Problem

Moving files and sharing content between devices is time-consuming and involves multiple steps, especially when navigating unknown file systems, and users want to simplify this process without going through complex procedures.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that allows devices to communicate and transfer character data by selecting data for application to a target, determining executable components, and outputting data based on user selection, enabling easier data sharing through a user-friendly interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional file transfer methods are used between devices, then data can be transferred, but the process is time-consuming and involves multiple complex steps including navigating unknown file systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer speedVSAvoidtime required for file transfer
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting the type of character data (e.g., URL, email, contact information) and pre-determining the appropriate target application or component before the user completes the transfer action. This eliminates the need for users to manually navigate through file systems and select appropriate applications, thereby speeding up the data transfer process and reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional file sharing methods are used, then content can be shared between devices, but users must go through multiple complex steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing capabilityVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically analyzing the character data being transferred, identifying its type and structure, and autonomously routing it to the appropriate target application or component on the remote device. The system serves itself by making intelligent decisions about data placement without requiring user intervention in the complex selection process, thereby maintaining versatility while dramatically simplifying operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer (the processing system on the remote device) that sits between the user's simple drag-and-drop action and the complex task of routing data to the correct application. This intermediary automatically interprets the character data, determines the appropriate target component, and executes the transfer, thus bridging the gap between simple user interaction and complex data routing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Extent of automation

If the system determines executable components based on character data analysis, then data can be automatically routed to appropriate applications, but this requires analyzing character data to identify data type

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic data routingVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical processes (user navigating file systems and selecting applications) with an automated information-processing system that analyzes character data patterns and automatically routes data. This substitution uses computational analysis of data characteristics ( URLs, email formats, contact information patterns) to determine appropriate targets, thereby achieving high automation while managing complexity through intelligent algorithms rather than manual procedures.

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