Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for data sharing between electronic devices are complicated and inaccurate, making it difficult for users to efficiently retrieve and share application data of common interest across different devices.

Innovation Solution

A data sharing method that determines whether to share application data based on device or user authentication, identifies relevant data through comparison of application data from both devices, and transmits specific data associated with common interests, using a processor to analyze user profile information and select data for sharing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually select and retrieve application data from connected devices or servers, then data sharing functionality is achieved, but the process becomes complicated and inaccurate in terms of user intent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing operationVSAvoiduser intent accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs data selection and sharing without requiring manual user intervention. The electronic device autonomously identifies common interests between users, selects relevant application data, and completes the sharing process, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous user control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-establishes user profiles and interest information before data sharing occurs. By storing user profile information in advance and analyzing common interests beforehand, the system prepares the necessary data selection criteria prior to when sharing is actually needed, eliminating the need for complicated real-time user selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If all application data is shared between devices, then complete data availability is achieved, but data transmission efficiency and relevance are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoiddata sharing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the relevant portion of application data that corresponds to common interests between users. Instead of transferring all data, it identifies and extracts specifically the data items that match both users' profiles and interests, thereby maintaining data availability for needed content while improving sharing efficiency by reducing unnecessary data transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different quality levels of data sharing based on local conditions - specifically, it tailors the data selection to each user's specific interest profile and the particular context of the interaction. Each user receives data with the appropriate level of detail and relevance based on their local preferences and needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
