ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR GROUPING EXTERNAL DEVICES BY SPACE IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18213467 Titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR GROUPING EXTERNAL DEVICES BY SPACE IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that has a communication module, a depth camera module, and a processor. The device can obtain distance and direction information of an external device using the communication module, and it can also obtain distance information between the device and an object in a specific space using the depth camera module. If the external device is within a certain distance range, the device can identify that the external device is in the specific space and group it as a device in that space.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a first communication module, a depth camera module, and a processor. The processor may be configured to: obtain distance information and direction information of a first external device by using the first communication module; and obtain first distance information between the electronic device and an object in a first space that distinguishes the first space from other spaces, by using the depth camera module, When it is identified that the first external device is located within a distance range indicating the first distance information, on the basis of the distance information and direction information of the first external device and the first distance information, the electronic device can identify that the first external device is located in the first space; and group the first external device as a device in the first space. Various other embodiments may be provided.
