ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VIBRATION OUTPUT THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18162868 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VIBRATION OUTPUT THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that can generate vibration output based on various vibration-related situation information. The device includes a display, a communication module, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a vibration output request, detect vibration-related situation information, and generate vibration output information corresponding to the detected situation.
- The device can detect information about external electronic devices connected to it.
- It can also detect whether a specific application is being executed or a specific function of the device is being executed.
- The vibration output information can include details such as vibration intensity, vibration pattern, output device selection information, and priorities in the vibration-related situation information.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in smartphones or wearable devices to provide different vibration patterns or intensities based on the connected devices or running applications.
- It can be utilized in gaming consoles to enhance the gaming experience by providing vibration feedback based on specific game actions or events.
- The technology can also be applied in medical devices to provide vibration alerts or notifications based on specific patient conditions or device functions.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of limited or generic vibration feedback in electronic devices by providing customizable and context-aware vibration output.
- It addresses the issue of not being able to differentiate between different vibration alerts or notifications based on their importance or relevance.
- The technology solves the problem of not being able to provide vibration feedback based on external device connections or specific application or function executions.
Benefits
- Users can have a more personalized and immersive experience with their electronic devices through customized vibration patterns and intensities.
- The technology allows for better differentiation and prioritization of vibration alerts or notifications, improving user awareness and responsiveness.
- It enhances the overall usability and functionality of electronic devices by providing vibration feedback based on external device connections and specific application or function executions.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a communication module, a memory, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to receive a vibration output request, detect vibration-related situation information, and generate vibration output information corresponding to the detected vibration-related situation information. The vibration-related situation information includes at least one from among information on at least one external electronic device connected to the electronic device, whether a specific application is being executed, and whether a specific function of the electronic device is being executed, and the vibration output information may include at least one from among vibration intensity, a vibration pattern, output device selection information, and priorities in the vibration-related situation information.
