ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING OPERATING STATE OF PLURALITY OF DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18370222 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING OPERATING STATE OF PLURALITY OF DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device that can receive user utterances and identify external devices to perform actions based on the user's input.

  • The device receives information from one external device and identifies another external device to perform an action.
  • If the two devices are not within a specified range, the device determines a target external device to notify and transmits a command for notification.
  • Additionally, the device transmits a command to the second external device to perform the action corresponding to the user utterance.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as home automation, smart devices, and communication systems.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of coordinating actions between different external devices based on user input, even when they are not in close proximity.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in performing tasks, seamless communication between devices, and enhanced user experience.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Smart Home Integration: Enhancing home automation systems by enabling seamless communication between different devices."
  • "Communication Systems: Improving coordination between devices in communication systems for better user experience."

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be a system that allows devices to communicate and perform actions based on user input, but without the specific feature of determining a target device for notification when devices are out of range.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device determine the target external device for notification?

The abstract does not provide details on the specific method or algorithm used to determine the target external device for notification.

What types of actions can the external devices perform based on the user utterance?

The abstract mentions that the external devices can perform at least a part of an action corresponding to the user utterance, but it does not specify the range or complexity of actions that can be executed.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is an electronic device that may receive information corresponding to a user utterance from a first external electronic device, identify a second external electronic device to perform at least a part of an action corresponding to the user utterance, based on determining that the first external electronic device and the second external electronic device are not located within a specified range: determine a target external electronic device to provide a first notification and transmit a command to the target external electronic device to provide the first notification, and transmit a command to the second external electronic device to perform the part of the action corresponding to the user utterance.
