Method, system and computer-readable storage medium for transmitting data between network devices in a network

Abstract

A method (600) and system (500) for transferring an object from a first network device to a second network device of a network are disclosed. Conventional technology only focuses on copying the object from one device to the same device, but does not allow a user to cut or copy data from one device and paste the data to a different device. Therefore, it is necessary to transfer data between two different devices, that is, to cut or copy data, such as an image or a portion of an image or an object in an image, from one device and paste the data to any other device within the network. The method (600) includes: sending (S601) an image including at least one object to a server; extracting (S602) the at least one object from the image received from the first network device; and sending (S603) the at least one object extracted from the image to the second network device.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The subject matter described herein relates generally to improved tools for data acquisition, transfer, and replication, and more particularly to methods and systems for transferring data between two devices. Background Art

[0002] In human-computer interaction and user interface design, cut, copy, and paste are related commands that provide an interprocess communication technique for transferring data through a computer user interface. The Cut command deletes selected data from its original location, while the Copy command creates a copy; in both cases, the selected data is saved in temporary storage, while the Paste command visually inserts the selected data at the insertion point. Regardless of where the Paste command is issued, the data in this temporary storage is later inserted. The data remains available to any application that supports this functionality, facilitating data transfer between applications.

[0003] The user selects or "highlights" the text or file to be moved by some method, typically by dragging the text or file name with a pointing device or by holding down the Shift key while using the arrow keys to move the text cursor. Terms such as clone, copy, inherit, or reuse refer to transferring this information through files. Command names such as cut, copy, and paste are interface metaphors based on the physical processes used to create page layouts in manuscript editing.

[0004] Traditional computer-based editing involves frequent cut and paste operations. Most software vendors provide several methods for performing these tasks, which may involve key combinations, drop-down menus, pop-up menus, or toolbar buttons. Conceptually, the data being cut or copied is moved to a temporary location commonly called the clipboard. The clipboard typically remains invisible.

[0005] Therefore, the disadvantage of the long-standing traditional cut-copy-paste operations is that data (such as, but not limited to, images, text, or multimedia content / files) cut or copied from one document / location on a device can only be pasted to the same or different document / location on the same device. Therefore, the cut-copy-paste operations are device-specific or limited to the device where the data or file is being cut or copied. Users are not allowed to cut or copy data from one device and paste the data on a different device.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to transfer / copy data between two devices, that is, there is a need for the ability to cut or copy data (such as but not limited to an image or a part of an image or an object in an image) from one device and paste the image or a part of the image or the object in the image to any other device within the network in real time.

[0007] The above-described need for real-time data transmission / copying between two devices is intended only to provide an overview of some of the shortcomings of conventional systems / mechanisms / techniques and is not intended to be exhaustive. Other problems / shortcomings of conventional systems / mechanisms / techniques and corresponding benefits of various non-limiting embodiments described herein will become more apparent upon reference to the following description.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The present invention can be implemented in various ways as a process, apparatus, system, composition of matter, computer-readable medium (e.g., computer-readable storage medium), or computer network, wherein program instructions are sent via optical or electronic communication links. In this specification, these implementations or any other form that the present invention may take may be referred to as techniques. In general, the order of the steps of the disclosed processes may be changed within the scope of the present invention.

[0038] Provided below are specific implementations of one or more embodiments of the present invention and accompanying drawings illustrating the principles of the present invention. Although the present invention is described in conjunction with these embodiments, the present invention is not limited to any embodiment. The scope of the present invention is limited only by the claims, and the present invention includes many alternatives, modifications and equivalents. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. These details are provided for illustrative purposes, and the present invention can be practiced according to the claims without some or all of these specific details. For the sake of clarity, technical materials known in the technical field related to the present invention are not described in detail to avoid unnecessary confusion of the present invention.

[0039] The following detailed description sets forth numerous specific details to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, processes, components, modules, units, and / or circuits have not been described in detail to avoid obscuring the present invention.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention are not limited in this regard, discussions using terms such as "process," "compute," "determine," "establish," "analyze," and "examine" may refer to operations and / or processes on a computer, computing platform, computing system, or other electronic computing device that manipulate and / or transform data represented as physical (e.g., electronic) quantities within computer registers and / or memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within computer registers and / or memories, or other information non-transitory storage media that may store instructions to perform the operations and / or processes.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention are not limited in this respect, the term "plurality" as used herein may include "two or more." The term "plurality" may be used throughout this specification to describe two or more components, devices, elements, units, parameters, and the like. Unless explicitly stated, the method embodiments described herein are not limited to a particular order. Furthermore, some of the described method embodiments or elements thereof may occur or be performed simultaneously at the same point in time.

[0042] In the present invention, "cut" refers to the cut command, which is used to delete selected data from its original location and store the selected data in a temporary storage location commonly known as the clipboard. This can be done by pressing the Ctrl+x key combination (for Macintosh users, +x), menu, or other methods.

[0043] In the present invention, "copy" refers to the copy command, which is used to create a copy of the selected data and store the selected data in a temporary storage location commonly known as the clipboard. This can be done by pressing the Ctrl+c key combination (for Macintosh users, +c), menu or other methods.

[0044] In the present invention, "paste" refers to the paste command, which is used to insert the selected data stored in the temporary memory in a visible manner at the insertion point. This can be done by pressing the key combination Ctrl+v (for Macintosh users, +v), menu or other methods to execute.

