Connecting Code for Seamless Cross-Device Data Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for an efficient method to exchange information between personal computers and mobile terminals, such as sending partially read web pages or stored photos/videos, across different devices due to changing user demands for seamless data transfer.
Innovation Solution
A method involving generating a connecting code with unique identities for devices, scanning this code to establish a server-based connection, and sending selected content from one device to another, allowing efficient transmission of various types of information between terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If information is transmitted between different terminals using traditional methods, then data transfer can be achieved, but the process is complex and user-unfriendly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating connecting codes on the sending device before actual information transfer. These codes contain all necessary identification and connection information, so when the receiving device scans the code, the connection is immediately established without requiring complex configuration or manual input from users. This resolves the contradiction by making the operation simple (just scan) while handling the complexity in advance (code generation and parsing).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces connecting codes as an intermediary element between the sending and receiving devices. Instead of directly establishing complex communication channels between devices, the connecting code serves as a mediator that encapsulates all connection parameters. The receiving device scans this intermediary code to obtain connection information, thereby simplifying the interaction while maintaining the necessary communication complexity behind the scenes.
2Loss of time
If manual configuration methods are used for device connection, then connection can be established, but it consumes significant user time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the copying principle by creating connecting codes that contain replicated connection information. Instead of requiring users to manually configure device identifiers, network parameters, and connection settings, the system generates a code that copies all this information in a scannable format. When scanned, this code instantly provides the receiving device with all necessary connection details, eliminating time-consuming manual configuration while requiring minimal user effort (simply scanning the code).
3Reliability
If comprehensive connection information is included in transmission setup, then accurate device identification is achieved, but the information structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by transforming complex connection parameters (device identifiers, network addresses, port information) into a different representation format through the connecting code. The code encodes these parameters in a structured, scannable format that appears simple visually but contains all necessary identification information. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining accurate device identification (all parameters are present) while changing the information structure into a user-friendly code format that the system can parse reliably.
Data Source
AI summary
An information transmitting method includes the following steps: generating a connecting code and displaying the connecting code on a display of the information sending device; receiving a second unique identity from the server; obtaining contents selected by a user; generating an information sending request; and sending the information sending request to the server. According to above information transmitting method, by establishing a connection between two terminals, or two browser applications, information of different categories can be efficiently transmitted from one terminal to the other terminal. In addition, this disclosure also publishes an information transmitting device and an information transmitting system.
