Two-Dimensional Code Storage Destination Identifier for Mobile File Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In hierarchical folder structures, it is difficult to easily store a file in a desired location, especially on mobile devices with cloud computing, due to cumbersome text input and limitations of browser functions for file storage.
Innovation Solution
A data storage device and program that utilizes a two-dimensional code generating section to create an identifier for a storage destination, allowing a mobile phone to select and store data by capturing and analyzing the code, which specifies the storage location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If hierarchical folder structures are used to organize files, then file organization capability is improved, but file retrieval and storage operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a two-dimensional code as an intermediary element that represents the complex hierarchical folder path. Instead of directly navigating through multiple folder layers, users scan the two-dimensional code with a mobile phone to instantly access the target file or storage location, thereby simplifying the operation while maintaining the hierarchical organization structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If deep hierarchical folder structures are created to accommodate large numbers of files, then file organization flexibility is improved, but text input requirements for file operations increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a visual copy (two-dimensional code) of the folder path information instead of requiring users to manually input text. The two-dimensional code encodes the hierarchical path structure and can be scanned by mobile phones to automatically retrieve the corresponding folder location, eliminating the need for manual text input while preserving the deep hierarchical structure.
3Ease of operation
If conventional two-dimensional codes are used for file retrieval, then file access ease is improved, but file storage capability remains limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the functionality of two-dimensional codes beyond simple retrieval to include both file retrieval and file storage operations. By scanning the two-dimensional code, users can not only access existing files but also specify storage destinations for new files, particularly enabling mobile phone users to store files in cloud-based or remote locations without complex text input.
Data Source
AI summary
An object of the present invention is to enable a storage location for data, such as a file, to be specified by a simple operation using an identifier such as a two-dimensional code. A data storage device of the present invention is provided with a selecting section which selects arbitrary data, a reading section which reads an identifier, a recognizing section which recognizes a storage destination for the data from a result of reading by the reading section, and a storing section which stores the data in the storage destination recognized by the recognizing section.
