Image Code Generation for Cross-Device Operation Handover
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face the inconvenience of repeatedly accessing and inputting URLs or performing processes to continue operations across different systems, such as switching from a PC to a smartphone, especially when accessing webpages or audio sources without knowing the URL.
Innovation Solution
A system and method using image codes, like QR codes, to generate and display URLs of webpages, allowing users to photograph and transfer these codes between systems, enabling seamless continuation of operations without manual URL input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually input URLs or repeat access processes to continue operations in a different system, then the operation can be transferred between systems, but the time and effort required increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by generating and displaying an image code containing the URL information before the user needs to transfer the operation. The first system prepares the image code in advance, which the user can then simply photograph with the second system, eliminating the need for manual URL input and significantly reducing the time and effort required for operation transfer.
2Productivity
If users photograph and transfer image codes between systems, then operation transfer becomes efficient and quick, but the system complexity increases due to image code generation and recognition functions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses an image code as an intermediary medium to transfer operation information between systems. Instead of requiring direct system-to-system communication or complex data exchange protocols, the image code serves as a simple, universal intermediary that any system with a camera and basic image recognition capability can use, thus improving productivity without significantly increasing overall system complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users access webpages through portal sites repeatedly, then they can continue operations across different systems, but the number of access steps and process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential operation transfer information (URL) from the complex multi-step access process and encapsulates it in a simple image code. This allows users to transfer operations between systems directly through photographing the image code, eliminating the need to repeatedly access portal sites and reducing process complexity while maintaining adaptability across different systems.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for delivering information using an image code. A first system for handing over to a second system an operation being performed by the first system includes an image code generation unit to generate the image code using a uniform resource locator (URL) of a webpage; and a display control unit to control the image code to be displayed via a display device. The image code is photographed by the second system and input to the second system in the form of an image file, and the URL is extracted from the image code in the second system so that the webpage is displayed in the second system.
