Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile devices typically have limited lifespans, requiring users to manually reload and reauthenticate various settings and information when switching to a new device, such as Wi-Fi connections, Bluetooth pairings, and application settings, leading to an inconvenient transition process.

Innovation Solution

Implementing techniques to transfer user information, including communication identifiers, applications, settings, and profiles, from one mobile device to another, using direct communication or a service computing device, with the use of a virtual layer for seamless transition, allowing the new device to maintain existing connections and configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual reloading and reauthentication of user information is performed when switching devices, then device transition is completed, but user convenience deteriorates and time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of device transitionVSAvoidtime for manual information transfer

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically transferring user information, communication identifiers, applications, and settings from the first mobile device to the second mobile device before the user needs to use the new device. This automated preliminary transfer eliminates the need for manual reloading and reauthentication operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses communication identifiers as intermediaries that allow the second mobile device to maintain existing connections and configurations. By transferring these identifiers along with user information, the system enables seamless transition without requiring manual reauthentication, as the identifiers serve as mediators between the old and new devices.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If device lifespan is limited and frequent replacement occurs, then newer models are obtained, but user information loss increases and transition complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveability to switch to newer modelsVSAvoidloss of user information during transition

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a universal transfer mechanism that works across different mobile device models and generations. By transferring comprehensive user information including communication identifiers, applications, and settings through a standardized process, the system ensures that user information is preserved regardless of which newer model is selected, making the transition process universally applicable.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a complete copy of user information, communication identifiers, applications, and settings from the first mobile device and transfers it to the second mobile device. This copying approach ensures that all user information is preserved during the transition to newer models, eliminating information loss while enabling frequent device replacement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If manual reauthentication of connections is performed, then device security is maintained, but user convenience deteriorates and operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconnection securityVSAvoidease of connection reestablishment

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Communication identifiers serve as secure intermediaries that maintain connection integrity during device transition. By transferring these identifiers along with user information, the system enables automated reauthentication that maintains security protocols while eliminating manual intervention. The identifiers act as secure mediators that preserve connection reliability without requiring users to manually reauthenticate.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary transfer of communication identifiers and user information before the user needs to reconnect to various services and devices. This preliminary action includes automatically reestablishing connections using the transferred identifiers, thereby maintaining security through automated authentication processes while improving ease of operation by eliminating manual reauthentication steps.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

In some examples, information is transferred between a first mobile device and a second mobile device. For instance, the second mobile device may receive, from the first mobile device, user information comprising a user communication identifier. Further, a communication may be transmitted via a communication interface device on the second mobile device. The communication may include the user communication identifier in place of a device communication identifier of the communication interface device.
