Gesture-Based File Transfer Mechanism for Simplified Device Pairing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current file transmission methods in computer systems are inconvenient, requiring users to manually search for connected devices, understand connection protocols, and perform operations like copying and pasting, which can be complex and user-unfriendly, especially for those unfamiliar with computer apparatus connections.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for sending file data that allows users to interact with adjacent devices through translational or rotational touch gestures, determining if a file shift exceeds a preset position to initiate transmission, and optionally dividing files based on user browsing state to simplify the sharing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual file transmission methods are used (searching for devices, copying and pasting), then file transmission can be achieved, but the operation becomes complex and inconvenient for users
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects nearby devices and initiates file transmission without requiring users to manually search for devices or understand connection protocols. The transmission process is automated through gesture-based triggering, eliminating the need for users to perform complex manual operations like copying and pasting.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical interaction methods (clicking, copying, pasting) with gesture-based control. Users simply perform gestures such as translating or rotating the device, which are naturally intuitive and require no technical knowledge of file systems or connection protocols.
2Ease of operation
If users need to understand computer connection knowledge to send files, then file transmission can be performed, but the learning curve increases and usability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically handles all technical aspects of file transmission including device discovery, connection establishment, and data transfer. Users only need to perform simple gestures, and the system takes care of everything else, completely eliminating the need for users to learn about computer connections or file systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The gesture-based interface provides a universal method for file transmission that works regardless of the user's technical knowledge. The same simple gestures can be used by anyone, from beginners to experts, making the system universally accessible without requiring specialized knowledge.
3Productivity
If traditional file copying methods are used, then file transmission is achieved, but multiple operations are required increasing time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate operations (device search, connection establishment, file selection, and transmission initiation) into a single gesture-based action. By combining these steps, the system dramatically reduces the time required for file transmission while maintaining full functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions automatically, such as pre-detecting nearby devices and pre-establishing connection readiness before the user even initiates the gesture. This preparation work is done in advance, so when the user performs the gesture, transmission begins immediately without requiring the user to wait through multiple sequential steps.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and a device for sending file data. The method comprises: obtaining a shift that is relative to an initial position of a to-be-sent file and is generated when a representative to-be-sent file shifts in a display area; determining whether a position of the to-be-sent file after the shift exceeds a preset position; and if the position of the to-be-sent file after shifting reaches or exceeds the preset position, sending the to-be-sent file to a corresponding receiving terminal.
