Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for sharing data between mobile devices are inconvenient, requiring complex operating steps and lacking an intuitive approach for users to initiate data sharing.
Innovation Solution
A method where devices detect each other's proximity and exchange spatial condition information to automatically activate data sharing when predefined conditions are met, eliminating the need for users to manually select sharing functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional sharing methods are used, then data sharing function is achieved, but operating steps are complicated and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables devices to automatically detect each other's presence through proximity detection, exchange spatial condition information, and activate data sharing without requiring user intervention. The devices perform the sharing process autonomously based on predefined conditions, eliminating the need for users to manually open sharing applications or select sharing functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes predefined conditions for data sharing activation before actual sharing occurs. Devices continuously monitor proximity and spatial conditions in advance, and when conditions are met, sharing is automatically initiated. This preliminary setup eliminates the need for users to perform complex manual steps during the actual sharing moment.
2Ease of operation
If automatic sharing based on proximity is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a universal proximity detection mechanism that can identify multiple types of devices (smartphones, tablets, computers) within a specific range. The spatial condition information exchange protocol is designed to work across different device types, allowing the system to handle diverse sharing scenarios through a single unified approach rather than requiring device-specific complex logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces spatial condition information as an intermediary element that mediates between proximity detection and data sharing activation. Instead of directly connecting proximity detection to sharing activation (which would increase system complexity), the patent uses spatial condition information exchange as an intermediate step that simplifies the overall system architecture by providing a clear, standardized decision-making framework.

AI summary
A method for data sharing between a first device and a second device is disclosed. The method includes steps of the first device detecting whether the second device is within a specific range; at least first one of the first device and the second device exchanging at least one spatial condition information through a communication channel if the second device is within the specific range; at least second one of the first device and the second device verifying whether the at least one spatial condition information matches a predefined condition; and the at least second one of the first device and the second device activating data sharing between the first device and the second device when the at least one spatial condition information matches the predefined condition.
