External Input Device Mediator for Wireless Information Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless information transmission services require a direct communication channel between devices and often necessitate the execution of a specific application, limiting the ability to transmit information without active connection or application execution.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows for the transmission of information using an external input device, enabling selection and transmission of target information displayed on a device, regardless of application execution, through short-distance wireless communication, with adaptive data transmission based on storage capacity and authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a direct communication channel between devices is required for content sharing, then reliable information transmission is achieved, but device connectivity requirements increase and operational flexibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an external input device as an intermediary that bridges the source device and target device. This mediator enables information transmission without requiring a direct communication channel between the source and target devices, thereby maintaining transmission reliability while reducing connectivity requirements. The external input device receives information from the source device and forwards it to the target device through alternative communication paths.
2Reliability
If application execution is required for content sharing, then controlled information transmission is achieved, but system complexity increases and operational flexibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the information transmission function from the application execution context. Instead of requiring a specific application to be running on both devices for content sharing, the system enables direct information transfer through the external input device. This separation removes the dependency on application execution while maintaining controlled and reliable information transmission.
3Productivity
If information is transmitted without storage capacity consideration, then transmission speed is maximized, but data loss occurs when storage is full
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the external input device communicates its storage capacity status to the source device. Based on this feedback, the source device dynamically adjusts its transmission behavior - continuing at high speed when capacity is available and pausing or prioritizing different data when storage is full. This feedback loop maintains both transmission speed and data completeness reliability.
Data Source
AI summary
An information transmission method performed by a device is provided. The method includes receiving a selection, performed by an external input device, of target information displayed on the device, extracting the target information corresponding to the selection of the external input device, and transmitting information corresponding to the target information to the external input device.
