Mobile Terminal Desktop Data Migration via Layout File
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for transferring desktop data between mobile terminals are time-consuming and inefficient, requiring users to manually reset desktops, which complicates the process and reduces efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for processing desktop data that involves acquiring desktop data from one mobile terminal, creating local folders, establishing mapping relationships between identifiers, and determining the installation status of applications to display icons with or without 'Not Installed' indications, facilitating seamless data migration and reduced setup time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users manually reset desktop to achieve desktop data transfer between mobile terminals, then desktop data can be transferred, but the process becomes time-consuming and operationally complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a desktop layout file that copies the desktop configuration information from the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal. This layout file contains shortcut information, folder structures, and application data that can be replicated automatically, eliminating the need for manual resetting while preserving the original desktop arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary packaging of desktop data into a structured layout file before transfer. The desktop configuration is prepared in advance with all necessary information (shortcut paths, folder structures, application data) organized in a standardized format, enabling automatic restoration on the target device without time-consuming manual operations.
2Reliability
If users manually reset desktop to transfer desktop data, then desktop data can be transferred, but the operation becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically copies desktop configuration from the source terminal to the target terminal using a standardized layout file format. Users simply need to import the layout file, and the system handles the complex restoration process automatically, maintaining data accuracy while simplifying user operations to a single action.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service functionality where the system automatically detects, parses, and restores desktop data from the layout file without requiring user intervention in the complex restoration process. The system autonomously recreates folder structures, shortcuts, and application data, making the operation simple for users while ensuring accurate data transfer.
3Reliability
If manual desktop resetting is performed, then desktop data can be transferred, but efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables efficient desktop data transfer by copying the entire desktop layout configuration in a standardized file format. The system can rapidly replicate folder structures, shortcuts, and application data without the iterative manual operations required by traditional resetting methods, significantly improving setup efficiency while maintaining data accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The desktop data is preliminarily packaged into an optimized layout file structure that enables rapid import and restoration. The pre-organized format with clear data relationships and metadata allows the system to quickly process and restore desktop configurations, eliminating time-consuming manual operations while ensuring accurate data transfer.
Data Source
AI summary
The desktop data of a first mobile terminal may be acquired. Then, a local folder is created for a terminal application according to a desktop layout file in the desktop data, and an identifier is set. A mapping relationship between identifiers of new and original folders is established. Then, an installation package of the terminal application is traversed to determine whether the terminal application is installed locally. If yes, a local folder to which the terminal application belongs is determined according to the mapping relationship, installation information of the terminal application is placed in the determined local folder, and an icon of the terminal application is displayed at a corresponding location on a local desktop according to location information of the terminal application.
