Electronic Device Privacy Level Detection for Event Output
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices that provide event information to users often expose personal information to others and fail to consider the user's environment or device state, leading to ineffective information delivery.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor and memory that determines the privacy level of event information and selectively outputs it to appropriate target devices based on user information and situation-specific conditions, ensuring privacy protection and effective information delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If event information is output through a screen or speaker, then the user receives the information, but personal information may be exposed to others violating privacy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that sits between the event information generation and the output devices. This intermediary analyzes the situation information, determines candidate users, evaluates privacy levels, and selectively controls whether information is output through screens or speakers. The intermediary prevents direct exposure of personal information by filtering and conditionally transmitting only appropriate information to output devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of information output by dynamically adjusting what information is displayed or spoken based on situation context. Instead of always outputting complete event information, the system modifies the information content parameter according to privacy requirements - outputting only non-sensitive portions when privacy risk is detected, while still delivering essential event information to the user.
2Ease of operation
If event information is simply output without considering environment or device state, then the output process is simple, but the user may not receive the information effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors situation information including device state and environmental context. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts the information output strategy - selecting appropriate target devices, determining output timing, and choosing display or speech modes. This feedback loop ensures information is delivered effectively without requiring complex manual configuration by the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the information output system dynamic by continuously adapting to changing situation conditions. Instead of a static output approach, the system dynamically evaluates candidate users, assesses privacy levels, and adjusts output targets and methods in real-time based on current device state and environmental factors, thereby maintaining ease of operation while improving effective information delivery.

AI summary
An electronic device and a method for controlling the electronic device are provided. The method includes acquiring event information and determining a target user from among a plurality of users to receive the event information, based on stored user information. Additionally, the method includes acquiring device information about at least one of the electronic device and at least one external electronic device corresponding to the target user, determining a target device to provide the event information, based on the device information, and then providing an event output signal for outputting the event information, to the target device. Further, the method includes determining a method for outputting the event information through the target device, based on an event output scheme of the target device, and a privacy level of the event information.
