Mobile Terminal Content Share Mode Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal systems lack efficient methods for conveniently transmitting content between devices, particularly in a way that allows users to intuitively manage and control the transmission process, including selecting appropriate formats and ensuring seamless user interface environments.
Innovation Solution
A method for controlling mobile terminal operations that enables entering a content share mode, detecting compatible devices, specifying transmission formats, and transmitting content based on user commands, with features like thumbnail display for content preview and intuitive interface states to manage content transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If content transmission is enabled between mobile terminals, then content sharing capability is improved, but device complexity and control difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The content transmission process is segmented into distinct phases: detection of content share mode, format specification, and actual content transmission. Each phase is handled by dedicated control logic, breaking down the complex transmission process into manageable steps that reduce overall control complexity while maintaining full functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting and confirming content share mode before initiating transmission, and by specifying transmission formats in advance. This preliminary validation and configuration reduces the complexity of the actual transmission execution, as the parameters and conditions are already determined.
2Adaptability or versatility
If content transmission format specification is added, then transmission compatibility is improved, but operation steps increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal automatically specifies the content transmission format based on the detected content type and target device characteristics, without requiring manual user selection. This self-service approach maintains transmission compatibility while keeping the user interface simple, as the system handles the format specification autonomously.
3Ease of operation
If content preview functionality is provided, then user control is improved, but interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a simplified copy or representation of the content (such as a thumbnail or preview version) that can be displayed in the interface without requiring the full content processing capability. This copying approach enables user preview and control while keeping the interface structure relatively simple, as only the preview data needs to be rendered.

AI summary
A mobile terminal which can enter a content share mode, a mobile terminal system, and a method for controlling the operation of the same are provided. After entering a content share mode, a mobile terminal can transmit and receive content to and from another mobile terminal which is in the content share mode and within a predetermined distance. The mobile terminal can also specify a content transmission format. Before the content is transmitted, the content may be displayed on another mobile terminal using a thumbnail of the content. Users can conveniently transmit content between mobile terminals.
