Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for transferring application programs between mobile devices do not adequately ensure that the transfer will not degrade the operating characteristics of the receiving device, potentially leading to anomalous events or disruptions.

Innovation Solution

A system and method where a processor in the sending device analyzes real-time operating characteristics and only transfers application programs if they are unlikely to cause degradation in the receiving device, using a communication link and Special Application Software to validate and manage the transfer process, ensuring compatibility and preventing adverse conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If application programs are transferred between mobile devices, then device functionality and user convenience are improved, but the receiving device may experience degradation in operating characteristics or anomalous events

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice functionalityVSAvoidoperating characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of real-time operating characteristics of the receiving device before transferring application programs. The processor evaluates current device state, resource availability, and compatibility conditions to predict potential degradation scenarios, preventing problematic transfers before they occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors operating characteristics of the receiving device during and after application transfer. Based on feedback from performance metrics and system state changes, the processor dynamically adjusts transfer decisions, blocking transfers that would cause degradation while allowing beneficial transfers to proceed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If application programs are transferred without validation, then transfer speed and user convenience are improved, but the receiving device may experience disruptions or anomalous events

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer speedVSAvoiddevice disruptions
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary anti-action by validating application programs against the receiving device's operating characteristics before transfer. The processor identifies and blocks potentially harmful applications that could cause disruptions, anomalous events, or performance degradation, preventing these harmful effects before they manifest.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

3Reliability

If real-time analysis of operating characteristics is performed, then transfer safety and device stability are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer safetyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The receiving device performs self-service by autonomously analyzing its own real-time operating characteristics and making informed decisions about application transfers. The processor evaluates device state, resource availability, and application compatibility independently, reducing the need for external validation infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An electronic device configured for transferring at least one on board application program to a second electronic device, includes a processor employing software for performing an analysis of real-time operating characteristics of the electronic device, including any anomalous operating characteristics, in relation to on board application programs in the electronic device. A communication link, coupled to the electronic device, is configured for transferring at least one onboard application program from the electronic device to the second electronic device. The transfer of the at least one onboard application program from the electronic device to the second electronic device proceeds only if the software employed by the processor validates that the at least one onboard application program in the electronic device is unlikely to degrade operating characteristics of the second electronic device.
