Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If token-based data sharing solution is used, then data can be shared across different applications, but the operation process becomes complex and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a shared device as an intermediary component between different applications. The shared device generates two-dimensional codes that serve as mediators for data sharing, eliminating the need for direct complex interactions between applications. Users simply scan the code with their camera, and the shared device automatically handles the data transfer, thus resolving the contradiction between cross-app compatibility and ease of operation.
2Productivity
If traditional copy-paste method is used for data sharing, then data can be transferred between applications, but frequent app switching is required which reduces productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-generating two-dimensional codes that contain encoded data information before the actual data transfer is needed. The shared device prepares these codes in advance, and when a user needs to share data, they simply scan the pre-generated code with their camera. This eliminates the need for real-time app switching and copy-paste operations, significantly improving productivity while reducing time loss.
3Reliability
If direct application-to-application data sharing is implemented, then data compatibility can be maintained, but device complexity increases due to direct app interactions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a shared device as an intermediary layer between applications to maintain data compatibility while reducing system complexity. The shared device handles all the complex interactions, code generation, and data routing, allowing applications to simply interact with the shared device through simple scan-and-receive operations. This intermediary approach preserves data compatibility without requiring complex direct app-to-app interaction mechanisms.

AI summary
The present application provides a data sharing solution. In the solution, a first application running on a first user equipment uploads shared data, and a shared device generates a two-dimensional code for the shared data and returns the two-dimensional code to the first application. The first application can provide the two-dimensional code to a second application running on a second user equipment. After scanning the two-dimensional code, the second application can send a data obtaining request to the shared device based on the scanned information, so the shared device sends the shared data corresponding to the two-dimensional code to the second application based on the request, thereby completing cross-application data sharing. The process offers convenient data transfer for the user and also breaks through limitations of data compatibility between the different APPs and alleviates a problem that information between the different APPs cannot be mutually identified.
