RCS File Transfer Message Body with Function Metadata
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing file transfer methods in electronic devices through rich communication suites (RCS) lack the ability to provide additional functions related to file transfer and control, such as bundle transfer, compression, deadline setting, copy restriction, and deletion restriction, which are not effectively integrated into the message body for transmission.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with communication circuitry and a processor transmits files to a server, receives a message body related to the file, adds information about file functions, and transmits this enhanced message to another device, incorporating features like bundle transfer, compression, deadline setting, copy restriction, and deletion restriction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If file transfer is performed through RCS without additional function integration, then the basic file transfer capability is maintained, but the file transfer functions lack advanced capabilities such as bundle transfer, compression, deadline setting, copy restriction, and deletion restriction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds file function information within the message body structure, nesting additional functional data inside the existing message framework. This allows advanced file transfer capabilities to be integrated without creating a separate complex system, as the functions are contained within the message structure itself
Solution Approach 2:
The message body is designed to carry both basic file transfer information and additional file function information universally. This multi-functional message structure can accommodate various file transfer operations (bundle transfer, compression, deadline setting, copy restriction, deletion restriction) through a single unified mechanism
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional file function information is added to the message body, then advanced file transfer capabilities are enabled, but the message structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The message body is segmented into distinct functional components, with specific areas allocated for different file functions (bundle transfer, compression, deadline setting, copy restriction, deletion restriction). This segmentation allows each function to be processed independently while maintaining overall message integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The message body acts as an intermediary structure that carries both basic file transfer data and additional function information. This intermediary mechanism facilitates the transmission of complex file management capabilities without requiring direct complex interactions between the transmitting and receiving devices

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes communication circuitry and a processor operatively connected to the communication circuitry. The processor may transmit, to a first server, at least one file to be transmitted to another electronic device through the communication circuitry, may receive, from the first server, a message body related to the at least one file, may generate a message by adding, to the message body, information related to at least one file function, and may transmit the message to the other electronic device through the communication circuitry.
