Innovation Solution

A method and device that determine the target application by analyzing the moving direction and displacement of the mobile terminal, allowing users to transmit data directly to the intended application without multiple selections, using sensors and pre-defined conditions to identify the target application.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional data transmission methods are used between applications, then data can be transmitted, but the process becomes complex requiring multiple user operations and selections

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission processVSAvoidtime for multiple selections and switches
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes spatial relationships between applications and pre-defines transmission paths based on mobile terminal movement directions. When the user moves the device, the target application is automatically identified based on pre-configured spatial mappings, eliminating the need for users to manually select target applications during the transmission process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically identifies the target application for data transmission by detecting the mobile terminal's movement direction and comparing it with pre-defined spatial relationships between applications. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual user intervention in selecting the target application, thereby simplifying the operation process and reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If multiple application selections are required for data transmission, then precise target selection is achieved, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetarget application selection accuracyVSAvoidtransmission process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal's movement direction serves as an intermediary that bridges the user's intent and the target application selection. By detecting the direction and distance of device movement, the system automatically maps this physical action to the corresponding target application based on pre-defined spatial relationships, thereby achieving precise selection without complex multi-step operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the selection parameter from manual application naming or icon selection to physical movement parameters (direction and distance). This parameter transformation allows the system to identify the target application through the mobile terminal's spatial displacement, simplifying the interface while maintaining precise target selection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If manual selection of target application is used, then user control is maintained, but transmission efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidnumber of operations required
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces the mechanical interaction of manual tapping and selecting with motion-based control. By utilizing the mobile terminal's movement detection capabilities, the system translates physical device movement into application selection and data transmission initiation, thereby improving transmission efficiency while maintaining intuitive user control through natural device handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
