Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when opening and managing various content types on electronic devices, as they need to select and execute corresponding applications, leading to a cumbersome experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a contents management function that generates a contents list, allows selection of list entries, reads content, creates related content, and generates tags, enabling easy access and organization of content through a user-friendly interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users select and execute corresponding applications to open contents in various formats, then contents can be opened and managed, but user convenience deteriorates due to cumbersome operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple application-specific content management operations into a single unified contents management application. This unified application provides a common interface for managing different content types (images, videos, documents, etc.) that were previously scattered across multiple format-specific applications, thereby improving user convenience by eliminating the need to switch between applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The contents management application implements multi-functionality by providing universal operations (view, copy, move, delete, etc.) that work across multiple content types and formats within a single application. This universal interface allows users to manage diverse contents without needing to learn or switch between application-specific interfaces, directly addressing the ease of operation improvement.
2Ease of operation
If a unified contents management interface is implemented, then user convenience improves, but the system must handle multiple content types and formats which increases processing complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer in the form of a contents management application that sits between the user interface and the underlying content storage system. This intermediary handles the complexity of multiple content types and formats by providing a standardized interface, while internally managing the diverse content through systematic organization and processing mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments content management into distinct functional modules within the unified application, such as content detection, content classification, content display, and content operation handling. This segmentation allows the system to manage multiple content types through organized, modular processing steps, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining unified access.
3Productivity
If related contents are automatically created and organized with tags, then content organization improves, but processing time and system resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by automatically detecting and analyzing content characteristics when content is first added to the system. During this initial processing, the system pre-generates tags, identifies related contents, and establishes organizational relationships. This preliminary organization reduces subsequent processing time when users need to access or manage the content, as the heavy lifting of analysis and categorization is already completed.

AI summary
A method for contents management in an electronic device can include generating a contents list, based on a user input, detecting selection of a contents list entry in the contents list, and creating one or more contents related to a content of the selected contents list entry, when creating the one or more related contents, generating a tag based on at least part of the content corresponding to the selected contents list entry, adding the tag to the one or more related contents, and adding a contents list entry of the one or more related contents comprising the tag, to the contents list.
