ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZING OUTPUT TIME POINT OF CONTENT OUTPUT BY EXTERNAL DEVICES AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17429202 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZING OUTPUT TIME POINT OF CONTENT OUTPUT BY EXTERNAL DEVICES AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device that can transmit content to external devices through different communication circuits. The device includes a processor that can analyze the time taken by each external device to process the content and adjust the transmission time accordingly.

  • The electronic device has multiple communication circuits for transmitting content to external devices.
  • The processor in the device can identify the time taken by each external device to process the content.
  • Based on a comparison between the processing times, the device can control the transmission time to each external device.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in multimedia streaming devices to optimize the transmission of content to different devices.
  • It can be used in smart home systems to ensure synchronized content playback on multiple devices.
  • The technology can be implemented in video conferencing systems to manage the transmission of audio and video streams to different participants.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of uneven processing times among different external devices.
  • It addresses the issue of content being transmitted too early or too late to certain devices, causing synchronization issues.
  • The system ensures efficient utilization of network resources by adjusting transmission times based on device processing capabilities.

Benefits

  • Improved user experience by ensuring synchronized content playback across multiple devices.
  • Optimal utilization of network resources, reducing congestion and improving overall network performance.
  • Enhanced efficiency in content delivery by adapting transmission times based on device capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is an electronic device including a first communication circuit configured to transmit content to a first external electronic device through first communication, a second communication circuit configured to transmit content to a second electronic device connected to a second external electronic device through second communication, and a processor configured to identify a first time spent for processing a content output operation by the first external electronic device, identify a second time spent for processing a content output operation by the second external electronic device, and control a time for which the content is transmitted to the first external electronic device and/or the second electronic device, based on a result of a comparison between the first time and the second time.
