Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing inter-device linkage technologies are used for interface integration and file transfer, then device connectivity is achieved, but user operation convenience deteriorates due to limited single-device capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables a single device to access and utilize capabilities from multiple different devices through the capability invocation mechanism. The first device can invoke processing capabilities (translation, object recognition, etc.) from a second device, making the system universally adaptable to various processing needs without requiring each device to have all capabilities locally.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a mediator mechanism (the capability invocation system involving the processor and display device) that facilitates interaction between devices with different capabilities. The mediator manages the complex interactions of capability detection, invocation, and result display, simplifying user operations while maintaining device connectivity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple devices are used to perform complex tasks, then functional capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects available capabilities on connected devices and manages the invocation process without requiring user configuration. The processor automatically identifies which capabilities are available on the second device and invokes them appropriately, reducing system complexity while maintaining enhanced functional capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments different functional capabilities across multiple devices, with each device specializing in specific functions (e.g., one device for display, another for processing). This segmentation allows complex tasks to be distributed across devices while the system manages the complexity through modular capability invocation rather than monolithic system design.
3Productivity
If real-time image processing is performed across devices, then processing speed is improved, but communication overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary capability detection and device pairing before actual image processing occurs. By pre-establishing the capability inventory of connected devices and setting up the invocation framework in advance, the system minimizes communication overhead during real-time processing while maintaining high processing speed through ready-to-use capability pathways.

AI summary
This application provides a method for invoking a capability of another device, an electronic device, and a system. The method includes: A first electronic device is configured to detect a first operation of a user. The first electronic device sends request information to a second electronic device in response to the first operation, where the request information is used to request first image information on the second electronic device. The second electronic device sends the first image information to the second electronic device in response to the request information. The first electronic device processes the first image information by using a first function. Embodiments of this application help improve cross-device use experience of the user.
