Content Control Module for Cross-Device Log Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices cannot conveniently identify or store use or transmission logs of contents across different applications or external devices, limiting user convenience and information access.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a storage module and a content control module that transmits and receives contents, storing log information as attribute information (metadata) related to the contents, enabling convenient identification and management of use or transmission logs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If history information is stored according to each application, then the history information can be identified when the corresponding application is executed, but the history information cannot be identified when contents are transmitted to external electronic devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal history information storage system that is not bound to specific applications. The content control module stores history information in a centralized manner that can be accessed across different applications and external devices, making the history information universally accessible regardless of which application or device is involved.
Solution Approach 2:
The content control module acts as an intermediary between applications and the history information storage system. It captures and stores history information generated by various applications and external devices, mediating the access to this information so that it can be retrieved across different contexts and applications.
2Reliability
If log information is stored as separate data, then comprehensive logging is achieved, but user convenience and information access are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges log information with content data by storing log information as attribute information (metadata) related to the contents. This combination allows comprehensive logging to be achieved while maintaining ease of access, as the log information is integrated with the content it describes rather than being stored separately.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to content storage by incorporating log information as attribute information. This dimensional change allows the system to maintain both the original content and its associated log information in a unified structure, improving information access without sacrificing logging completeness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If contents are transmitted to external electronic devices, then content sharing is enabled, but transmission logs cannot be identified
Solution Approach 1:
The content control module implements a feedback mechanism that captures transmission logs when contents are sent to external electronic devices. This feedback system ensures that information about the transmission is recorded and stored as attribute information, allowing the system to maintain awareness of transmission activities even when contents leave the original device.
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed is an electronic device including a storage module that stores contents, and a content control module that transmits the contents to at least one other electronic device. The content control module may store log information in the storage module which is recorded in connection with access to the contents by the electronic device or the at least one other electronic device as attribute information (metadata) related to the contents.
