Mobile Device Image Transmission via Segmented Resolution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
High-resolution pictures taken with mobile devices occupy large resources, causing issues with email systems and limiting recipients to only receive low-quality images, as existing solutions restrict the ability to enhance image quality post-sharing.
Innovation Solution
An electronic mobile device captures high-resolution pictures and creates a low-resolution version for immediate sharing, while sending the high-resolution image to a database for storage when network resources are sufficient, allowing for later retrieval if needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If high resolution pictures are sent directly, then picture quality is improved, but network resources and system handling capacity are overwhelmed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the picture transmission process into two separate transmissions: first a low-resolution version for immediate delivery, then a high-resolution version for enhanced quality recipients. This segmentation allows the system to handle different quality requirements separately, reducing the burden on network resources while preserving the option for high quality delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by sending only a portion of the full picture quality (low-resolution version) to all recipients initially, then providing the complete high-resolution version only to those who specifically request or need it. This partial delivery approach reduces overall network resource consumption while maintaining the capability for full quality delivery when necessary.
2Quantity of substance
If low resolution pictures are sent to save resources, then network resources are preserved, but picture quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic transmission strategy where the picture quality delivered is not fixed but adapts based on recipient needs and network conditions. The system first delivers a low-resolution version dynamically, then provides the high-resolution version dynamically to those who request it, allowing the delivery quality to flex according to actual requirements rather than being statically determined.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by sending the low-resolution picture version first as a preliminary delivery to all recipients immediately. This preliminary version satisfies immediate viewing needs, and then the high-resolution version is sent as a follow-up action to those who need enhanced quality, ensuring that resource-intensive delivery is performed only when necessary.
3Quantity of substance
If quality is selected before sending, then file size is reduced, but the ability to enhance quality later is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy strategy where a low-resolution copy is sent immediately to all recipients, while the original high-resolution version is preserved and sent separately to those who need it. This copying approach allows recipients to receive a usable copy immediately while maintaining the option to obtain the full-quality original version later, preserving quality enhancement capability without sacrificing immediate deliverability.

AI summary
A method in a system for sending a picture from an electronic mobile device to an electronic device is provided. The picture is to be sent over a wireless communications network. The system comprises the electronic mobile device, the wireless communications network, and the electronic device, and the electronic mobile device comprises a camera unit. The camera unit captures a high resolution picture. The electronic mobile device creates a low resolution picture based on the high resolution picture. The electronic mobile device sends the low resolution picture to the electronic device, and, when a quality of resources in the wireless communications network is above a threshold, sends the high resolution picture to at least one database for storage. Further, such a system is provided.
