ELECTRONIC DEVICE, NETWORK SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18080699 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, NETWORK SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device, network system, and control method that aim to simplify network connections. The electronic device receives network connection information from a connected device and updates it to reduce the hop count, which represents the number of network devices between the connected device and the network. This updated information is stored in the device's memory. Additionally, when the device receives a beacon message from a device not connected to the network, it transmits the updated network connection information to enable the second device to connect to the network.
- The electronic device receives network connection information from a connected device.
- The device updates the network connection information to reduce the hop count.
- The updated information is stored in the device's memory.
- The device can transmit the updated network connection information to a device not connected to the network.
- This enables the second device to connect to the network.
Potential Applications
- Simplifying network connections for various electronic devices.
- Facilitating the connection of devices that are not initially connected to a network.
Problems Solved
- Reducing the complexity of network connections.
- Enabling devices not connected to a network to easily connect.
Benefits
- Streamlined network connection process.
- Improved accessibility for devices to connect to a network.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are electronic device, a network system, and a control method thereof. An electronic device according to the present disclosure comprises a memory, a communication interface, and a processor which: when receiving network connection information including a hop count from a first external device connected to a network, updates the network connection information to reduce the hop count, and stores the same in the memory; and when receiving a beacon message from a second external device that is not connected to the network, transmits the updated network connection information to the second external device by using the communication interface so that the second external device can be connected to the network.
