Solution Overview

Problem

The existing DLNA technology for media file sharing is complex and prone to errors due to the need for multiple layers of operation and manual device selection, making it difficult to share files quickly and accurately.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that preset a local area network (LAN) and DLNA application as defaults, generate an NFC triggering label embedded with the sharing pair relationship, and activate it for automatic login and pairing between master and slave devices, enabling simple and accurate media file sharing through NFC sensing operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional DLNA technology is used for media file sharing, then media files can be shared between devices, but the operation process becomes complex and prone to errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesharing accuracyVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring sharing information including LAN details, DLNA application parameters, media file identifiers, and device pairing relationships into an NFC triggering label before the actual sharing operation. This pre-packaging of all necessary sharing parameters eliminates the need for complex real-time configuration during file sharing, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining sharing reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an NFC triggering label as an intermediary carrier that stores and transmits sharing information between devices. This intermediary element simplifies the direct device-to-device communication process by providing a pre-configured information package, reducing the complexity of direct DLNA pairing operations while ensuring accurate file sharing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If manual device selection and multiple layer browsing is required, then comprehensive device search is achieved, but user operation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesharing speedVSAvoidoperation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring sharing information including LAN details, DLNA application parameters, media file identifiers, and device pairing relationships into an NFC triggering label before the actual sharing operation. This pre-packaging of all necessary sharing parameters eliminates the need for complex real-time configuration during file sharing, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining sharing reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential sharing parameters (LAN information, DLNA application settings, media file identifiers, and device pairing relationships) from the complex DLNA configuration process and consolidates them into a compact NFC triggering label. This extraction simplifies the user interaction to a single NFC scan operation, dramatically reducing operation time while maintaining complete device search and selection capabilities

Inventive Principle:
