Information Transfer Device for Mobile Relay Data Upload
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Customers of network service providers face challenges in uploading information from customer storage devices to network storage devices without maintaining expensive network connections, and they have varying preferences regarding what information to upload, when, and how, which existing technologies do not effectively address.
Innovation Solution
Implementing an information transfer device that connects customer storage devices to nearby mobile devices, which then transmit the information to a network storage device based on customer-specified conditions and user communication preferences, allowing for efficient data transfer without direct expensive connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If customers maintain expensive network connections to upload information from customer storage devices to network storage devices, then data transmission reliability is improved, but operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces mobile devices as intermediary components between customer storage devices and network storage devices. These mobile devices receive information from customer storage devices via local communication interfaces and subsequently transmit the information to network storage devices, eliminating the need for customers to maintain expensive direct network connections while ensuring reliable data transmission through the intermediary mobile device channel
2Reliability
If existing technologies are used for data upload, then network connectivity is maintained, but customer preferences regarding what, when, and how to upload are not effectively addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adaptability by enabling mobile devices to operate in multiple modes: they can function as local communication interfaces for receiving data, as network communication interfaces for uploading data, and can switch between different communication protocols and networks based on customer-specified preferences and conditions. This dynamic behavior allows the system to adapt to varying customer requirements regarding what information to upload, when to upload, and how to upload, while maintaining network connectivity through flexible communication pathways

AI summary
A device may determine a condition for providing customer information to a mobile device. The device may detect the mobile device, and may request, from the mobile device and based on detecting the mobile device, information that identifies a user communication preference associated with providing the customer information to the mobile device. The device may receive, from the mobile device and based on the request, the information that identifies the user communication preference. The device may determine whether the customer information is to be provided to the mobile device based on the user communication preference and the condition, and may selectively provide the customer information and an instruction to the mobile device based on determining whether the customer information is to be provided to the mobile device. The instruction may cause the mobile device to relay the customer information to a network storage device.
