Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for efficient methods to share various types of content between electronic devices, as existing technologies lack effective solutions for mapping and sharing content across different devices and platforms.

Innovation Solution

The method involves detecting mapping events, confirming content, determining contact points, and mapping content to these points for efficient sharing, utilizing a content management module within electronic devices that includes a content confirming module, a content mapping module, and a content providing module to facilitate the process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If content is shared between electronic devices using existing technologies, then content can be transmitted between devices, but the process is complex and inefficient without effective mapping solutions

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent sharing efficiencyVSAvoidcontent mapping complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a content management module as an intermediary system that includes a content confirming module, content mapping module, and content providing module. This intermediary handles the complex mapping operations between electronic devices, simplifying the user experience while maintaining efficient content sharing capabilities through structured mapping relationships between content identifiers and contact points

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary mapping of content to contact points before actual content sharing occurs. The content mapping module pre-establishes relationships between content identifiers and contact point information, so that when content needs to be shared, the mapping is already in place, eliminating the need for complex real-time mapping operations during the sharing process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If content mapping is implemented across different devices and platforms, then content sharing versatility is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent sharing compatibilityVSAvoidmapping system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The content management module is designed with universal functionality to handle content mapping across different electronic devices and platforms. The system uses standardized contact point information and content identifiers that can represent various content types (images, videos, documents) and contact information (phone numbers, email addresses, social media profiles), enabling versatile content sharing without requiring device-specific implementations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The content mapping module acts as a universal intermediary that translates between different content formats and contact point representations. It confirms content through the content confirming module and establishes mapping relationships that work across diverse devices and platforms, reducing the complexity burden on individual devices while maintaining broad compatibility

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
