Electronic Device Image Sharing via Direct Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices require multiple operations to share images, relying on specific applications and server services, which complicates the process of quickly sharing images with external devices.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with communication modules and a processor that displays metadata including shared information, object-related external devices, and a share button, allowing for direct image transmission to selected external devices without the need for sharing applications or server services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional image sharing methods using sharing applications and server services are used, then image sharing functionality is achieved, but the process requires multiple operations and increases complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential image sharing functionality from complex sharing applications and server services, implementing a simplified direct transmission mechanism between devices using communication modules. This removes unnecessary intermediate layers while preserving core sharing capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication module is designed to handle multiple functions including image transmission, metadata sharing, and device identification in a unified manner, eliminating the need for separate sharing applications for different functions.
2Productivity
If traditional image sharing methods are used, then image transmission is achieved, but time consumption increases due to multiple operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing device identification information and communication parameters in metadata, allowing images to be transmitted directly without requiring real-time device discovery or connection setup during the sharing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements direct image transmission by skipping intermediate steps such as server upload/download, application-based sharing workflows, and multiple confirmation operations, achieving rapid point-to-point transfer between devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If sharing applications and server services are used, then image sharing is enabled, but dependency on additional services increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by enabling devices to perform image sharing autonomously using built-in communication modules and metadata, without requiring external server services or third-party sharing applications. The device handles its own image transmission and routing.
