Clipboard Server for Seamless Cross-Device Data Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for exchanging data between different devices are inconvenient, requiring separate service programs or data sharing services, which hinders user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that enable data exchange between devices using personalized cloud storage and user biometric information, allowing data to be copied and pasted across devices without a separate registration procedure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If separate service programs or data sharing services are used to exchange data between different devices, then data exchange can be achieved, but user convenience is reduced and system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a clipboard server as an intermediary component that runs in the background of each device. This server automatically manages data exchange between devices without requiring users to install or operate separate service programs. The clipboard server acts as a mediator that handles the complexity of data synchronization, authentication, and transfer protocols, while users simply perform copy and paste operations as if on a single device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service functionality where the clipboard server automatically performs data exchange, authentication, and synchronization without user intervention. When data is copied on one device and pasted on another, the clipboard servers communicate automatically, verify device identity through security tokens, and transfer the data seamlessly. This eliminates the need for users to manually configure sharing services or manage connection settings.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate service programs are installed for data exchange between devices, then data exchange functionality is achieved, but the number of required applications increases
Solution Approach 1:
The clipboard server is designed as a universal multi-functional component that handles various data types (text, images, files), supports multiple communication protocols, and works across different device types (smartphones, tablets, computers). It integrates authentication, encryption, data formatting, and transfer functionality into a single background service, eliminating the need for separate applications for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple previously separate functions into a unified clipboard exchange system. Instead of requiring separate applications for file sharing, text synchronization, and device pairing, all these functions are combined into the clipboard server infrastructure. The server integrates security token management, data encryption, format conversion, and network communication into a single cohesive system that operates transparently.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of exchanging data between devices is provided. The method includes a first device detecting a user's intention to transmit data, generating first identification information for the data by using biometric data obtained from the user, and transmitting the data and the first identification information to a personalized cloud storage, and a second device detecting the user's intention to receive the data, generating second identification information by using the biometric data obtained from the user, requesting the personalized cloud storage for the data by using the second identification information, and receiving and storing the data from the personalized cloud storage.
