Solution Overview

Problem

Existing V2X communication systems face inefficiencies due to the broadcast of unnecessary messages, leading to resource waste, as they lack effective measures for selective communication with external electronic devices.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a processor and communication circuit that allows for user-input-driven selection of external devices, broadcasting connection requests with specific protocol and channel information, enabling targeted communication based on user-defined criteria.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If V2X communication systems broadcast messages using standard protocols, then communication coverage and compatibility are improved, but resource waste increases due to unnecessary messages being delivered to all external electronic devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication compatibilityVSAvoidresource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the broadcast message into two distinct parts: a first message using a first protocol that can be received by all external electronic devices (ensuring compatibility), and a second message using a second protocol that contains specific connection information for targeted communication (reducing resource waste). This segmentation allows the system to maintain broad compatibility while efficiently directing resources only to relevant devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If V2X communication systems broadcast connection requests to all external devices, then communication reach is improved, but communication efficiency deteriorates due to handling responses from unnecessary devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reachVSAvoidcommunication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by first broadcasting a connection request using a first protocol to identify potential communication targets, then selectively establishing second protocol-based communication only with devices that respond positively. This preliminary filtering step ensures broad reach while improving efficiency by avoiding unnecessary communication setup with irrelevant devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If the system uses a single communication protocol for all messages, then system complexity is reduced, but communication precision deteriorates due to inability to selectively target specific external electronic devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotocol complexityVSAvoidcommunication targeting precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using different communication protocols for different purposes: a first protocol for broad broadcasting and device identification, and a second protocol for precise targeted communication. This allows the system to maintain simplicity where needed while achieving precision where required, with each protocol optimized for its specific function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An electronic device includes at least one communication circuit, and a processor electrically connected with the at least one communication circuit. The processor may be configured to select an external electronic device in response to a user input, broadcast, through the at least one communication circuit using a first protocol, a connection request for a second protocol-based communication with the external electronic device, receive a response to the connection request from the external electronic device through the at least one communication circuit, and perform communication with the external electronic device through the at least one communication circuit using a second protocol, based on connection information about the external electronic device for the second protocol-based communication, the connection information being contained in the response.
