Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content sharing technologies are vulnerable to security issues when network connections change, requiring users to manually adjust settings, which is inconvenient and insecure.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device and method that stores a list of shared contents matching an access point, automatically setting contents to be shared based on the connected network, with features like meta data sharing, RSSI checking, and alarm generation for multiple access points, ensuring secure and convenient content sharing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If contents sharing settings are manually changed when network changes, then security level is improved, but user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent securityVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects network changes and adjusts content sharing settings without requiring user intervention. The electronic device monitors network connection status and autonomously updates the content sharing list based on the detected access point, eliminating the need for manual user input while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures content sharing settings for different access points before network changes occur. When a network change is detected, the system retrieves the pre-configured settings for the new access point and applies them automatically, ensuring seamless transition without user inconvenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If same contents are shared across different networks, then ease of operation is improved, but content security deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing consistencyVSAvoidcontent security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system maintains different content sharing settings for different access points, ensuring that contents are selectively shared based on the specific network connection. Each access point has its own associated content list, allowing the system to customize sharing behavior for each network while maintaining overall ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method of sharing content for an electronic device is provided. The electronic device is capable of changing contents that are to be shared when a network changes. The content sharing method includes storing a list of contents shared between the electronic device and another electronic device via a network formed using an access point, such that the contents match the access point, and setting contents included in a list of contents stored to match the access point as contents to be shared in response to the electronic device being connected to the network via the access point.
