ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR: abstract simplified (18208092)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18208092 Titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes an electronic device that includes sensors, a communication circuit, memory, and a processor. The processor is responsible for identifying the internal temperature of the device using the sensors and providing this data to an external device. It can also receive a prediction model for the surface temperature of the device from the external device. Using this model and information about the location of different modules stored in memory, the processor can predict the surface temperature of the device. Based on this prediction, it can select which heat sources within the device should be controlled for heating purposes.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device, including: at least one sensor; a communication circuit; a memory; and at least one processor operationally connected with the at least one sensor, the communication circuit, and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: identify an internal temperature of the electronic device using the at least sensor; provide, to an external device, internal temperature data associated with the internal temperature of the electronic device; receive a surface temperature prediction model for predicting a surface temperature of the electronic device from the external device; predict the surface temperature of the electronic device based on the surface temperature prediction model and information associated with a module location, the information being stored in the memory; and select at least one heat source to enter heating control from among a plurality of modules of the electronic device based on the predicted surface temperature.