[0045] In this application, the "clipboard" refers to a buffer used for short-term storage and transfer of data within and between applications. It is typically temporary and unnamed, and its contents reside in the computer's RAM. It is an application programming interface through which programs can specify cut, copy, and paste operations.

[0046] Disclosed are methods and systems for transferring an object from a first network device to a second network device. While various aspects are described with respect to data replication between two user devices, the present invention can be implemented in any number of different computing systems, environments, and / or configurations. Embodiments are described in the context of the following exemplary systems, devices / nodes / apparatuses, and methods.

[0047] The following is an explanation of the embodiments of the present invention with the help of exemplary figures and one or more examples. However, these exemplary figures and examples are for a better understanding of the present invention and should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0048] A problem associated with conventional cut-copy-paste operations is that data (such as but not limited to images or text or multimedia content / files) cut or copied from one document / location on a device can only be pasted to the same or different document / location on the same device, thus rendering the cut-copy-paste operations device-specific or limited to the device whose data or file is being cut or copied. Consequently, conventional techniques focus only on copying objects from one device to the same device. It does not allow users to cut or copy data from one device and paste said data on a different device. This use case is very limited and does not address the problem of cutting / copying an image from one place and sending the object to another device.

[0049] Therefore, there is a need to transfer / copy data between two devices, that is, there is a need for the ability to cut or copy data (such as but not limited to an image or a portion of an image or an object in an image) from one device and paste the image or a portion of the image or the object in the image to any other device within the network. For example, use a smart device camera to take any image, select a specific object in the image, and send the same object to any other device. The other device can not only receive the object, but also paste the image on any photo editor. The present invention solves this problem by utilizing artificial intelligence to ensure that specific objects are selectable and can be transferred from one device to another in real time.

[0050] Figure 1An example of capturing an image using a user device (device 1) (such as but not limited to a smartphone's camera) is shown. The captured image is sent to an AICutPaste server (which can be running on the cloud or locally), which uses an AI algorithm to segment the captured image into multiple objects such as a bottle, a camera, a table, etc. The segmented multiple objects are sent back to the user device (device 1). The user can select one or more objects to paste on device 2, for which the user can touch the desired one or more objects and send them to the AI ​​web service. The photo editor running in the receiving (other) device (device 2) listens to a configurable specific port. The AI ​​web service sends the object from device 1 to device 2. If there are multiple devices listening to the port, the object will be sent to all devices listening to the port. It should be noted that which port and how the port is configured is not part of the present invention.

[0051] Figure 2 An example of capturing an image using a user device (Device 1) (e.g., a smartphone camera) is shown. The captured image is sent to an AICutPaste server (which can be running in the cloud or locally), which uses an AI algorithm to segment the captured image into multiple objects, such as a bottle, a camera, and a table. The segmented objects are then sent back to the user device (Device 1). The user focuses their smartphone camera on the screen of Device 2. The preview application on Device 1 displays the photo editor interface, and the user pastes the segmented objects they want into the appropriate locations in the preview to generate a new image, which is then sent to Device 2 via the AI ​​web service on the listening port.

[0052] Models that predict objects and extract them individually from input images are prior art. This model uses prediction and extraction methods for segmentation. It is a boundary-aware saliency detection model for prediction and segmentation that works in two steps. In the first step, the AI ​​model detects the object, and in the second step, the AI ​​model segments the input image and extracts one or more objects using the boundaries of the object. The extracted object is then used for a cut operation (deleting it from the input image and creating an output image without this object), or a copy operation, in which the extracted object is transferred back to the screen as a new image alone. This model is implemented in the AICutPaste server of the present invention.

[0053] Figure 3A block diagram of the present invention is shown. The AICutPaste server consists of the AI-based segmentation scheme as described above, which is used to segment the input image into multiple objects and send the segmented objects back to the user device. The AICutPaste server can be deployed locally or on the cloud. The AI ​​Web service acts as a proxy to route the user-selected image (from the cut operation) to the device running the photo editor that listens to a specific port. The application running in the smart device will use the camera to capture the image, and once the image is captured, the image will be sent to the AICutPaste server running in the background of the same smart device or in the cloud. The AICutPaste server segments the input image into multiple objects and sends the segmented image back to the source device. The user selects the object to be pasted on the target device and sends the image and the coordinates to be pasted through the AI ​​Web service. In addition, the user can also point the smart device at the display of the target device and capture a preview of the target device. Based on this, the user can locate the desired segmented object and share the new image to the target device.

[0054] Figure 4 A timing diagram showing how data is transferred or copied between two devices in real time. The process flow involves the following steps:

[0055] Step 401: The application running on the smart device sends the captured image to the AICutPaste server; Step 402: The AICutPaste server identifies the objects in the input image and segments the objects into separate images; Step 403: The AICutPaste server sends the segmented objects to the source device; Step 404: The user can focus the camera of device 1 on the screen of device 2 (target device) and select a location to paste the selected image from the segmented objects; Step 405: The smart application sends the selected one / multiple images and the paste location to the AI ​​Web service; Step 406: The AI ​​Web service routes the data (image and paste location) to all applications in the target device that listen to the AI ​​Web service on a specific predefined port.
