External Device Registration UI for Pre-Delivery Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices can only register and configure external devices after delivery, making it difficult for users to change configurations before delivery, especially in offline sales, and selecting specific devices among multiple is challenging without knowing their SSIDs.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a display, communication module, and processor that can connect to a server to receive device information, display a graphic object, allow configuration changes, store and transmit settings, and establish connections with external devices based on user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the electronic device waits for delivery completion before registering external device information, then the registration process is simple, but the user cannot change configuration before delivery and must manually input device details
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device receives and stores external device information (including device name, model, and other configuration details) from a server before the delivery is completed. This preliminary action allows the user to configure device settings in advance, eliminating the need for manual input after delivery and enabling configuration changes before the physical device arrives.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple external devices are present around the electronic device, then device availability increases, but it becomes difficult to select the specific purchased device without knowing its SSID
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device displays a list of detected external devices with their information (such as device names, models, and other identifiers) received from the server. This feedback mechanism allows the user to visually identify and select the specific purchased device from multiple available devices based on the displayed information, eliminating the need to know the SSID in advance.
3Productivity
If the electronic device establishes communication connection before delivery, then pre-configuration is enabled, but additional communication steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device establishes a communication connection with a server to receive external device information before delivery. The server acts as an intermediary that stores and transmits device details, enabling the electronic device to obtain configuration information without direct communication with the external device itself, thus simplifying the pre-configuration process.

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a communication module, a memory, and a processor configured to receive external device information by establishing a communication connection with a server using the communication module, display a graphic object indicating an external device corresponding to the received external device information on the display, provide a configuration user interface (UI) capable of changing configuration information of the external device based on a user input for the graphic object, store the changed configuration information of the external device based on a user input for the configuration UI, obtain a plurality of device information by searching the external device, establish the communication connection by selecting the device corresponding to the external device information among the plurality of device information, and transmit the stored configuration information to the external device through the communication connection.
