Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic devices require multiple user operations to transfer data from one application to another, leading to inconvenience and inefficiency in executing functions across different applications.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with an input unit, display, and control module that identifies data from a first application, determines relevant attributes of second applications in response to user events, and processes the data accordingly to execute functions related to those applications, enabling intuitive data transfer and operation execution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If multiple user operations are required to transfer data between applications, then data transfer functionality can be achieved, but user convenience and operational efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidnumber of user operations

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically identifies data attributes and determines target applications without requiring user intervention. The control module autonomously processes data transfer by detecting user events, identifying relevant data, and selecting appropriate target applications based on attribute matching, eliminating the need for manual copy-paste operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-establishes attribute relationships between data and applications. By pre-configuring which data attributes can be transferred to which applications, the system enables automatic data transfer without requiring users to manually specify transfer destinations or perform multiple operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If manual data editing and copying is required, then data can be transferred between applications, but time consumption and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoidtime for data transfer

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations (typing, copying, pasting) with automated system processing. The control module uses event detection and attribute matching algorithms to automatically determine data transfer operations, substituting user manual actions with programmatic processing that occurs instantaneously

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the state of data from requiring manual manipulation to automated processing by detecting user events and automatically identifying relevant data attributes. This parameter change enables the system to process data transfer without time-consuming manual operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
