ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING WI-FI DIRECT GROUP COMMUNICATION, AND METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18229458 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING WI-FI DIRECT GROUP COMMUNICATION, AND METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device is described that enables direct communication between devices through a Wi-Fi direct connection. The device includes a communication module, a memory, and at least one processor. The processor is configured to control the communication module to generate a direct communication group, where an external device operates as a group owner and the electronic device operates as a group client. The processor can also control the communication module to transmit a schedule change request message to the external device, requesting a change in the operation schedule of the direct communication group. The device can receive a response message from the external device, including operation schedule information based on the schedule change request. The communication module is then controlled to perform wireless communication according to the operation schedule information.
- The electronic device enables direct communication between devices through a Wi-Fi direct connection.
- The device can operate as a group client while an external device operates as a group owner.
- The device can request a change in the operation schedule of the direct communication group.
- The device can receive operation schedule information from the external device in response to the schedule change request.
- The device can perform wireless communication according to the received operation schedule information.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Smart home systems that allow direct communication between devices without the need for a central hub.
- Industrial automation systems that enable direct communication between machines for efficient coordination.
- Collaborative work environments where devices can communicate directly for seamless collaboration.
- Internet of Things (IoT) applications that require direct communication between devices for real-time data exchange.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Eliminates the need for a central hub or server for device communication, reducing complexity and potential points of failure.
- Enables faster and more efficient communication between devices by bypassing the need for internet connectivity.
- Provides a secure and private communication channel between devices without relying on external networks.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and stability of device communication.
- Reduced latency and faster response times due to direct communication.
- Enhanced privacy and security by eliminating the need for external networks.
- Simplified setup and configuration process for device communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes: a communication module; a memory; and at least one processor operatively connected to the communication module and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: control the communication module to generate a direct communication group in which an external electronic device operates as a group owner and the electronic device operates as a group client through a Wi-Fi direct connection with the external electronic device, to perform wireless communication; control the communication module to transmit, to the external electronic device, a schedule change request message requesting to change an operation schedule of the direct communication group, based on a change in an operating state, related to wireless communication through the direct communication group, of at least one of the at least one processor and the communication module; receive, through the communication module from the external electronic device, a response message including operation schedule information configured based on the schedule change request message; and control the communication module to perform wireless communication according to the operation schedule information of the response message received from the external electronic device.
