Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data sharing methods between client terminal devices are limited by wired connections, requiring physical cables and restricting sharing when devices are not compatible or connected wirelessly, making the process complex and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A method involving graphic coding of data into two-dimensional codes, allowing for wireless data sharing between devices without the need for physical connections, using modules for obtaining, coding, and publishing data, and decoding on receiving devices to output the original data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wired connection is used for data sharing, then data can be transmitted between devices, but the operation becomes complicated and requires physical cable connection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmissionVSAvoidconnection operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system with a graphical code-based wireless transmission system. Instead of using physical cables to connect devices for data sharing, the system converts data into graphical codes (such as QR codes or other visual representations) that can be captured and decoded by receiving devices, thereby eliminating the need for physical connectors and simplifying the sharing operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If wired interfaces among client terminal devices do not match, then wired connection cannot be established, but data sharing is still required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing capabilityVSAvoidinterface compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal data sharing interface that works across all device types and connection capabilities. By converting data into graphical code format, the system enables any device with a camera or image capture capability to receive and decode shared data, regardless of the transmitting device's interface type. This graphical code intermediary provides universal compatibility between different device interfaces and communication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If wireless mode is used for connection, then devices can connect without cables, but data cannot be shared among them

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection convenienceVSAvoiddata sharing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces graphical code as an intermediary carrier between the transmitting and receiving devices. The data is first converted into graphical code format, which then serves as the medium for wireless transmission. The receiving device captures this graphical code intermediary and decodes it back into usable data, thereby enabling reliable data sharing over wireless connections without requiring direct device-to-device communication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
