Content Pushing via Short-Range Radio Bypasses Processing Overhead
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies lack efficient methods for presenting content on remote displays, particularly in peer-to-peer networks, where content cannot be easily shared or sized for optimal viewing on different devices without processing overhead.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allow a content-pushing device to directly push content to remote content-displaying devices via short-range radio waves, using a content pushing/pulling program to bypass processor and storage resources, enabling real-time location tracking and sizing of content for optimal display on various devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If content is shared between devices using existing technologies, then content can be displayed on remote devices, but processing overhead increases and real-time viewing is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the content display function from the content-pushing device and implements it directly on the remote content-displaying device. The content is pushed to the remote device's display without being processed through the local device's processor or storage, eliminating processing overhead and enabling immediate real-time viewing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a content pushing/pulling program as an intermediary that enables direct content transmission between devices via short-range radio waves. This intermediary facilitates seamless content sharing by managing the push/pull operations and device representation without requiring traditional processing through intermediate systems.
2Area of stationary object
If content is displayed on remote devices, then display real estate is utilized, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal content sharing system where any device with a display can function as a content-displaying device. The content pushing/pulling program enables multi-functionality by allowing devices to seamlessly switch between content creation, content display, and content reception roles without requiring specialized hardware or complex configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual representation of remote devices on the content-pushing device's display. This copying mechanism allows users to select and push content to remote devices without complex device management, as the system maintains simplified virtual representations rather than full device complexity.
3Manufacturing precision
If content is sized for optimal display on different devices, then viewing quality improves, but processing overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs content sizing operations in advance on the remote device rather than on the pushing device. When content is pushed to a remote device, the sizing is automatically adjusted based on the target device's display characteristics, eliminating the need for complex pre-processing on the source device and reducing overall processing overhead.

AI summary
One or more remote content-displaying devices are represented on a display of a content-pushing device. A user of the content-pushing device is thus enabled to select which remote content-displaying device(s) is to receive and display the content.
