices, such as portable terminals and accessory devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for automatically connecting devices via short distance communication modes like NFC or BLE, allowing for seamless execution of applications by detecting external devices, receiving connection and application information, and establishing connections using Bluetooth, WiFi, or other communication modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual identification and setting of connection methods is used between devices, then connection reliability is improved, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting external devices and pre-establishing connection information before the user needs to use the application. The processor detects the external device through short-distance communication and automatically obtains connection information, eliminating the need for manual connection setup by the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the device to automatically manage its own connections. The processor automatically detects external devices, retrieves connection information, and establishes connections without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by handling the entire connection process autonomously.
2Ease of operation
If automatic device detection is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processor is designed with multi-functionality to handle both detection and connection establishment tasks. The same processor that manages application execution also performs device detection through short-distance communication and manages connection establishment, reducing the need for separate dedicated hardware components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the detection function and connection management function into a single integrated process. The processor combines short-distance communication capabilities with application execution management, creating a unified system that reduces overall device complexity while maintaining automatic detection and connection capabilities.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for executing an application based on a connection between devices by automatically connecting devices, and a device, are disclosed. The method includes: detecting an occurrence of first short distance communication between at least one external device and the device; receiving connection information which relates to a second short distance communication mode and application information which relates to the at least one external device from the at least one external device via the first short distance communication; establishing a connection based on the second short distance communication mode between the at least one external device and the device based on the received connection information which relates to the second short distance communication mode; and controlling the at least one external device via the second short distance communication mode by using an application which is executable based on the received application information.
