Solution Overview

Problem

Users need to manually control electronic devices to establish communication connections and select data for sharing between devices, which is inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device determines a time point for data sharing based on situation information, such as battery charging state, to automatically request and receive a data list and specific data from another device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual control is used to establish communication connection and select data for sharing, then user control and precision are improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidextent of automation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device automatically determines the time point for data sharing based on detected situation information (such as battery charging state) without requiring user intervention. The device autonomously requests data lists from other devices, selects appropriate data, and completes the sharing process, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual user control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The device detects situation information in advance (such as battery charging state) and uses this pre-detected information to automatically determine the optimal time point for data sharing. By performing the detection and decision-making action preliminarily based on situation information, the system prepares for automatic data sharing before user intervention would be needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If automatic data sharing is implemented based on situation information, then ease of operation and productivity are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device uses situation information (such as battery charging state parameters) as the basis for automatically determining the time point for data sharing. By monitoring and responding to changes in situation information parameters, the system enables automatic data sharing that improves productivity without requiring complex user interfaces or manual control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A first electronic device is provided. The first electronic device includes a communication module and a controller that is configured to request a data list from a second electronic device based on a detection of a charging state of a battery of the first electronic device, receive the data list corresponding to the request, and request at least some elements of data in the received data list from the second electronic device.
