Abstract

Group event management methods and systems are provided. First, information about a group of wearable electronic devices is provided. Then, an event is received. The event is transmitted to the respective wearable electronic devices in the group via a wireless network, wherein the respective wearable electronic device performs a setting operation according to the event, such that the respective wearable electronic device executes the event when a specific condition is met.

Claims

1. A group event management method for use in an electronic device, comprising:

providing information about a group of wearable electronic devices;

receiving an event; and

transmitting the event to the respective wearable electronic devices in the group via a wireless network,

wherein the respective wearable electronic device performs a setting operation according to the event, such that the respective wearable electronic device executes the event when a specific condition is met.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the event is packed into a data packet, and the data packet is wirelessly broadcasted.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the respective wearable electronic device further determines whether the data packet has identification data corresponding to the electronic device, and when the data packet has the identification data corresponding to the electronic device, the respective wearable electronic device performs the setting operation according to the event.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether identification data corresponding to a specific electronic device among the wearable electronic devices is received via a wireless network when the specific condition is met; and

when the identification data corresponding to the specific electronic device is received when the specific condition is met, cancelling the execution for the event in the specific electronic device.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising a step of receiving a setting completion signal from a specific electronic device among the wearable electronic devices via a wireless network, wherein the setting completion signal is generated after the specific electronic device performs the setting operation according to the event.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

determining whether all of the setting completion signals corresponding to the respective wearable electronic devices are received; and

when all of the setting completion signals corresponding to the respective wearable electronic devices are received, generating a prompting message.

7. The method of claim 5, further comprising a step of displaying information corresponding to the specific wearable electronic device, which setting completion signal is received via a user interface.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the event is a reminding process, and the specific condition comprises a specific time, which is recorded in the event.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein a first wearable electronic device among the wearable electronic devices receives the event via a wireless network, and transmits the event to a second wearable electronic device among the wearable electronic devices via the wireless network.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic device generates a first data packet and a second data packet according to the event, and broadcasts the first data packet and the second data packet via the wireless network, wherein after the respective wearable electronic device receives the first data packet and the second data packet, the respective wearable electronic device analyzes the first data packet and the second data packet to obtain the event, and performs the setting operation according to the event.

11. A group event management system for use in an electronic device, comprising:

a storage unit comprising information about a group of wearable electronic devices;

a wireless connecting unit; and

a processing unit receiving an event, and transmitting the event to the respective wearable electronic devices in the group via a wireless network using the wireless connecting unit,

wherein the respective wearable electronic device performs a setting operation according to the event, such that the respective wearable electronic device executes the event when a specific condition is met.

12. A machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a device to perform a group event management method, wherein the method comprises:

providing information about a group of wearable electronic devices;

receiving an event; and

transmitting the event to the respective wearable electronic devices in the group via a wireless network,

wherein the respective wearable electronic device performs a setting operation according to the event, such that the respective wearable electronic device executes the event when a specific condition is met.

13. A group event management method for use in an electronic device, comprising:

providing information about a group of wearable electronic devices;

receiving an event;

detecting identification data corresponding to at least one specific wearable electronic device;

determining whether the specific wearable electronic device is one of the wearable electronic devices according to the identification data corresponding to the specific wearable electronic device and the information about the group of the wearable electronic devices; and

when the specific wearable electronic device is one of the wearable electronic devices, transmitting the event to the specific wearable electronic device via a wireless network.

14. A group event management system for use in an electronic device, comprising:

a storage unit comprising information about a group of wearable electronic devices;

a wireless connecting unit; and

a processing unit receiving an event, detecting identification data corresponding to at least one specific wearable electronic device, determining whether the specific wearable electronic device is one of the wearable electronic devices according to the identification data corresponding to the specific wearable electronic device and the information about the group of the wearable electronic devices; and

when the specific wearable electronic device is one of the wearable electronic devices, transmitting the event to the specific wearable electronic device via a wireless network.

15. A machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a device to perform a group event management method, wherein the method comprises:

providing information about a group of wearable electronic devices;

receiving an event;

detecting identification data corresponding to at least one specific wearable electronic device;

determining whether the specific wearable electronic device is one of the wearable electronic devices according to the identification data corresponding to the specific wearable electronic device and the information about the group of the wearable electronic devices; and

when the specific wearable electronic device is one of the wearable electronic devices, transmitting the event to the specific wearable electronic device via a wireless network.
