Solution Overview

Problem

Migrating data between mobile devices, especially when they are associated with different networks and data ecosystems, is challenging due to the lack of an efficient method for transferring files across devices of varying types and entities.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize a dedicated data migration network address, where messages with attachments are processed to automatically store data in specific memory portions based on attachment type, while discarding messages from unauthorized sources or outside a designated time frame, ensuring secure and targeted data transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If data migration is enabled between devices with different networks and data ecosystems, then data transfer capability is improved, but security risks and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata migration capabilityVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a dedicated data migration network address as an intermediary channel between devices. This special address acts as a mediator that enables data transfer between different data ecosystems while maintaining security through controlled access. The intermediary address allows devices from different networks to communicate for data migration purposes without compromising overall system security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by validating the source device against a whitelist of authorized devices before allowing data migration. This preliminary verification ensures that only approved devices can transfer data through the dedicated migration address, preventing unauthorized access and establishing security before the actual data transfer occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If automatic data categorization and storage is implemented, then data migration efficiency is improved, but device memory management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata migration efficiencyVSAvoidmemory management
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data into distinct categories based on attachment type (e.g., documents, images, videos) and stores them in separate memory portions. This segmentation approach automatically organizes migrating data without requiring complex manual memory management, as the system divides and places data into appropriate segments based on their types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The data migration system performs self-service by automatically detecting attachment types and routing data to appropriate memory portions without user intervention. The system monitors incoming data, identifies its category, and stores it in the correct location autonomously, eliminating the need for complex user-managed memory organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If data transfer is limited to authorized devices and time periods, then security is improved, but data migration flexibility decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoiddata transfer flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating a dedicated data migration network address with specific access characteristics. This local address has unique properties that allow it to enforce security constraints (authorized devices and time periods) while maintaining the flexibility needed for data migration. The localized nature of this address enables targeted security control without affecting other network communications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A system, method and device for migrating data are provided. An attachment type of an attachment received with a message at a device is determined, the message associated with a network address of the device dedicated to data migration. The attachment is stored in a portion of the memory associated with the attachment type.
