Content Synchronization via Account Mapping Across Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inefficiencies when trying to access and input the same content across multiple terminal devices, such as smartphones and tablets, leading to repetitive and error-prone operations.
Innovation Solution
A computer system establishes a mapping relationship between accounts of different applications on various terminals, allowing content captured on one device to be forwarded and displayed in a predefined field on another device, eliminating the need for manual input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users manually input content on each terminal device separately, then each device can store and access the content, but the input operation becomes repetitive and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary synchronization by automatically transferring content from a first terminal to a second terminal in advance, so that when the user needs to access content on the second terminal, it is already available there, eliminating the need for manual re-inputting
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a server as an intermediary between multiple terminal devices. The server receives content from one terminal and distributes it to other terminals, acting as a mediator that automates the content synchronization process across devices
2Reliability
If users manually input the same content on multiple terminal devices, then all devices have the content, but the operation becomes error-prone and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as a centralized intermediary that manages content distribution, ensuring that content is consistently and accurately transferred to multiple terminals without manual intervention, thereby improving content consistency while simplifying operations
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service content synchronization where terminals automatically receive and store content from the server without requiring user input, making the process error-free and operationally simple
3Reliability
If users increase input frequency to ensure content is available on all devices, then content availability improves, but input efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces the mechanical manual input process with an automated electronic content transfer system. The server automatically distributes content to multiple terminals, substituting manual typing with automated digital distribution, thereby maintaining content availability while dramatically improving efficiency

AI summary
The present application discloses methods and systems for synchronizing duplicated contents between multiple terminals. By establishing a mapping relationship between multiple accounts for different application programs installed on different terminals, a server may transmit captured contents between the accounts so that the contents are displayed and/or further distributed. After receiving a content forwarding request from a second account associated with a browser application in a second terminal, the server may process the content forwarding request, which includes the captured contents and identifiers. Using the identifiers and the mapping relationship, the server may identify a first terminal with an instant messaging application having a first account. The captured contents may be transferred to the first account so that the captured contents may be displayed and/or further distributed. The present application provides additional convenience and efficiency for multi-terminal operations.
