Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack the ability to dynamically share data based on the approaching direction of peripheral devices, limiting the flexibility and user experience in data exchange operations.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a communication module and a control module that senses the proximity of peripheral devices and determines the appropriate data to share and output region based on the device's screen state and the approaching direction, using multiple communication schemes such as Bluetooth, NFC, and WiFi to facilitate seamless data sharing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device shares predefined data through predefined operations, then the data sharing function is simple and reliable, but the flexibility and adaptability of data sharing is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic data sharing by detecting the approaching direction of peripheral devices and automatically selecting sharing data and output regions based on the detection results. The system transitions from static predefined sharing to dynamic context-aware sharing, where the sharing behavior adapts to the spatial relationship between devices without requiring complex manual configuration from users.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device performs self-service by automatically determining which data to share and where to output it based on the detected approaching direction of peripheral devices. The system autonomously selects sharing data from multiple types and determines output regions without requiring users to manually specify sharing parameters, reducing operational complexity while maintaining flexibility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the sharing application ends previously executed applications or changes screen output, then data sharing can be implemented, but user information provision is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display screen into multiple output regions (first output region and second output region) that can independently display different content. The sharing application operates in the second output region while the first output region continues to display previously executed application information, allowing simultaneous operation without ending other applications and preserving user information accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a spatial dimension by utilizing different output regions on the display screen. Instead of replacing the entire screen content when sharing data, the system overlays sharing information in a specific region while maintaining other regions for previous application content, effectively adding a dimensional layer to the display rather than replacing it.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device uses multiple communication schemes for data sharing, then the versatility of data exchange is improved, but the complexity of proximity sensing and data determination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality by equipping the electronic device with multiple communication schemes (first and second communication schemes) that can be selectively used based on the detected approaching direction of peripheral devices. The same proximity sensing mechanism serves multiple communication purposes, and the control module统一管理 different communication modes, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.
