Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack an efficient mechanism to selectively send electronic data using specific application communication protocols, leading to inefficiencies in message delivery across different services.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a processing unit that obtains and uses communication protocol identifiers to determine the appropriate communication target and protocol for sending electronic data, allowing for selective data transmission based on user input operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If an electronic device supports multiple different message delivery services (email, short-message, multimedia-message, instant-messaging), then the device's communication versatility is improved, but the complexity of selecting and managing the appropriate communication protocol for each service increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication service versatilityVSAvoidprotocol selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines the appropriate communication protocol by analyzing the communication target identifier without requiring manual user selection. The processing unit autonomously matches the target identifier with stored protocol identifiers to select the correct protocol, eliminating the need for complex user intervention in protocol selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

A single communication interface handles multiple message delivery services (email, short-message, multimedia-message, instant-messaging) by universally supporting various communication protocols. The system uses one unified interface that can adapt to different protocols based on the target identifier, rather than requiring separate interfaces for each service type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If the electronic device automatically determines the communication protocol based on the communication target identifier, then the ease of operation is improved, but the processing time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotocol selection easeVSAvoidprotocol determination time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-stores multiple communication protocol identifiers in the processing unit before actual communication occurs. By having protocols预先 stored and organized, the system can quickly retrieve and match the appropriate protocol when a communication target identifier is received, rather than analyzing or determining protocols in real-time during communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An electronic device for sending electronic data includes an electricity-using target, a storage unit and a processing unit. The storage unit stores a first communication target identifier used to identify a first communication target under a first specific application communication protocol, and a second communication target identifier used to identify a second communication target under a second specific application communication protocol being different from the first specific application communication protocol. The processing unit accesses the first and the second communication target identifiers by means of the electricity-using target, sends the electronic data toward the first communication target based on the accessed first communication target identifier and the first specific application communication protocol, and sends the electronic data toward the second communication target based on the accessed second communication target identifier and the second specific application communication protocol.
