Mobile Data Sharing via Telephony Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current social network systems lack the capability to seamlessly integrate user-generated content, such as status updates, videos, and photographs, with smartphone telephony interactions, limiting the ability to share personalized and dynamic content with specific contacts or groups in real-time.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for enhancing data sharing between mobile devices, allowing users to submit content with associated submission data and a specified time frame, which is then displayed on recipient devices with push notifications, enabling integration with native contact lists and secure, time-limited sharing of images and videos.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If social network systems are designed for traditional posting and viewing within social networks, then content sharing within the social network is established, but real-time integration with smartphone telephony interactions is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends social network content sharing functionality to multiple communication contexts including telephony interactions, text messages, and voice calls. The system allows a single content sharing mechanism to serve multiple communication channels and interaction types, making the system versatile across different smartphone communication modes while maintaining a unified approach to content distribution
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary components including a server system that mediates between the social network platform and telephony systems, and application programming interfaces (APIs) that serve as intermediaries between different software components. These intermediaries enable integration without requiring complete system redesign, thus managing complexity while achieving adaptability
2Adaptability or versatility
If social networks lack logic to mix user posts with smartphone telephony interactions, then content sharing is limited to social network contexts, but personalized real-time sharing with specific contacts is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements pre-configured content sharing settings where users can specify in advance which contacts receive which types of content through which communication channels. The system pre-processes and categorizes user content according to these predetermined rules, enabling personalized sharing without requiring complex real-time user decisions during telephony interactions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different content sharing rules and formats to different contacts and communication contexts. Each contact or contact group can have customized content delivery parameters including content type, delivery timing, and communication channel selection. This localized customization enables personalized sharing while the system manages complexity through automated rule-based distribution
3Ease of operation
If content is shared without time limitations, then ease of access is improved, but security and control over content availability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic content expiration mechanisms where content automatically becomes inaccessible after a predetermined time period. The system dynamically manages content availability by enforcing time-based access rules while maintaining user convenience through automated expiration handling. Users benefit from both easy access during the valid period and automatic security enforcement without manual intervention
Data Source
AI summary
A method of enhancing data sharing between mobile or other computing device users includes receiving a submission request generated by user interaction with a first user interface on a first computing device, the submission request including content and associated submission data indicative of a recipient of the content, and updating a second user interface on a second computing device associated with the recipient to make the content available for display. The method may include sending a push notification to the second computing device indicating that the content is available for display for a period of time.
