Mobile Device Data Transmission via Motion and Location Sensing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional data transmission systems in mobile devices require users to manually input phone numbers of recipients, which is inconvenient, especially when sending data like electronic business cards to multiple people, as they need to enter each recipient's phone number individually.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that uses a mobile device with a short-range communication unit, location measurement module, and motion sensing unit to search for nearby external devices, acquire their location information, and transmit data to target devices based on the device's movement, allowing users to select recipients by directing the device towards them.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually input phone numbers to transmit data, then data can be sent to specific recipients, but the operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming especially when sending to multiple people
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs recipient identification and selection by detecting the mobile device's movement and matching it with location information of external devices, eliminating the need for manual phone number input and enabling self-service data transmission
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical input method (typing phone numbers) with an automated sensing system that uses motion sensors to detect device movement and automatically identifies target recipients based on location data, substituting physical keyboard interaction with sensor-based automation
2Ease of operation
If the system automatically identifies recipients based on device movement, then user convenience is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional sensors and processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device integrates multiple functions into existing components: the motion sensor serves both for user interface interaction and for recipient identification, while the location information system serves both navigation and target device selection purposes, reducing overall system complexity through multi-functionality

AI summary
A method and a mobile device are adapted to transmit data through short-range communication based on movement of the mobile device. External mobile devices near the mobile device are searched. Location information for each external mobile device found near the mobile device is acquired. Data to be transmitted is set. The movement of the mobile device is recognized. At least one target mobile device is set to receive data, based on the movement of the mobile device and the acquired location information of the found external mobile devices. And the data is transmitted to the at least one target mobile device.
