Solution Overview

Problem

Current solutions do not provide intuitive ways to save, sort, search, and share a wide range of media types, including photos, videos, and audios, based on their descriptions, and lack printing capabilities for digital photo descriptions, while also failing to manage media exchanged through instant messaging or social media platforms.

Innovation Solution

The Object Data Exchange (ODE) system allows users to add, scan, bind, sort, search, display, and print information of media using a unique Code Key Identifier (CKI), enabling text, audio, and video descriptions, and supports sharing across platforms with access control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users manually manage and store media files (photos, videos, audios) with descriptive information, then the information can be preserved, but the process becomes time-consuming and complex to locate and manage in daily massive chatting habits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedescriptive information of mediaVSAvoidtime to locate and manage media
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically captures descriptive information from media files (such as EXIF data, metadata, or AI-generated descriptions) and organizes it without requiring manual user input. This self-service approach preserves information while eliminating the time-consuming manual management process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary system (the media management platform) that sits between users and their media files, automatically extracting, storing, and organizing descriptive information. This intermediary handles the complexity of information management, allowing users to quickly locate and manage media through simplified interfaces

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If current solutions save media into user profiles and space, then storage is provided, but they do not provide intuitive ability to save, sort, search and share wide range of objects based on their description

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintuitive saving, sorting, searching and sharingVSAvoidcapability to manage wide range of media types
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system is designed to handle multiple types of media files (photos, videos, audios, and other objects) through a unified interface and set of operations. Users can save, sort, search, and share all media types using the same intuitive mechanisms, eliminating the need for separate handling for each media type while maintaining ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements flexible sorting and searching parameters that can be dynamically adjusted based on the specific media type and user needs. The system automatically adapts available search criteria (such as date, location, people, objects detected) to the media being managed, providing intuitive operation across diverse media types

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If digital photos and images are stored without systematic management, then storage space is used, but the stories behind these photos can be forgotten and disappear forever

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestories and descriptions behind photosVSAvoidsystematic management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically extracts and preserves descriptive information (stories, captions, metadata) from media files without requiring complex manual organization. AI techniques automatically generate or retrieve descriptions, and the system autonomously organizes this information, preventing loss of stories while avoiding complex user-facing management structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates and maintains digital copies of descriptive information (stories, descriptions, metadata) separately from the original media files. This copying ensures that even if original context is lost, the descriptive information is preserved in a structured, searchable format that prevents stories from disappearing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

4Ease of operation

If media exchanged through instant messaging or social media platforms is stored, then the media is saved, but it becomes hard to locate and manage in daily massive chatting habits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocating and managing exchanged mediaVSAvoidvolume of exchanged media
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts media files and their descriptive information from instant messaging and social media platforms into a dedicated, organized storage space. This extraction separates the media from the chaotic chat environment, making it easier to locate and manage large volumes of exchanged media through specialized search and filtering capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A computer system is provided that includes an Object Data Exchange (ODE) processor and a memory to store a set of instructions wherein the processor accesses the instructions to allow users to select files manually or automatically, such as texts, images, videos, audios or any other electronic files, from instant messaging/smart phone/chat Apps and add them as objects to the processor. The instructions allow the instant messaging or social media platform, connected to a Matrix server to interact with the ODE App by collecting media from multiple instant messaging or social media platforms and wherein the user can add an object to the ODE App while in an instant messaging, smart phone, or social media platform.
