METHOD FOR PROVIDING USER INTERFACE BASED ON LOCATIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17978355 titled 'METHOD FOR PROVIDING USER INTERFACE BASED ON LOCATIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that can detect and communicate with other electronic devices in its proximity. The device can share operation and status information with these external devices and provide a user interface based on the location relationship, operation information, status information, and the number of external devices.

• The electronic device has a communication module, display, and processor.
• The processor can detect nearby electronic devices through the communication module.
• It can identify the location relationship with the detected devices.
• When detecting these devices, it can share operation and status information with them.
• It can provide a user interface for the electronic device and each external device based on the location relationship, operation information, status information, and the number of external devices.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Smart home systems that can communicate and coordinate with various devices.
• Collaborative work environments where multiple devices can interact and share information.
• Gaming systems that can connect and communicate with other players' devices.
• Healthcare devices that can share data and information with each other.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Simplifies the process of connecting and communicating between electronic devices.
• Enables seamless integration and coordination between different devices.
• Enhances user experience by providing a unified interface for multiple devices.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved efficiency and convenience in using multiple devices together.
• Enhanced collaboration and communication between devices.
• Enables new possibilities for interconnected and smart systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a communication module; a display; and a processor operatively connected to the communication module and the display, wherein the processor is configured to: detect at least one external electronic device in proximity to the electronic device through the communication module, identify a location relationship with the at least one external electronic device, when detecting the at least one electronic device in proximity to the electronic device, share operation information and/or status information with the at least one external electronic device, and provide an interface for the electronic device and each of the at least one external electronic device, based on at least one of the location relationship, the operation information, the status information, and a number of the at least one external electronic device.
