Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals face inconvenience in data sharing between wearable devices due to the time-consuming process of activating Bluetooth and selecting data for sharing.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal equipped with an IR transceiver for transmitting and receiving infrared signals, allowing for simplified data sharing by outputting an IR signal upon user input and sending shared data to another terminal upon receipt of a corresponding IR signal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If Bluetooth is used for data sharing between wearable devices, then wireless communication capability is achieved, but the operation time required increases considerably
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an infrared signal as an intermediary to initiate data sharing. Instead of directly using Bluetooth for the entire data transfer process, the infrared signal serves as a quick mediator to establish the connection and trigger the data sharing, thereby reducing the overall operation time while maintaining wireless communication capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring the data sharing parameters and keeping the Bluetooth module ready to activate. When a user initiates data sharing, the system has already prepared the necessary protocols and data packets, so that once the infrared signal is received, the data transfer can begin immediately without requiring manual activation or selection steps.
2Ease of operation
If manual selection of data for sharing is implemented, then user control over shared content is achieved, but the complexity of the operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically selecting and preparing data for sharing based on pre-set user preferences or recent usage patterns. The wearable device can autonomously determine which data to share without requiring manual user input, thereby simplifying the operation while maintaining user control through initial configuration settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the data selection step from the manual operation sequence. Instead of requiring users to manually browse and select data, the system automatically extracts and prepares the relevant data packets for sharing based on the communication intent, reducing the number of manipulation steps while maintaining data control.
