Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Data sharing between electronic devices operating on different operating systems is difficult, leading to challenges in properly utilizing acquired data.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device selects and transforms data from external devices based on the same account, using configuration references to generate user interfaces and utilize the data in various ways, regardless of form factor or operating system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data sharing is implemented between electronic devices operating on different operating systems, then data utilization capability is improved, but system compatibility complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that mediates data sharing between electronic devices with different operating systems. The server receives data from external devices, manages the data, and provides it to the electronic device, thereby enabling cross-platform data sharing without direct device-to-device compatibility requirements. This resolves the technical contradiction by adding a mediating layer that handles the complexity of system compatibility.
2Quantity of substance
If data is acquired from multiple external electronic devices, then data availability is improved, but data selection and processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the server automatically selects and provides appropriate data from multiple external devices based on the electronic device's configuration information, without requiring complex user intervention or manual data selection. The system autonomously handles data selection and processing, thereby improving data availability while minimizing the complexity burden on the user.
3Ease of operation
If data transformation is performed to match device configuration, then data usability is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the server transform and prepare data in advance based on the electronic device's configuration information before the data is requested. The server proactively adapts the data format and structure to match the target device's requirements, so that when the data is transferred, it is already in the usable format, thereby reducing the processing time at the moment of data acquisition while maintaining high data usability.

AI summary
According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise: a communication module for communicating with at least one external electronic device; a memory that stores configuration reference information for selecting at least one piece of data; and a processor operatively connected to the communication module and the memory. The processor may: acquire, via the communication module, first data of a first external electronic device and second data of a second external electronic device having the same account as the first external electronic device; select, on the basis of the configuration reference information stored in the memory, at least one piece of data from among the first data and the second data; and generate a user interface on the basis of the selected at least one piece of data
