Background technique

There are certain areas in need of improvement in many events related to people's daily life. These events include:

(A) Group buying behavior:

Most merchants are more willing to offer a lower or discounted price for consumers to purchase a specific product when the consumer is willing to purchase a larger amount of the specific product. Under such incentives, consumers have also learned to use group buying behaviors to purchase the specific commodities they want to purchase in order to obtain relatively low price concessions.

However, it is not easy to organize a sufficient number of consumers, especially when consumers come across a specific product they want to buy while shopping but are afraid of the high price of the specific product. If there are other consumers who also want to buy the specific product and the number is enough for the store to provide a group purchase discount price nearby, and these consumers can be organized, the consumer will be reduced to buy the product at a discounted group purchase price. The difficulty of a particular commodity.

However, when the user of the mobile electronic device meets other people related to his to-do list, it is not easy to promptly remind the user of the to-do list corresponding to the met person, and it is easy for the user to miss A good opportunity to tackle to-dos.

(C) Contact list:

The mobile electronic device can store a plurality of group contact lists in its included database, wherein the mobile electronic device can be a smart phone/tablet computer. The indexes of each group contact list (Groupcontactlist) may include family, friends, colleagues, partners with special expertise, and emergency contacts. Each contact in the group contact list can periodically maintain and update the data in the group contact list. When a contact person updates the group contact list, other contacts in the group contact list must manually update the data in the group contact list stored by themselves, so that the group contact People lists are difficult to maintain in the correctness of the data.

In addition, when a contact tries to update the group contact list, complex manual operations can easily be required at inopportune moments, such as complicated input to update the contact when the contact is busy. The status of the group's contact list.

(D) Media file operation

Generally speaking, a portable digital media player (Digitalmedia player, DMP) that can be a mobile electronic device can allow its user to: (a) transfer a compressed media file from a computer to a mobile electronic device, the transfer process is executed by an associated transfer management program installed on the computer and used to establish a physical connection to the computer, wherein the physical connection may be implemented by a Universal Serial Bus (Universalserialbus) cable; (b) the compressed file stored in a non-volatile memory; (c) decode the compressed file according to various compression algorithms; (d) convert the compressed or uncompressed digital file into an analog data stream and potentially process the The signal in the analog data stream has enhanced the audio and video effects in the analog file; and (f) produces low-distortion audio and video, which can be played and paused in real time or according to user needs , fast-forward playback, rewind playback, skip playback, or repeat playback.

In addition, in an audio digital media player (such as iPodNano), the mobile electronic device may include a relatively small digital playback window, and the digital playback window may provide relevant information about the audio files stored in the mobile electronic device, wherein the relevant The information may include a song title or a composer name. The mobile electronic device can also be used to browse or adjust the order of multiple audio files stored by itself.

However, the combination of audio/video files is very difficult for the user of the mobile electronic device in terms of data transmission or advanced grouping or sorting operations, unless the mobile electronic device is connected to a computer for the user to operate. Wherein the computer does not allow the user to insert new content on the digital media player or modify the original existing content. For example, when the digital media player is not physically connected to the computer, the user cannot change the playing sequence of the audio/video files stored in the digital media player. In addition, non-technical users are often subject to many restrictions when generating, editing, and managing customized playlists (that is, fixed playback sequences). However, users can develop or use different playlists on mobile electronic devices. Variety of customizable playlists.

In addition, the size of the screen and the size of the user interface of the mobile electronic device are also very limited, which causes the user to adapt to the complex and multi-functional buttons on the non-touch screen when operating, and makes non-professional general users less willing To browse, modify, and share the audio files stored in the digital media player it holds.

The implementation manners of the above-mentioned wireless services will be briefly presented in the following paragraphs.

In the following description, a local user will be assumed to hold a first mobile electronic device, and other mobile electronic devices within the effective detection range of the first mobile electronic device will be assumed to be at least one or more A second mobile electronic device.

