Endpoint PC Mediating Multi-Device Data Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile device management software only allows for simple information management on a single device and does not facilitate information transfer and sharing among multiple mobile apparatuses.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that uses an endpoint PC to identify and display data from connected mobile devices, convert formats if necessary, and transfer or synchronize data between devices, enabling information sharing among multiple mobile devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If mobile device management software manages information on a single device only, then the software structure remains simple, but information transfer and sharing among multiple mobile apparatuses cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an endpoint PC as an intermediary device that mediates between multiple mobile apparatuses. The endpoint PC receives data from multiple mobile devices, processes and converts formats, then transfers data to destination devices. This intermediary approach enables multi-device information sharing without requiring direct peer-to-peer communication between mobile devices, thus resolving the contradiction between versatility and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The endpoint PC is designed with multi-functional capabilities to handle various data formats from different mobile apparatus types. It can identify, display, convert formats, and transfer data between different mobile devices, making it a universal management platform that supports diverse mobile apparatuses while providing centralized control for information sharing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data format conversion is performed during transfer, then compatibility between different mobile apparatuses is improved, but transfer time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The endpoint PC performs format conversion as a preliminary action before data transfer to the destination mobile apparatus. By converting data formats in advance at the endpoint PC, the system ensures compatibility with the destination device without requiring complex real-time format negotiation during the transfer process, thus balancing compatibility requirements with transfer efficiency.

AI summary
A method and a system for information transfer and sharing among mobile apparatuses are disclosed. The method includes the steps of identifying and displaying data in each mobile apparatus as well as simultaneously indicating each name of each mobile apparatus on an endpoint PC when at least two mobile apparatuses are connected to the endpoint PC; transferring or synchronizing the data in a designated mobile apparatus to or with a destination mobile apparatus when an instruction for data transfer or data synchronization is received. The present invention can fulfill information transfer and sharing among multiple mobile apparatuses.
