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 graphic objects, 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 configuration details) from the server before the delivery is completed. This preliminary action allows the user to configure device settings in advance, eliminating the need for manual configuration after delivery and reducing the time required for device setup.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple external devices are present around the electronic device, then the user can choose from more options, but it becomes difficult to select the specific purchased device without knowing its SSID
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device displays a graphic object representing the external device with key identification information (device name, model) received from the server. This visual feedback helps the user easily identify and select the specific purchased device among multiple devices without needing to know technical details like SSID, thereby simplifying the device selection process.
3Productivity
If the electronic device allows configuration changes before delivery, then the user can optimize settings in advance, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary between the electronic device and the external device. The server provides the external device information to the electronic device, which then displays it through a graphic object. This intermediary approach allows configuration changes before delivery without significantly increasing system complexity, as the server handles the data management and the electronic device only needs to display and transmit the information.

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.
