Memory Card Receiver for Universal Data Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data transfer methods between peripheral devices and mobile phones are limited, as they require specific design and programming for each system, and manufacturers are reluctant to create separate receivers due to differing protocols, restricting data transfer across different wristop computers and mobile phones.
Innovation Solution
A memory card with a receiver is integrated into a mobile phone, allowing direct digital data transfer from peripheral devices to the mobile phone or from the wristop computer to the mobile phone's memory card, using a memory-card receiver and suitable software, enabling data transfer without modifying the peripheral devices or mobile phones.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manufacturers create separate receivers for each mobile phone to enable data transfer from peripheral devices, then data transfer capability is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase due to the need for multiple different receivers for different protocols
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a single receiver design that can handle multiple data transfer protocols. The receiver is configured to receive data from peripheral devices using different protocols (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, proprietary protocols) and forward them to mobile phones, eliminating the need for manufacturers to create separate receivers for each protocol.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary approach by positioning the receiver as a bridge between peripheral devices and mobile phones. The receiver acts as a protocol translator that receives data from various peripheral devices using different protocols and converts them into a format suitable for mobile phone processing, thereby enabling compatibility without requiring modifications to the mobile phones themselves.
2Reliability
If mobile phone manufacturers design and program specific receivers for each system, then data transfer reliability is improved, but ease of manufacture deteriorates due to the need for custom programming and design for each protocol
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by separating the protocol-specific receiving functions from the core receiver hardware. Different protocol handlers can be implemented as independent software modules or firmware components that can be loaded onto the receiver, allowing reliable protocol-specific processing while maintaining a standardized hardware platform that is easier to manufacture.
3Measurement precision
If peripheral devices and mobile phones are designed with specific protocols for data transfer, then data transfer precision is improved, but adaptability worsens due to the inability to transfer data between different systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by implementing a receiver that can dynamically adjust its operating parameters to match different data transfer protocols. The receiver modifies its communication parameters (such as frequency, modulation type, data format) based on the protocol required by the peripheral device, thereby maintaining precise data transfer while adapting to different system requirements.
