Electronic Device Information Distribution via Automatic Icon Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information distribution systems require users to perform multiple operations to view desired content, making it cumbersome and difficult for users to access the information they need.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device communicable with a server system that transmits and stores information, allowing users to easily access and display content by selecting information display icons, which are updated regularly and linked to specific events or services, enabling quick acquisition and display of relevant information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users select items from the content menu to display desired content, then the information distribution system can provide targeted information, but the user operation becomes complex and troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device automatically acquires and displays distribution information without requiring user selection operations. The device autonomously receives information from the information distribution apparatus and displays it on the display unit, eliminating the need for users to navigate through content menus and perform multiple selection steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the essential function of displaying relevant information from the complex content selection process. Instead of requiring users to access a content menu and make selections, the system directly extracts and displays the needed distribution information on the electronic device's display unit.
2Loss of time
If multiple operations are required to display content, then information can be accurately delivered to users, but the time required for users to access information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device performs preliminary actions by automatically acquiring distribution information from the information distribution apparatus before the user needs it. The device receives and stores information in advance, so when display is needed, the information is already available and can be shown immediately without requiring user navigation or selection operations.
3Ease of operation
If a content menu is displayed showing available content, then users can choose what they want to view, but the interface becomes cluttered and harder to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary distribution information from the complete content menu and displays it directly on the electronic device. Instead of showing users a comprehensive menu of all available content requiring navigation and selection, the system extracts and presents the specific distribution information relevant to the user's device and context.

AI summary
An electronic device communicable with a server system via a network, includes circuitry to: transmit information on the electronic device to the server system; store in a memory information on a display component corresponding to the information on the electronic device that is acquired from the server system; read the information on the display component stored in the memory at a predetermined timing; display the display component that is read on a display; in response to selection of the display component, acquire information associated with the display component from the server system; and display the acquired information on the display.
