Solution Overview

Problem

Wearable devices face inefficiencies and poor user experience due to cumbersome file path confirmation operations during file transmission, making automatic file transmission challenging and error-prone.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for automatic file transmission between electronic devices, where a preset file attribute is selected and transmitted when an automatic file transmission condition is met, using hardware states such as key presses or light sensors to initiate and direct the file transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual file selection and path confirmation operations are used for file transmission, then the transmission reflects user demand accurately, but the operation becomes troublesome and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of file transmissionVSAvoidfile transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-sets file attributes (such as photo, video, music, document types) and default transmission paths before the actual transmission occurs. When a user initiates a transmission request, the system automatically selects files based on these pre-configured attributes without requiring manual path confirmation, thus maintaining accuracy while improving efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If manual file path confirmation operations are required, then file transmission accuracy is maintained, but user experience deteriorates due to troublesome operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefile transmission accuracyVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic file selection and path determination based on pre-set attributes and transmission requests, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate through file paths. The automation handles the complex path confirmation process independently while still ensuring accurate file transmission according to user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If automatic file transmission is implemented without manual confirmation, then efficiency and user experience improve, but errors and reliability issues increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefile transmission efficiencyVSAvoidfile transmission accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-configures file attributes (photo, video, music, document types) and default transmission paths before automatic transmission occurs. This preliminary setup ensures that when automatic transmission is triggered, the system has predetermined criteria to accurately select the correct files, maintaining reliability while enabling efficient automated operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
