Mobile Terminal Multimedia Sharing via Profile Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of mobile terminals face inconvenience and economic loss due to the need to access networks via intermediate devices to share multimedia content, such as music files, ringtones, and videos, which is time-consuming and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for optimized sharing of multimedia content using profile information shared between devices via short-range wireless communication, allowing devices to connect, exchange profile information, and prioritize content based on signal strength, enabling direct sharing and conversion of content for optimal playback on the user's device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users access networks via intermediate devices to share multimedia content, then content sharing is enabled, but user convenience deteriorates and time loss increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the mobile terminal as an intermediary device that receives profile information from peripheral devices via short-range wireless communication, processes it to determine compatibility, and then facilitates optimized content delivery. This mediator approach enables direct device-to-device content sharing while maintaining user convenience and reducing time loss by eliminating the need for traditional network access through PCs or base stations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If profile information is received and processed from multiple peripheral devices, then content optimization capability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the content sharing system into distinct functional modules: a communication unit for receiving profile information, a controller for processing and determining compatibility, and a content delivery mechanism. This segmentation allows the mobile terminal to handle multiple peripheral devices efficiently by processing profile information in an organized manner without overwhelming the system, thus improving adaptability while managing complexity.
3Ease of operation
If direct short-range wireless communication is used for content sharing, then network access requirement is reduced, but communication range is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by having peripheral devices pre-generate and transmit their profile information (including content metadata, format specifications, and device capabilities) via short-range wireless communication before actual content transfer. This preliminary exchange of profile information enables the mobile terminal to determine compatibility and prepare for optimized content delivery, making the most of limited short-range communication while maintaining high sharing efficiency.
