ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18140755 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device and its method, which includes a sensor, a communicator for wireless communication, and a controller. The device detects the coupling of an accessory based on the sensor output and controls the communicator to perform pairing with the accessory that has the highest advertising signal strength among multiple accessories of the same type. It then determines if the paired accessory corresponds to the coupled accessory based on received state information.
- The electronic device has a sensor, communicator, and controller.
- The device detects when an accessory is connected based on the sensor output.
- It performs pairing with the accessory that has the strongest advertising signal among similar accessories.
- The device verifies if the paired accessory corresponds to the connected accessory based on state information.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Smartphones and other electronic devices can use this method to automatically pair with accessories such as headphones, speakers, or smartwatches.
- Home automation systems can benefit from this technology by automatically pairing with different sensors or control devices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the pairing process between electronic devices and accessories, eliminating the need for manual setup.
- Reduces user effort and frustration by automatically connecting the device to the appropriate accessory.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience by seamlessly connecting devices and accessories.
- Time-saving as the pairing process is automated.
- Reduces the risk of pairing with the wrong accessory, ensuring proper functionality.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device and method thereof. The electronic device includes a sensor; a communicator including circuitry configured to perform wireless communication; and a controller configured to, in response to detection of coupling of the electronic device to an accessory of the electronic device based on an output of the at least one sensor, control the communicator to execute pairing according to a highest strength of an advertising signal among a plurality of accessories of a same type as a type of the accessory coupled to the electronic device, and determine whether a paired accessory, which is paired with the communicator according to the pairing, corresponds to the accessory coupled to the electronic device based on whether state information received from the paired accessory corresponds to state information of the electronic device.
