Network-Triggered Permission Screens for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems require users to repeatedly agree to information transmission permissions, even when network connections are established, leading to user inconvenience and unnecessary operations.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device is configured to display permission screens only when connected to a network and to manage permission message versions based on regional updates, ensuring agreements are obtained efficiently and avoiding redundant user interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the permission screen is displayed irrespective of network connection status, then the system can ensure that permission is obtained before information transmission, but the user convenience deteriorates due to redundant permission operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its behavior based on network connection status. When connected to a network, the system automatically checks whether permission acquisition is needed based on whether the electronic device has previously connected to a network, thereby avoiding redundant permission screens and improving user convenience while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of permission screen display based on network connection status and historical connection information. By detecting whether the device has previously connected to a network, the system determines whether to display the permission screen, thus avoiding unnecessary permission operations and improving ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the permission screen is displayed for all users regardless of network usage, then the system maintains consistent permission collection, but user convenience deteriorates due to unnecessary operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different permission collection strategies based on local conditions (network connection status and historical connection data). For users who have previously connected to a network, the system skips permission screen display, while for new users or those without network connection, the system displays the permission screen, thus improving user convenience while maintaining adaptability.
3Device complexity
If the system checks permission status without network connection, then the system can manage permission states, but it cannot accurately determine whether permission update is needed
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses network connection status as an intermediary indicator to determine whether permission update is needed. By checking whether the electronic device has connected to a network, the system indirectly determines the appropriate permission management action, thus achieving accurate permission update detection without requiring direct complex permission status verification.

AI summary
An electronic device includes a connection control unit for controlling the electronic device to connect with a network communicable with a specific external system, and a display control unit for performing control to display a reception screen for receiving an operation representing user agreement with a permission matter regarding transmission of information from the electronic device to a transmission destination, based on the electronic device being connected with the network by the connection control unit, and not to display the reception screen in a case where the electronic device is not connected with the network.
