Master-Slave Device Information Sharing Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices face inconvenience in information sharing, as users must separately set up and manage output functions across devices, making it difficult to check or transmit information between them.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor and memory that checks specified conditions to control the output state of another device, allowing for situation-specific information sharing by transmitting collection information to an output device when conditions are met.

1Ease of operation
If information output functions are separately performed on each electronic device, then each device can independently output information, but it becomes inconvenient for users to check information across multiple devices and requires complex settings for information sharing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges information output functions across multiple electronic devices by establishing a master-device/slave-device relationship. The master device consolidates control over information sharing settings, while slave devices automatically receive and display information based on master device commands. This eliminates the need for separate configuration on each device and enables convenient cross-device information checking through unified control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling a single electronic device to serve as both an information source and an information display terminal. The system allows information to be collected from one device, processed by the master device, and output to various slave devices including displays, speakers, and other electronic devices. This universal approach simplifies user operations by providing consistent information access across different device types without requiring device-specific settings.
2Extent of automation
If multiple electronic devices are connected for information sharing, then information can be transmitted between devices, but automatic control of output states based on situations is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the master device continuously monitors the states of slave devices and automatically adjusts information output based on received feedback. When a slave device receives information, it sends acknowledgment feedback to the master device, which then determines whether to continue transmitting or stop based on the situation. This automated feedback loop enables situation-specific information sharing without manual intervention, enhancing both automation and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic control where the master device can change the operational state of slave devices in real-time based on situational requirements. The system dynamically adjusts which slave devices are active, what information they display, and when to stop outputting information. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to respond to changing situations automatically, providing versatile situation-specific information sharing while maintaining high automation through centralized control.
