ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF FORMING WI-FI PEER TO PEER (P2P) GROUP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18485503 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF FORMING WI-FI PEER TO PEER (P2P) GROUP
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for forming a Wi-Fi P2P (Peer-to-Peer) group between two electronic devices. The method involves obtaining information for a Wi-Fi P2P connection to a second external electronic device while the first electronic device is already forming a P2P group with a first external electronic device. The first electronic device then generates a second P2P group with the second external electronic device by obtaining a group owner (GO) permission, while still maintaining the first P2P group based on the obtained information and the role of the first electronic device in the first P2P group.
- The method involves forming a Wi-Fi P2P group between two electronic devices.
- The first electronic device obtains information for a Wi-Fi P2P connection to a second external electronic device.
- While the first electronic device is already in a P2P group with a first external electronic device, it generates a second P2P group with the second external electronic device.
- The first electronic device obtains a group owner (GO) permission to form the second P2P group.
- The first electronic device maintains the first P2P group while forming the second P2P group based on the obtained information and its role in the first P2P group.
Potential Applications:
- Wireless communication between electronic devices in close proximity.
- Sharing files, media, or data between devices without the need for a central network or internet connection.
- Collaborative work or gaming between multiple devices.
Problems Solved:
- Simplifies the process of forming Wi-Fi P2P groups between electronic devices.
- Allows for seamless switching between multiple P2P groups without disrupting existing connections.
- Enables efficient communication and data sharing between devices without relying on a central network.
Benefits:
- Improved convenience and flexibility in establishing wireless connections between devices.
- Enhanced collaboration and interaction between multiple devices.
- Reduced reliance on internet connectivity for local communication and data sharing.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example method of forming a Wi-Fi P2P group of an electronic device includes obtaining information for Wi-Fi P2P connection to a second external electronic device while the electronic device forms a first P2P group with a first external electronic device through a Wi-Fi P2P connection and generating a second P2P group with the second external electronic device by obtaining a group owner (GO) permission while maintaining the first P2P group based on the information and a role of the electronic device in the first P2P group.
