Mobile Device Information Type Transformation for Receiver Compatibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for communication between mobile devices and receivers fail when they use different information types, such as QR codes and barcodes, leading to a lack of compatibility and hindered communication.
Innovation Solution
A method that recognizes the receiving information type of the communication receiver and transforms the storing information type of the mobile device into a compatible sending information type, enabling communication by using a recognition request, transformation, and prioritization based on speed or security, which can be automatic or user-activated.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the mobile device and communication receiver use different information types (e.g., barcode vs QR code), then communication is enabled, but compatibility is lost and communication fails
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the information type parameter of the data signal by transforming it from one format (e.g., barcode) to another format (e.g., QR code) that is compatible with the communication receiver, thereby resolving the incompatibility issue while maintaining communication reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary conversion process that mediates between the mobile device's stored information type and the communication receiver's required information type, enabling compatible communication without requiring changes to either the device or receiver hardware
2Adaptability or versatility
If the information type is transformed from one format to another, then compatibility is improved, but additional transformation steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device automatically performs the information type transformation itself without requiring external assistance, making the system self-sufficient and reducing overall complexity by eliminating the need for separate conversion devices or manual intervention
3Productivity
If automatic recognition and transformation is implemented, then communication speed is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device performs automatic recognition and transformation of the information type in advance, before the actual communication takes place, so that when communication is needed, the device is already prepared and compatible, eliminating delays and reducing the need for repeated processing that would consume more energy
