Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack the ability to intuitively transfer applications and related data between networked devices, requiring physical contact and being limited to single-device operations, without supporting the transfer of application states or volatile memory data.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If touch-based interfaces are used to initiate file transfer, then the transfer can be initiated, but the device must be physically touched and only files can be transferred
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical touch-based input system with a three-dimensional motion sensing system that detects gestures in air space. The motion sensing input device captures hand movements and translates them into device control commands, eliminating the need for physical contact with the device surface while enabling more versatile data transfer operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional touch screen gestures to three-dimensional spatial gestures. By utilizing depth information and spatial positioning of hand movements, the system enables new interaction modes that go beyond flat screen gestures, allowing for more intuitive and versatile data transfer initiation without physical contact.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional file transfer methods are used, then files can be transferred between devices, but application states and volatile memory data cannot be transferred
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal data transfer system that can handle multiple types of data including files, application states, and volatile memory data through a single gesture-based interface. The motion sensing system recognizes different gesture patterns to initiate various transfer operations, making the system multi-functional without increasing operational complexity for the user.
3Ease of operation
If three-dimensional motion sensing is implemented, then gesture-based control is enabled, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a motion sensing input device as an intermediary component that handles the complex task of capturing and processing three-dimensional hand movements. This dedicated sensor module acts as a mediator between the user's gestures and the device's control system, isolating the complexity within a specialized component rather than distributing it throughout the entire system.
