Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies lack an efficient method for transmitting information from peripheral objects to external devices during interactive services, such as messenger or voice call services, without interrupting the ongoing service and in real-time.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device obtains information from peripheral objects via short-distance communication methods like NFC, RFID, or BLE, generates relevant information, and transmits it to external devices using existing interactive services, converting data formats as needed to ensure seamless transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If information is transmitted from peripheral objects to external devices during interactive services, then information sharing capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharing capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments information transmission into two distinct paths: (1) short-distance communication from peripheral objects to the electronic device, and (2) interactive service-based transmission from the electronic device to external devices. This segmentation allows each component to operate independently, reducing overall system complexity while enabling versatile information sharing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic device serves multiple functions: it acts as both a peripheral object receiver (via short-distance communication) and an information transmitter (via interactive services). This multi-functionality enables the system to share information from various peripheral objects to multiple external devices through a single intermediary, reducing the need for dedicated transmission channels and lowering system complexity.

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

2Loss of time

If real-time information transmission is implemented during interactive services, then information freshness is improved, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation freshnessVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system utilizes ongoing interactive services as the continuous transmission channel for peripheral object information. Instead of establishing separate intermittent transmission sessions, the peripheral information is injected into the already-active communication stream between the electronic device and external devices. This continuity approach ensures real-time information delivery without the additional overhead of initiating separate communication sessions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges peripheral object information transmission with existing interactive service communication. By combining these two information streams into a single transmission channel, the system achieves real-time information delivery while avoiding the energy overhead of maintaining separate communication sessions. The interactive service acts as a carrier that transports both types of information simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If data format conversion is performed for seamless transmission, then compatibility is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecompatibilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device performs data format conversion in advance, before the information reaches the external device. By preprocessing the peripheral object's data into a compatible format during the initial reception phase, the system ensures seamless transmission without requiring real-time conversion at the destination. This preliminary action eliminates compatibility barriers while minimizing the impact on overall transmission timing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method and system for transmitting information which is obtained from a peripheral object when an interactive service between devices is performed, and a device, are provided. The information transmission method includes: obtaining first information which is stored in a peripheral object of an electronic device via short distance communication with the peripheral object when an interactive service is performed between the electronic device and the at least one external device; generating second information that is to be transmitted to the at least one external device based on the obtained first information; and transmitting the second information to the at least one external device via the interactive service.
