Solution Overview

Problem

Existing devices such as desktop computers and smart glasses have separate advantages and disadvantages, with desktops being convenient for navigation and typing but less secure in public, while smart glasses offer higher security and privacy but are less convenient for complex tasks.

Innovation Solution

A method for session-sharing between devices, including a first computing device and a second computing device, such as a mobile device, using QR code scanning to initiate a second computing session with a private key, enabling secure transfer of user sessions and confidential data input on the second device without revealing it on the first device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users work on desktop computers with big screens and external mice, then navigation and typing convenience is improved, but security and privacy are worsened due to visual trespass by fraudsters

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenavigation and typing convenienceVSAvoidvisual trespass and security risk

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the computing session into two separate devices: a desktop computer for navigation and a mobile device for confidential input. This segmentation allows each device to perform its optimal function while mitigating the security risk of the desktop's visible display in public environments.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a session transfer mechanism as an intermediary process that connects the desktop and mobile device. This mediator enables seamless transition of the computing session between devices, allowing users to maintain context while switching from the convenient but insecure desktop to the secure but less convenient mobile device.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If users switch to smart glasses or mobile devices for better security and privacy, then visual trespass is prevented, but navigation and typing convenience is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevisual trespass preventionVSAvoidnavigation and typing convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the operational role of each device based on the user's needs and environment. The desktop computer serves as the primary navigation interface when convenience is prioritized, while the mobile device becomes active when security is prioritized. This dynamic switching allows the system to adapt to different operational contexts.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the strengths of two different computing platforms into a unified session. The desktop's superior navigation capabilities are combined with the mobile device's security advantages, creating a hybrid system that leverages the benefits of both devices while minimizing their individual drawbacks.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Device complexity

If users maintain a single session on one device, then simplicity is maintained, but the ability to combine benefits of multiple devices is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesession management simplicityVSAvoidmulti-device benefit combination

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The session transfer mechanism provides universal access to the same computing session across multiple device types. The session identity and state are maintained independently of the specific device, allowing the same session to function universally on both desktop and mobile platforms without requiring separate session management.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A session-sharing system smoothly toggles between a first device session and a pre-registered second device session. The second computing device enables input confidential information absent visual trespass. The second device is pre-registered with a private key for unlocking a public key. A common data storage device establishes electronic communication between the first and second computing devices by invoking trigger information incorporating a public key from the first computing device. The second computing device executes the trigger information by decoding the public key. The first computing device receives the user session initiation information and then transfers it to the common data storage device. The second computing device locks the first user session, masks a display associated with the first user session, maintains the session initiation information and creates a second user session invoking the information from the first computing device to support confidential data input at the second computing device.