(1) Organization method for group buying behavior

Most merchants will offer a lower price to sell a specific product when consumers are trying to buy a large amount of that product. In order to purchase the specific product at a relatively low price, consumers have also learned to purchase the specific product through organized group buying behavior reciprocity.

However, it is not easy to immediately organize enough people to provide a group buying price, especially when a consumer encounters a specific product that he wants to buy but finds that the price of the specific product is too high. If at this time, consumers can find other people who are also willing to buy the specific commodity around them, it is the most beneficial way to organize these people to win preferential prices from the merchants to purchase the specific commodity.

In order to facilitate this type of consumers, the present invention discloses an organizational method based on the wireless service provision method shown in FIG. 1. The organizational method is shown in FIG. 2 and includes the following steps:

Step 202: Activate a wireless communication protocol on a first mobile electronic device to execute an organizing function for group buying, and execute step 204.

Step 204: Scan the surroundings of the first mobile electronic device; when at least one second mobile electronic device installed with the wireless communication protocol is scanned, perform step 206; otherwise, perform step 220.

Step 206: Confirm whether the wireless communication protocol is activated on the at least one second mobile electronic device; if the wireless communication protocol is activated on the at least one second mobile communication device, perform step 210; otherwise, perform step 208.

Step 208: Implement authentication on the at least one second mobile electronic device to activate the wireless communication protocol on the second mobile electronic device, and perform step 210.

Step 210: Confirm whether there is at least one second mobile electronic device not less than a first predetermined number; when it is confirmed that there is at least one second mobile electronic device not less than the first predetermined number, execute step 212; otherwise execute Step 220.

Step 212: Execute a pairing procedure included in the organization function.

Step 214: The pairing program transmits a group buying information to the first predetermined number of second mobile electronic devices.

Step 216: Confirm whether there are no less than a second predetermined number of second mobile electronic devices that respond to the group buying information; when it is confirmed that there are no less than a second predetermined number of second mobile electronic devices that respond to the group buying information , execute step 218; otherwise, execute step 212.

Step 218: Organize the first mobile electronic device and the second predetermined number of second mobile electronic devices, and perform step 220.

Step 220: the step ends.

FIG. 2 represents a specific embodiment of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 . For example, step 202 corresponds to step 102 , step 204 corresponds to step 104 , step 206 corresponds to step 106 , step 208 corresponds to step 108 , and steps 210 - 218 correspond to step 110 .

For brevity and clarity, the details of steps 202-208 are not repeated here. And steps 212-220 will be explained with the assumption that the first predetermined quantity is ten and the second predetermined quantity is six, and it is also assumed that when the order quantity to purchase the specific product exceeds six, the merchant will Offer the consumer a discounted price to purchase that particular item.

In step 210, when the user of the first mobile electronic device tries to purchase a specific commodity at a relatively low price, and when the first mobile electronic device has found at least one second mobile electronic device within its effective detection range, The first mobile electronic device will confirm whether the quantity of these second mobile electronic devices is greater than ten (that is, the first predetermined quantity), so as to preliminarily confirm whether there is a possibility of initiating a group purchase movement to the merchant.

In step 212, when the first mobile electronic device finds not less than ten second mobile electronic devices, the first mobile electronic device executes a pairing procedure to implement the organization function defined by the wireless communication protocol.

In step 214, the pairing program will transmit or broadcast group buying information about the specific commodity to the detected second mobile electronic devices, so that users of these second mobile electronic devices can judge according to the group buying information Whether to respond to the first mobile electronic device. The group buying information may further include an authentication code, so that users of the second mobile devices can join the group buying mobile by approving the authentication code.

In step 216, the pairing program checks the responses returned by the second mobile electronic devices to confirm the willingness of the users of the second mobile electronic devices to participate in the group buying activity to purchase the specific product. In step 218, if there are not less than six users of these second mobile electronic devices expressing their willingness to participate in the mobile group purchase, the pairing program will connect the first mobile electronic device with those who are willing to participate in the mobile group purchase.

