Cloud-Based Virtualized Data Exchange for Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing size and cost of mobile terminals due to the need to store and transfer large data files, such as videos and audio, are exacerbated by complex data management, as existing methods require substantial memory and power, and are inefficient in resource allocation in Cloud Computing environments.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for exchanging virtualized data between mobile devices using a Cloud Computing Environment, where data is stored in distant servers and transferred over short-range wireless links, utilizing protocols like FTP or HTTP Push, with options for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, or IRDA links, allowing meta-information exchange to manage data without local storage requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If large data files are stored locally in mobile terminals, then data exchange capability is improved, but device memory requirements and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the data storage function from the mobile terminal and relocates it to remote servers in a cloud computing environment. The terminal only retains metadata and minimal local caching, while actual large data files are stored externally, thereby reducing local memory requirements while maintaining data exchange capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a cloud storage intermediary system that mediates between multiple terminals and data files. Instead of direct terminal-to-terminal data transfer requiring large local storage, the cloud intermediary handles storage and retrieval, allowing terminals to access data without maintaining large local memory capacity
2Reliability
If data files are transferred between devices using radio links, then data exchange is enabled, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the heavy data transfer burden from the terminal's radio communication system by implementing a cloud-based transfer mechanism. Large files are transferred between cloud servers using optimized protocols, while terminals only exchange small metadata packets, dramatically reducing radio link energy consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary actions by pre-uploading data to cloud storage before actual exchange is needed. This allows data to be staged in advance on servers, enabling efficient retrieval and transfer only when required, reducing unnecessary energy-consuming radio transmissions
3Ease of operation
If mobile terminals handle complex data management locally, then data control capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts complex data management functions from the terminal and relocates them to cloud-based management systems. The terminal interface remains simple while backend cloud services handle complex operations such as storage management, transfer coordination, and data organization, reducing device complexity while maintaining operational capability

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for exchanging virtualized data in Cloud Computing Environment between a first User Equipment and a second User Equipment, said virtualized data being stored in a first memory area allocated to said first User Equipment in a first distant server, a second memory area is allocated to said second User Equipment in a second distant server for receiving said virtualized data, said first User Equipment and said second User Equipment exchanging specific information on said virtualized data over a short range wireless link, method characterized by the following step:the first User Equipment proposes said virtualized data to the second User Equipment by means of a message sent through the short range wireless link,the second User Equipment transmits to the first User Equipment the location in the second memory area where to transfer said virtualized data, and transmits to the first distant server its agreement to receive said virtualized data,the first User Equipment requests said first distant server to transfer said virtualized data from the first memory area to the second memory area over the radio link.
