Notification Module Merging Remote Control and Application Info
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote control methods for external electronic devices require executing a separate remote control program to control applications and receive notifications, which is inconvenient and difficult to identify notifications without the program being executed.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication circuit, processor, and memory that receives information about external applications, configures them as remote control applications, and displays notifications without needing a separate remote control program, allowing direct control and notification management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a separate remote control program is installed and executed to control external applications, then remote control functionality is achieved, but device complexity and operational inconvenience increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the remote control functionality directly into the notification system by integrating application information reception, notification display, and control execution within a single notification module, eliminating the need for a separate remote control program
Solution Approach 2:
The notification system is designed to perform multiple functions: displaying notifications, providing application information, enabling remote control, and managing external applications all through a single integrated system, making the notification system universal
2Reliability
If a separate remote control program is required to receive notifications, then notification functionality is achieved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to additional execution steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines notification reception and application control functionality into a single integrated system, so that notifications can be received and acted upon without requiring a separate remote control program to be executed
3Productivity
If remote control program execution is required to control applications, then control functionality is achieved, but loss of time occurs due to additional execution steps
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by receiving and processing application information in advance through notifications, so that when control is needed, the application is already identified and ready for immediate execution without time-consuming program launches

AI summary
An electronic device may include a display, a communication circuit, a processor operatively connected to the display and the communication circuit, and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: receive information relating to at least one application installed in an external electronic device from the external electronic device through the communication circuit; configure, on the basis of the received information, the at least one application as a remote control application controlled by the electronic device; receive a notification message related to the remote control application from the external electronic device through the communication circuit; and display, on the display, a first object indicating reception of the notification message. Various other embodiments are also possible.
