Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for information sharing between electronic devices cannot be implemented within a browser interface, as the binding operation is performed outside the browser interface, lacking a convenient and accurate solution for information sharing in this context.

Innovation Solution

An information sharing method and apparatus that detects the electronic device binding option within a browser, retrieves a dialog box for setting binding functions, executes the binding function in the background, and sends information to a server to establish a binding relationship between devices, enabling information sharing within the browser interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If binding operation is performed outside browser interface, then device binding can be established, but information sharing cannot be implemented within browser interface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharing in browser interfaceVSAvoidbinding operation location
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the binding operation with the browser interface by integrating device selection and binding confirmation directly into browser pages. Users can complete device binding without leaving the browser environment, combining two previously separate operations (binding and information sharing) into a unified browser-based workflow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where the browser acts as a mediator between devices for binding operations. Through browser-based pages and server coordination, the binding process is facilitated within the browser interface, enabling information sharing to subsequently occur entirely within the browser environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If binding operation is moved into browser interface, then information sharing can be implemented in browser, but binding accuracy and device correspondence confirmation may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding operation in browser interfaceVSAvoiddevice correspondence confirmation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms within the browser interface to ensure accurate device correspondence confirmation. The system provides real-time feedback during the binding process, including device identification display, binding status updates, and confirmation prompts, allowing users to verify that the correct devices are being bound while maintaining browser-based operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions within the browser interface to ensure accurate device binding before information sharing begins. Device identification, selection, and confirmation steps are completed in advance through browser-based interactions, establishing a verified binding relationship that enables subsequent accurate information sharing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention provide an information sharing method, an information sharing apparatus, and an electronic device. The method is implemented by a first electronic device. The method includes: when it is detected that an electronic device binding option built in a browser is triggered, retrieving a dialog box built in the browser, where at least one electronic device binding function option may be set in the dialog box; when it is detected that an electronic device binding function option is triggered, executing a corresponding electronic device binding function in the background, and sending first information to a server; and after the server determines that a preset correspondence exists between second information sent by a second electronic device and the first information and establishes a binding relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, sharing information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. Embodiments of the present invention implement information sharing between electronic devices in a browser interface, thereby implementing convenient information sharing, and moreover ensuring accuracy of information sharing.
