Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in finding and downloading mobile enterprise applications on smartphones and tablets, and IT departments spend excessive time manually installing these applications, while users struggle to access and modify files remotely without manual address entry or search.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of QR code technology to automatically install mobile applications and access files by generating encoded links on a personal computer, which can be scanned by mobile devices for installation and file access, eliminating the need for manual searches and IT intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually search for mobile applications or ask IT department to help install applications, then users can access enterprise applications on mobile devices, but the process is time-consuming and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a QR code as an intermediary element that bridges the personal computer and mobile device. The QR code contains encoded information about the mobile application, allowing the mobile device to automatically retrieve and install the application without manual searching or IT intervention. This intermediary mechanism resolves the contradiction by providing quick access while eliminating time-consuming manual processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service application installation where the mobile device automatically detects the QR code, retrieves the application information, and installs the application without requiring user manual configuration or IT department intervention. The mobile device serves itself by using its camera and processing capabilities to complete the installation process autonomously.
2Extent of automation
If IT administrators manually install mobile applications on each device, then applications can be deployed to users, but the process is extremely time-consuming and tedious
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the need for IT administrator manual installation by enabling users to self-install applications through QR codes. The system automatically handles the installation process on user devices without requiring administrative intervention, thereby achieving high automation and reducing deployment time significantly.
Solution Approach 2:
The QR code serves as an automated intermediary that carries application installation information from the personal computer to the mobile device. This intermediary mechanism enables automatic application deployment without requiring IT administrators to manually configure each installation, thereby increasing automation extent and reducing deployment time.
3Ease of operation
If users manually enter file addresses or search for files on mobile devices, then users can access files stored on personal computers, but the process requires manual address entry or search based on database knowledge
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses QR codes as an intermediary to transfer file access information from the personal computer to the mobile device. The QR code encodes the file location and access parameters, allowing the mobile device to automatically retrieve and display the file without requiring manual address entry or database searching, thereby improving ease of operation and reducing access time.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention may include an apparatus and method for automatically installing mobile versions of software applications on a mobile device using quick response (QR) code technology. A software application may initially be loaded on a personal computer in response to a user request. The personal computer may determine if there is a mobile version of the software application available. If there is a mobile version available, the personal computer may generate a QR code that represents an encoded version of a link for the mobile version of the software application. Subsequently, the QR code may be displayed on a display device of the personal computer for the user to scan and access the mobile version of the software application on his/her mobile device.
