Portable Memory Appliance for Unconscious Document Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices for transferring documents between mobile devices require conscious user intervention and lack secure, unconscious data transfer capabilities, with documents often being stored on network systems that are not secure and requiring explicit user identification.
Innovation Solution
A portable Shuttle Memory Appliance (SMA) with a wireless transceiver, memory, and processor that enables unconscious data capture and transfer between devices, allowing documents to be stored only on a user's personal computer and eliminating the need for network storage and explicit user identification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If documents are stored on network systems for transfer, then document accessibility is improved, but document security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The portable device serves as an intermediary between the unconscious capture device and the destination device. Documents are captured by the unconscious capture device, transferred to the portable device for secure storage, and then transferred to the destination device when needed. This intermediary approach eliminates the need for network storage, maintaining security while enabling accessibility.
2Reliability
If explicit user identification is required for document transfer, then authorization security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The portable device automatically identifies itself to the unconscious capture device using a unique identifier, enabling unconscious transfer without requiring user intervention. The device performs the authorization process autonomously, eliminating the need for explicit user identification while maintaining security through automatic device recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable device is pre-configured with a unique identifier that enables automatic recognition and authorization. This preliminary setup allows the device to perform self-identification and authorization automatically during transfer operations, eliminating the need for explicit user identification during operation.
3Ease of operation
If conscious user intervention is required for document transfer, then transfer control is improved, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables unconscious transfer where the portable device automatically receives documents from the unconscious capture device without requiring user intervention. The device autonomously performs capture, storage, and transfer operations, dramatically improving productivity while maintaining secure control through automatic device identification and authorization.
