ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR UPDATING EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18500909 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR UPDATING EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that can receive and transmit updating files for external electronic devices based on certain conditions being met.
- Communication circuit, memory, and processor in the electronic device
- Processor receives updating file from first external device and transmits it to second external device
- Processor checks if second external device needs updating and if designated condition for transmitting file is satisfied
- File is transmitted to second external device if conditions are met
Potential Applications
- Remote software updates for electronic devices
- Automated firmware updates for IoT devices
Problems Solved
- Ensures that external devices are updated efficiently and securely
- Reduces the need for manual intervention in updating processes
Benefits
- Streamlines the updating process for multiple external devices
- Enhances security by verifying conditions before transmitting files
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, an electronic device may comprise: a communication circuit, a memory, and at least one processor operatively connected to the communication circuit and the memory, wherein on or more of the ate least one processor is configured to: receive an updating file for updating a second external electronic device from a first external electronic device based on establishing a communication connection with the first external electronic device through the communication circuit; identify whether the second external electronic device needs to be updated, based on the electronic device being safely mounted on the second external electronic device; identify whether a designated condition for transmitting the updating file to the second external electronic device is satisfied, based on state information of the second external electronic device and/or state information of the electronic device based on the second external electronic device needing to be updated; and transmit the updating file received from the first external electronic device to the second external electronic device based on the designated condition for transmitting the updating file to the second external electronic device being satisfied.
