Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If third-party communication tools are used for data transmission between terminals, then data can be transferred between terminals, but the operation becomes complicated and efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of data transferVSAvoidefficiency of data transfer
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the data transmission function from third-party communication tools and creates a direct transmission mechanism between terminals using fingerprint identity information as the core protocol. This eliminates the need to copy data to intermediate tools and then forward it, directly resolving the complexity and efficiency issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces fingerprint identity information as a new intermediary mechanism that enables direct terminal-to-terminal communication. Instead of using traditional communication tools as mediators, the fingerprint-based identification system serves as the new intermediary that simplifies the transmission process while maintaining security and directness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If fingerprint identity information is used to establish direct association between terminals, then data transfer efficiency improves and convenience increases, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of data transferVSAvoidcomplexity of transmission system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes fingerprint identity information serve multiple functions: it acts as user authentication, terminal identification, and data transmission protocol simultaneously. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate complex systems while achieving efficient direct terminal communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter of terminal identification from traditional communication protocols to fingerprint-based biological identification. This parameter change enables a simpler, more direct transmission mechanism that bypasses complex intermediate systems while maintaining security and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Speed

If traditional communication protocols are used, then data transmission can be established, but the transmission speed and responsiveness are slow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidtime for data transfer
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by establishing fingerprint-based terminal associations in advance. When data needs to be transmitted, the pathway is already prepared through the fingerprint identity association, eliminating the need for complex real-time negotiation and authentication protocols, thus significantly reducing transmission time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent skips traditional complex communication protocol handshakes and authentication steps by using fingerprint identity information as a pre-established trust mechanism. This allows data to be transmitted directly between terminals without the time-consuming intermediate steps of traditional protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)

AI summary

A method of data transmission is described. Data content is acquired by processing circuitry of a first terminal. Fingerprint identity information corresponding to the data content is acquired by the processing circuitry of the first terminal. A fingerprint-based transfer request that includes the data content and the fingerprint identity information is sent to a server. In an embodiment, the fingerprint-based transfer request enables the server to establish an association relationship between the data content and the fingerprint identity information, to acquire, in response to receiving a fingerprint-based downloading request from a second terminal, target data content matching the fingerprint-based downloading request according to the association relationship, and to send the target data content to the second terminal.
