Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices face challenges in effectively utilizing schedule-related information extracted from external content due to information overload, making it difficult to provide timely and relevant recommendations to users.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device identifies whether an application transmitting content is an information-sharing application, extracts schedule-related information, and generates recommendation information based on this data, which is then displayed to the user, improving convenience by providing relevant suggestions during schedule registration or notification configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the electronic device extracts and stores all schedule-related information from external content, then the quantity of available information increases, but the complexity of processing and utilizing this information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of schedule-related informationVSAvoidcomplexity of information processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary schedule-related information (time, date, location, event type) from the external content while filtering out irrelevant information. This selective extraction reduces the processing complexity while maintaining the essential information needed for recommendation generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the information processing into distinct modules: content reception, information extraction, recommendation generation, and display. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks independently, reducing the overall processing complexity while maintaining comprehensive information utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the electronic device provides detailed recommendation information based on extracted data, then the helpfulness of recommendations improves, but the amount of information displayed to the user increases causing overload

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehelpfulness of recommendationsVSAvoidamount of recommendation information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of detail for different recommendation elements. Critical information like time and location is highlighted prominently, while less critical information is provided in summary form. This differentiated presentation maintains recommendation helpfulness while reducing overall information burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary organization and categorization of extracted information before generating recommendations. By pre-structuring the data into meaningful groups and priorities, the system can present recommendations in a streamlined manner that is both helpful and easy to process for the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of time

If the electronic device processes and displays recommendation information in real-time, then the timeliness of information improves, but the processing speed requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetimeliness of recommendation informationVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary extraction and storage of schedule-related information when content is received, rather than processing it in real-time when needed. This pre-processing approach maintains timeliness by having information ready for immediate use, while reducing the processing speed burden during actual recommendation generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system monitors user interaction with recommendations and adjusts processing priorities accordingly. This allows the system to maintain real-time responsiveness for critical operations while deferring less time-sensitive processing tasks, thereby managing processing speed requirements effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise a display module, a processor, and a memory operatively connected to the display module and the processor. The memory can store instructions that allow, when executed, in response to reception of at least one piece of content, the processor to identify whether an application corresponding to the at least one piece of content is an information-sharing application, extract schedule-related information based on the received at least one piece of content in response to identifying that the application is the information-sharing application, generate at least one piece of recommendation information based on the extracted schedule-related information in response to execution of a schedule-related application, and display the generated at least one piece of recommendation information through the display module. Various other embodiments are possible.
