Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional device registration and scenario configuration methods are used, then device functionality is achieved, but user operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic device registration and scenario configuration through NFC interaction. When a user brings a mobile device near a target device, the system automatically completes pairing and configuration without requiring manual intervention for each step, allowing the system to serve itself in the configuration process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures scenario templates and device profiles in advance. When a user initiates configuration through NFC, the pre-prepared configuration data is automatically applied, eliminating the need for users to perform complex real-time configuration tasks.
2Ease of operation
If manual device registration and scenario configuration are required, then configuration accuracy can be maintained, but user learning costs increase and operation difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The NFC interaction serves as an intermediary that bridges the user and the complex configuration system. By using NFC as the trigger mechanism, the system translates a simple physical action into automated configuration processes, shielding users from underlying complexity while maintaining accurate device pairing and scenario setup.
3Productivity
If separate operations on mobile phone application and smart switch are required, then configuration precision can be ensured, but user operation time increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the mobile phone application and smart switch operations into a single unified configuration process triggered by NFC interaction. Instead of requiring separate manual operations on both devices, the NFC-triggered mechanism combines these operations into one seamless action, significantly reducing user operation time while maintaining configuration accuracy.

AI summary
This application provides a configuration method and an electronic device, and relates to the field of terminal technologies. In this application, scenario configuration of a device can be automatically completed by using a near field communication technology. This simplifies a user operation and improves user experience. The method includes: A first device determines, based on obtained information of a second device, that the second device approaches or is in contact with the first device. In response to approach or contact of the second device, the first device obtains a first scenario corresponding to a first operation performed by a user on a scenario configuration interface of the first device, where the first scenario is associated with behavior of controlling at least one third device. Then, the first device associates the first scenario with the second device.
