Motion Input File Splitting and Merging on GUI
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for splitting and merging files lack a convenient operation method, requiring pre-configurations for file size, number of partial files, and formats, which complicates the process of sending or storing files, especially when file size limitations are encountered.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize intuitive motion inputs, such as touchscreen or gesture inputs, to split and merge files on a graphical user interface, creating and reassembling partial files with headers containing preceding and next partial file pointers for seamless file management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional file splitting methods are used with pre-configurations, then file splitting functionality is achieved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects motion inputs (touchscreen gestures, drag operations) and initiates file splitting without requiring users to manually configure file size limits, number of partial files, or formatting options. The splitting module self-starts based on user intent detected through natural gestures, eliminating the need for pre-configurations while maintaining full splitting functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical interaction patterns (menu navigation, configuration dialogs, button sequences) with direct motion-based gestures on the graphical interface. Users can split files by simple drag operations or touchscreen motions, substituting complex configuration steps with intuitive physical movements that directly trigger the splitting function.
2Quantity of substance
If file size is increased to accommodate all data, then storage efficiency improves, but compatibility with email and web storage limitations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically segments large files into multiple smaller partial files based on detected motion input patterns. Each partial file is sized to fit within email and web storage limitations, while the segmentation process is transparent to the user who simply performs a gesture to initiate splitting. The original file is divided into manageable chunks that can be individually transmitted or stored.
Solution Approach 2:
The file splitting process is dynamically triggered by user gestures rather than static configuration settings. The system adapts the splitting behavior based on the motion input detected, automatically adjusting the number and size of partial files created. This dynamic approach ensures compatibility with various storage limitations without requiring users to pre-configure settings for different scenarios.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual configuration of file splitting parameters is required, then splitting precision improves, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of user intent through motion inputs before initiating the file splitting process. By detecting gestures such as dragging file icons or specific touchscreen patterns, the system pre-determines the splitting parameters based on the motion characteristics, eliminating the need for users to spend time manually configuring each parameter while maintaining precise control over the splitting process.

AI summary
Disclosed are a method and a computer system for splitting and merging files via a motion input on a graphical user interface. The method comprises determining existence of a motion input; splitting the file into split multiple partial files based on pre-configurations; and generating multiple partial file icons representing the split multiple partial files on the graphical user interface. The multiple partial files may be subsequently merged together.
