ELECTRONIC DEVICE CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING NEIGHBORING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18226970 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING NEIGHBORING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for controlling a mobile device by interacting with neighboring devices through a user interface.
- The method involves displaying a user interface screen with multiple elements, detecting user inputs on specific elements, identifying identification codes associated with those elements, detecting neighboring devices based on the identification codes, displaying a window with UI elements related to the neighboring devices, and transmitting control commands to the selected neighboring device based on user inputs.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in smart home systems, where users can control various devices in their home through a mobile device interface.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of seamlessly controlling multiple devices in proximity using a single mobile device, simplifying the user experience and enhancing convenience.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved user control over nearby devices, increased efficiency in managing multiple devices, and a more intuitive user interface for device control.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be utilized in home automation systems, entertainment systems, and industrial settings where multiple devices need to be controlled remotely.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity to control nearby devices through a mobile device interface.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology ensure secure communication between the mobile device and neighboring devices?
The abstract does not provide details on the security measures implemented to protect the communication between devices.
What types of UI elements are supported by this method for controlling neighboring devices?
The abstract does not specify the range of UI elements that can be used to interact with neighboring devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A mobile device and a method of controlling the same. A control method according to an embodiment comprises displaying a user interface (UI) screen which includes a plurality of UI elements, detecting a first user input associated with a first UI element among the plurality of UI elements, identifying one or more identification codes associated with the first UI element based on the detecting of the first user input, detecting one or more neighboring devices based on the one or more identification codes, displaying a window which includes one or more UI elements associated with the one or more neighboring devices, detecting a second user input associated with a second UI element among the one or more UI elements, determining a neighboring device associated with the second UI element, among the one or more neighboring devices, as a controlled device controllable through the second UI element, based on detecting of the second user input, and transmitting a control command related to the first UI element to the neighboring device determined as the controlled device.
