Image Recognition File Transmission on Small Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing file transmission methods between terminals require manual selection of files using a mouse or finger, making the process complex and cumbersome, especially on devices with small screens.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize image recognition to determine the file to be transmitted by photographing it and comparing the image with a screenshot of the sending terminal's window, allowing for automatic selection and transmission of files without manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual file selection is used (dragging with mouse or tapping with finger), then file transmission can be performed, but the operation process becomes complex and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual selection operation (mouse dragging or finger tapping) with an optical recognition system. The camera captures an image of the file, and image recognition algorithms automatically identify and select the file, substituting physical manual operations with optical and computational processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service file selection by automatically recognizing and selecting files based on captured images. The terminal device performs file selection autonomously through image recognition and processing, without requiring manual user intervention to navigate and select files.
2Productivity
If manual file selection is required, then file transmission can be achieved, but the transmission speed is reduced due to complex operation steps
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing the file image in advance and pre-processing the image data. The image recognition and file identification occur before the actual transmission begins, preparing the file selection in advance to eliminate delays during the transmission process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces time-consuming manual mechanical operations with automated optical recognition and computational processing. The camera and image processing system rapidly identify and select files, significantly reducing the time required compared to manual mouse operations or finger tapping.
3Ease of operation
If manual selection interface is used, then file can be selected, but the interface becomes cluttered and difficult to navigate on small screens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the file selection function from the traditional graphical user interface. Instead of requiring users to navigate through interface elements and file listings on the small screen, the system extracts the file identification task and solves it through external image capture and recognition, removing the need for complex interface interactions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary medium (camera image capture) between the user and the file selection process. Rather than directly interacting with the terminal's limited display interface, the user captures an image of the file, and this image serves as an intermediary that enables file identification without requiring the terminal's display interface to present complex selection options.
Data Source
AI summary
A method, terminal, and system for transmitting a file between multiple terminals is described. The method includes obtaining a picture, which is photographed by a file receiving end from a file sending end from a file sending end and includes a to-be-transmitted file, and performing image recognition on the obtained picture to determine the to-be-transmitted file of the file sending end, the picture of the to-be-transmitted file being displayed on a display interface of the file sending end. The method further includes determining a file path of the to-be-transmitted file according to the determined to-be-transmitted file, obtaining the to-be-transmitted file according to the file path of the to-be-transmitted file, and transmitting the to-be-transmitted file to the file receiving end.
