ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN NETWORK ON BASIS OF WI-FI DIRECT PROTOCOL, AND METHOD RELATED THERETO - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18468286 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN NETWORK ON BASIS OF WI-FI DIRECT PROTOCOL, AND METHOD RELATED THERETO

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device is described in this patent application. It consists of a display, a memory, a wireless communication circuit that supports Wi-Fi Direct protocol, and a processor connected to the display, memory, and wireless communication circuit. The processor can perform various functions related to wireless communication.

  • The processor can create a first group with an external electronic device based on a first channel attribute, such as frequency band or bandwidth, using the wireless communication circuit.
  • It can detect an event associated with power save and transmit a request message to the external electronic device through the wireless communication circuit, asking to change the first channel attribute to a second channel attribute that is partially different from the first one.
  • The processor can receive a response message from the external electronic device through the wireless communication circuit.
  • It can store profiles of the first group in the memory.
  • The processor can create a second group by using the profiles of the first group, the external electronic device, and the second channel attribute, along with a connection method defined in the Wi-Fi Direct protocol.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in electronic devices that require wireless communication, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and IoT devices.
  • It can enable seamless and efficient communication between devices in a group, allowing for easy sharing of data, media, and resources.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The technology addresses the issue of power consumption by detecting power save events and optimizing the channel attribute accordingly.
  • It solves the problem of interference by allowing devices to change the channel attribute based on the response from the external electronic device.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved power efficiency by optimizing the channel attribute based on power save events.
  • Enhanced wireless communication performance by reducing interference through dynamic channel attribute changes.
  • Simplified device grouping and connection establishment using profiles and the Wi-Fi Direct protocol.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device comprises a display, a memory, a wireless communication circuit supporting a Wi-Fi Direct protocol, and a processor operatively connected to the display, the memory, and the wireless communication circuit, wherein the processor may be configured to create, through the wireless communication circuit, a first group on the basis of a first channel attribute with an external electronic device, the first channel attribute including at least one of a frequency band or a bandwidth, detect an occurrence of an event associated with a power save, transmit, through the wireless communication circuit, a first request message to the external electronic device that requests to change the first channel attribute to a second channel attribute at least partially different from the first channel attribute, receive, through the wireless communication circuit, a first response message from the external electronic device, store profiles of the first group in the memory, and create a second group on the basis of the external electronic device and the second channel attribute by using profiles of the first group and a connection method of a persistent group defined in the Wi-Fi Direct protocol.
