Object setting system and method

The present invention relates to an object setting system and method, and more particularly to a system and method for automatically downloading and setting objects to an electronic device through a network.

In general, in order to maintain the management convenience of an electronic device, such as a portable device, a car computer, etc., the functions that the electronic device can provide are standardized and fixed. Users can only use it in specific functions. In addition, when the user performs related operations and settings, the related operations must be completed directly through the electronic device.

For example, when the user performs the operation and setting of the vehicle computer, it must be completed directly in the vehicle through the vehicle computer. However, due to the limitations of the interior environment, it is not possible to provide input devices such as a mouse or a keyboard for a general desktop or notebook computer. In addition, due to the limitation of the size of the screen inside the car and the complicated operation process, the user must spend a lot of time to complete the relevant input and setting. Moreover, if the user performs complicated operations while driving, or needs to specifically stop at the roadside to perform some input or search, these conditions significantly reduce the convenience of the user in operating the computer, and also affect the driving. Driving safety.

On the other hand, the standardization function provided by the car computer is not suitable for every user. Different users may need different functions. When the same function is set to the electronic device and is provided to all users, it will not be able to meet the needs of all users.

It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the electronic device 110 is activated, the electronic device 110 can be automatically connected to the server 120 through the network 130. Additionally, in some embodiments, the server 120 can perform relevant identity authentication for the electronic device 110. When the identity authentication is passed, the electronic device 110 is allowed to perform subsequent operations. In step S620, the electronic device 110 determines whether the existing internal setting is the same as the object configuration setting 121 on the server 120. It must be reminded that in some embodiments, the server 120 may have object configuration settings for the respective different electronic devices. The corresponding object configuration setting 121 can be determined according to the identity data of the electronic device 110. If the existing setting inside the electronic device 110 is the same as the object configuration setting 121 on the server 120 (YES in step S630), the flow is ended. If the existing setting in the electronic device 110 is different from the object configuration setting 121 on the server 120 (NO in step S630), in step S640, the electronic device 110 obtains the object configuration setting 121 from the server 120, and as in step S650. The at least one object recorded in the object configuration setting 121 is downloaded by the server 120 according to the object configuration setting 121, and the downloaded object is set in the electronic device 110. It should be noted that when the specific arrangement of the objects is recorded in the object configuration setting 121, the electronic device 110 can further arrange the downloaded objects in a specific arrangement according to the object configuration setting 121 and display them on the electronic device 110. One window (not shown) in. In addition, in some embodiments, when an object in the electronic device 110 is executed, the object can download the data specified by the corresponding object through the wireless network, such as traffic information, gas station information, and parking information.
