Solution Overview

Problem

Portable electronic devices primarily offer basic messenger services for sharing character and content information, lacking the capability to provide various additional services for user convenience, such as sharing application settings and real-time data.

Innovation Solution

The method and apparatus enable messenger services in electronic devices to transmit and receive application setting and execution information, as well as share real-time data, through I/O controllers and communication units, allowing for enhanced functionalities like data sharing and application management between devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If basic messenger service is provided for sharing character and content information, then the service is simple and easy to operate, but various additional services for user convenience cannot be provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice functionalityVSAvoidservice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The messenger service is enhanced to perform multiple functions beyond basic text and content sharing. The system now supports application setting information sharing, execution information transmission, and real-time data exchange, allowing a single messenger platform to serve diverse communication needs across different application scenarios

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If application setting information and execution information are transmitted through messenger service, then various additional services can be provided, but the data transmission requirements and system capabilities increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice functionalityVSAvoiddata transmission volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only the essential configuration and execution parameters needed for application functionality rather than transmitting complete application packages or excessive data. This selective transmission of critical information reduces data volume while maintaining service capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
