Multi-Account Storage Interface for Unified File Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in comprehensively managing data and files across different accounts in electronic devices due to the lack of a unified view of storage spaces, requiring authentication for each account, which increases operational load and reduces convenience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device and method that provides an execution screen displaying memory usage information for each account, allowing users to manage files more efficiently by identifying and analyzing data across separate storage areas associated with different accounts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If authentication is required for each account to identify file information, then account security is improved, but operational load increases and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments file information display by account, allowing the system to present file listings from multiple accounts in a unified interface without requiring authentication for each individual account. This segmentation approach maintains security boundaries while improving operational convenience.
2Reliability
If separate storage spaces are allocated for different accounts, then data security and account isolation are improved, but the complexity of managing multiple storage spaces increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate storage spaces from different accounts into a single unified display interface. The system combines file listings from multiple account storage spaces while maintaining the underlying separation, thus reducing management complexity while preserving data security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal file management interface that can handle and display files from multiple accounts simultaneously. This multi-functional interface serves all account storage spaces through a single unified system, reducing the complexity of managing separate storage spaces.
3Ease of operation
If a unified view of storage spaces across accounts is provided, then user convenience is improved, but the ability to maintain strict account isolation may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary file management system that mediates between the user's need for a unified view and the requirement for strict account isolation. This intermediary layer presents files from multiple accounts in a unified interface while maintaining the underlying account boundaries and security protocols.

AI summary
An electronic device may include a display, a memory, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to identify a first account and a second account associated with a user of the electronic device, store at least one first file associated with the first account in a first area of the memory, store at least one second file associated with the second account in a second area of the memory, identify a first memory usage of the first area of the memory associated with the first account, based on the first account, identify a second memory usage of the second area of the memory associated with the second account, based on the first account, and display a first execution screen including first information about the first memory usage and second information about the second memory usage on the display.