(5-A) Contact list sharing

In order to avoid the inconvenience of the members of the group contact list when updating the group contact list, the present invention discloses a contact list sharing method using a wireless communication protocol. Please note that the wireless communication protocol used in the embodiment of the present invention may include Bluetooth (Bluetooth), Wi-Fi standard, Wi-FiDirect standard, near field communication technology (Nearfieldcommunication, NFC), or point-to-point communication technology (Peer -to-peercommunication).

Please refer to FIG. 19, which illustrates a mobile electronic device 3102 and other multiple mobile electronic devices 3104, 3106, 3108, and 3110 to explain the operation of the contact list sharing method of the present invention, wherein the mobile electronic devices 3102, 3104 , 3106, 3108, and 3110 each include one of the contact lists 3132, 3134, 3136, 3138, and 3140 in sequence. The mobile electronic device 3102 is used for broadcasting a polling signal based on the aforementioned wireless communication protocol. Mobile electronic devices 3104, 3106, 3108, 3110 are assumed to receive the polling signal, however only mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 are assumed to use the same wireless communication protocol as mobile electronic device 3102. Therefore, the mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 respond to the polling signal broadcast by the mobile electronic device 3102 with a response signal RES1 or RES2 respectively.

In some embodiments of the present invention, if the wireless communication protocol used is based on near-field communication technology, other mobile electronic devices that are not within the effective communication range of the mobile electronic device 3102 use the same protocol as the mobile electronic device 3102 The wireless communication protocol is still unable to receive the polling signal or respond to the polling signal.

After receiving the response signals RES1 and RES2 , the mobile electronic device 3102 can confirm the existence of the mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 .

Assume here that the user of the mobile electronic device 3102 wants to contact a target user whose contact information is not stored in the contact list 3132 and may be stored in both the mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 at least one of them. With the contact list sharing method of the present invention, a virtual contact list including all contact information of the mobile electronic devices 3102, 3104, 3106 can be obtained, so that the target user's contact information can also be included in the virtual Contact list. In this way, the user of the mobile electronic device 3102 can obtain the contact information of the target user by accessing the virtual contact list.

Please refer to FIG. 20 , which is a flowchart of a method for sharing a contact list according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 20, the contact list sharing method includes the following steps:

Step 3202: A first mobile electronic device broadcasts a polling signal based on a wireless communication protocol, and executes step 3204.

Step 3204: The first mobile electronic device confirms whether there is a second mobile electronic device using the wireless communication protocol, wherein the confirmation process is performed by receiving a response signal sent by the second mobile electronic device, and the response A signal is sent corresponding to the polling signal; when the first mobile electronic device confirms that there is at least one second mobile electronic device using the wireless communication protocol, go to step 3206 , otherwise go to step 3214 .

Step 3206: Confirm whether the first mobile electronic device can identify each second mobile electronic device that sends a response signal; perform step 508 on the second mobile devices that can be identified by the first mobile electronic device and send a response signal, And implement step 3214 for other second mobile devices that cannot be recognized by the first mobile electronic device and send response signals.

Step 3208: Merge the respective contact lists included in the at least one second mobile electronic device into a virtual contact list included in the first mobile electronic device, and execute step 3210.

Step 3210: The first mobile electronic device waits for a stop command based on the wireless communication protocol to be received by the first mobile electronic device; when the stop command is received, go to step 3212, otherwise go to step 3214.

Step 3212: Remove the contact list of the second mobile electronic device from the virtual group contact list included in the first mobile electronic device, and execute step 3214.

Step 3214: The step ends.

The contact list sharing method shown in FIG. 20 will be explained with the assistance of each mobile electronic device shown in FIG. 19 . The first mobile electronic device described in each step in FIG. 20 refers to the mobile electronic device 3102 described in FIG. 19 , and the other at least one second mobile electronic device refers to at least one of the mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 shown in FIG. 19 one.

In step 3202, when the user of the mobile electronic device 3102 tries to contact the target user, the wireless communication protocol installed in the mobile electronic device 3102 will be activated. Please note that if the wireless communication protocol has been activated on the mobile electronic device 3102 before the user running the mobile electronic device 3102 attempts to contact the target user, step 3202 can be skipped and not executed.

