Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication interface, processor, and memory that receives and processes information from multiple external devices, including biometric data and environmental sensors, to generate and display user guide information based on user location and input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronic devices provide basic operations only, then device complexity is low, but user experience optimization is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple external electronic devices (smartphone, smartwatch, refrigerator) into a unified system where the refrigerator acts as a central hub. The refrigerator integrates user profile storage, biometric sensing capabilities, and information display functions, merging these capabilities into a single appliance rather than requiring separate dedicated devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The refrigerator is designed with multi-functionality, serving not only as a food storage device but also as a biometric sensor, user profile manager, information display terminal, and communication hub. This universal approach allows one device to perform multiple roles that would traditionally require separate specialized devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If user guide information is provided without personalization, then information processing is simple, but user experience is not optimized
Solution Approach 1:
User profiles including personal information, preferences, and biometric data are collected and stored in advance in the refrigerator's memory before actual use. This preliminary data collection enables the system to immediately provide personalized information without requiring complex real-time analysis when a user approaches the refrigerator.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously receives biometric information from sensors and compares it against stored user profiles to identify which user is present. This feedback mechanism allows the refrigerator to dynamically adjust displayed information based on the identified user's profile, ensuring personalization without requiring complex real-time decision-making.
3Measurement precision
If multiple external devices are integrated for data collection, then information accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The refrigerator serves as an intermediary device that centralizes the collection, storage, and processing of data from multiple external devices. Instead of having each device independently process data from other devices, the refrigerator acts as a hub that receives information from smartphones and smartwatches, stores it in its memory, and manages the overall system coordination.

AI summary
An operation method of an electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving biometric information of a first user from a first external electronic device, receiving information sensed by a second external electronic device, which is located at a selected place associated with the first external electronic device, from the second external electronic device, generating user guide information at least partially based on the received biometric information of the first user and sensed information, receiving at least one of information indicating that the first external electronic device is located at the selected place and a user input for requesting of the user guide information via the second external electronic device, and in response to at least one of the received information and the user input, displaying the user guide information via a display device located at the selected place.
