Solution Overview

Problem

Current information sharing methods are inefficient and inconvenient, particularly under poor network conditions, and fail to automatically filter or convert data types or file formats, leading to poor user experience and incomplete or inaccessible sharing results.

Innovation Solution

An information sharing method that processes information based on preset rules and conditions, including data type, file format, network speed, and user terminal capabilities, to convert, compress, or encrypt data, ensuring it can be intelligently filtered, hidden, or displayed appropriately for sharing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If information is shared directly without processing under poor network conditions, then the sharing process takes a very long time, but processing the information first would require additional computational resources and time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharing timeVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by processing information before sharing it. The system pre-processes information to convert it into different formats (text, voice, image) and stores processed versions in advance, so that when sharing is needed, the processed information can be transmitted quickly without requiring real-time processing during the sharing operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments information into multiple formats and types. Instead of sharing raw information only, the system divides information into text segments, voice segments, and image segments, allowing the receiving terminal to choose and receive only the appropriate format based on current conditions, thereby reducing overall transmission time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of energy

If the receiving terminal receives sharing information with insufficient traffic, then additional traffic cost is incurred, but reducing the information size may result in loss of information quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraffic costVSAvoidinformation quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different quality versions of information for different situations. The system processes information into multiple quality levels and formats, allowing the receiving terminal to select the appropriate quality level based on available traffic. For example, a compressed version can be sent when traffic is limited, while the original high-quality version is retained for when sufficient traffic is available.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Quantity of substance

If the receiving terminal has insufficient storage space, then information cannot be received or only a portion is received, but filtering information before sharing may result in important information being omitted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage space utilizationVSAvoidinformation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the information sharing process adaptive to the receiving terminal's current storage status. The system dynamically queries the receiving terminal's available storage space and adjusts the sharing strategy in real-time. If storage is insufficient, the system can either compress information to fit, split information into multiple transmissions, or notify the user to free up space, ensuring information completeness while adapting to storage constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Reliability

If the receiving terminal cannot open the received information, then the sharing is ineffective, but converting information formats may require additional processing resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidformat conversion complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by making the information sharing system compatible with multiple formats and terminal types. The system processes information into universal formats (text, voice, image) that can be opened by most receiving terminals. By converting information into these widely-supported formats in advance, the system ensures broad accessibility without requiring the receiving terminal to have specialized software or processing capabilities for rare formats.

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

5Adaptability or versatility

If certain information types cannot be shared (such as voice information in WeChat), then the sharing functionality is limited, but supporting all information types would increase system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation type compatibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the intermediary principle by introducing a format conversion layer between the information source and the receiving terminal. Instead of requiring the sharing system to directly support every possible information type, the system uses format conversion technology as an intermediary that transforms specialized formats into universally supported formats. This allows the system to maintain versatility in accepting various information types while keeping the core sharing mechanism relatively simple and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