In step 3204, the mobile electronic device 3102 will confirm whether there is at least one other mobile electronic device using the same wireless communication protocol as the mobile electronic device 3102 through the received response signal, wherein the response signal corresponds to The polling signal is sent by other mobile electronic devices. If the mobile electronic device 3102 receives at least one of the above response signals, it means that there is at least one other mobile electronic device using the same wireless communication protocol within the effective communication range of the mobile electronic device 3102 .

As shown in FIG. 19, because the mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 respectively respond to the polling signal broadcast by the mobile electronic device 3102 with response signals RES1 and RES2, and the mobile electronic device 3102 receives the response signals RES1 and RES2, the mobile electronic device Both devices 3104 and 3106 are processed in step 506 . The mobile electronic devices 3108 and 3110 will not be processed in step 3206 because they do not use the wireless communication protocol used by the mobile electronic device 3102 .

In step 3206, the mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 that sent the response signal will be further confirmed by the mobile electronic device 3102 to determine whether the mobile electronic device 3102 can identify the mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 based on security considerations. The step of confirming whether the identification is possible in step 3206 may include confirming whether the identification of the mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 has been recorded in the contact list 3132 contained in the mobile electronic device 3102 in advance. It is assumed here that the mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 are both identifiable mobile electronic devices to the mobile electronic device 3102 . In this way, a virtual group 3120 including the mobile electronic devices 3102, 3104, 3106 is temporarily organized based on the premise that members can identify each other. Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the mobile electronic devices 3102, 3104, 3106 all reserve the right to withdraw from the virtual group 3120 at any time.

In step 3208, since members of the virtual group 3120 are allowed to access each other's contact lists, a virtual group contact list can be generated by combining the contact information of the contact lists 3132, 3134, and 3136 3150 , wherein combining the contact information of the contact lists 3132 , 3134 , 3136 includes transmitting the contact information of the contact lists 3134 , 3136 to the mobile electronic device 3102 . If the target user's contact information already exists in the contact list 3134 or 3136, the mobile electronic device 3102 can access the target user's contact information through the virtual group contact list 3150, so that the mobile electronic device 3102 The user of can use the accessed contact information to contact the target user.

In step 3210, regardless of whether the mobile electronic device 102 finds the target user's contact information in the virtual group contact list 3150, the mobile electronic device 3102 will wait for a stop command issued based on the wireless communication protocol to disband or Reorganize the virtual group 3120 , wherein the stop command can be issued by any one of the mobile electronic devices 3102 , 3104 , 3106 . The timing for the mobile electronic device 3102 to issue the stop command may be after the mobile electronic device 3102 accesses the contact information of the target user and at least one of the mobile electronic devices 3104 and 3106 leaves the effective communication range of the mobile electronic device 3102 And when there is no response for more than a predetermined time or when the signal strength between the mobile electronic devices of the virtual group 3120 is lower than a predetermined strength. In addition, the mobile electronic devices 3102, 3104, and 3106 can also decide to issue the stop command to stop sharing their respective contact lists.

In step 3212, after receiving the stop instruction, at least one contact list corresponding to the stop instruction will be removed from the virtual group contact list 3150, and at least one of the at least one removed contact list will be The mobile electronic device will also be removed from the virtual group 3120. For example, if the mobile electronic device 3104 triggers the stop command, the mobile electronic device 3102 will remove the contact list 3134 from the virtual group contact list 3150 and remove the mobile electronic device 3104 from the virtual group 3120 . If the mobile electronic device 3102 triggers the stop command, because the mobile electronic device 3102 is the initiator of the virtual group contact list 3150 and the virtual group 3120, the mobile electronic device 3102 will directly remove the virtual group contact list 3150 with virtual group 3120. Please note that in other embodiments of the present invention, whether to execute step 3512 is optional. In other words, even if the virtual group contact list 3150 and the virtual group 3120 are removed after receiving the stop instruction, the mobile electronic device 3102 can still choose whether to keep or remove the contact information in the contact list 3134 or 3136 .
