Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable electronic devices often receive information regardless of their states or the main electronic devices' states, leading to user inconvenience and unnecessary power consumption, and existing systems fail to efficiently utilize the characteristics of wearable devices for configuration setting changes.
Innovation Solution
A wearable electronic device equipped with an input module and communication module that allows users to manipulate configuration settings of a main electronic device, transmitting control signals to adjust settings based on device and user states, and synchronizing settings between devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If wearable electronic devices receive information uniformly regardless of device states, then information transmission is simplified, but user convenience deteriorates and power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic information transmission by having the main electronic device determine whether to transmit information based on the current state of the wearable device. The transmission mechanism adapts to different states (e.g., whether the wearable device is being worn), making the system flexible rather than static, thereby improving user convenience without significantly complicating the transmission mechanism.
2Device complexity
If wearable electronic devices receive information uniformly regardless of device states, then information transmission is simplified, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically controls information transmission based on the wearable device's state. When the wearable device is not being worn, the main electronic device determines not to transmit information, thereby reducing unnecessary power consumption while maintaining a relatively simple transmission mechanism.
3Device complexity
If main electronic device sends information uniformly without considering wearable device characteristics, then transmission process is simplified, but efficiency of utilizing wearable device characteristics deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by having the main electronic device identify and transmit information suitable for the specific characteristics of each wearable device. Different wearable devices receive different types of information based on their individual characteristics, optimizing the utilization of each device's capabilities while maintaining a relatively simple transmission process.
