Remote Cross-Device Content Transfer via Drag-and-Drop Toolbar
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cross-device content transfer methods are cumbersome, requiring users to upload and download files through cloud applications, which increases operational complexity and reduces user experience.
Innovation Solution
A cross-device content transfer method and apparatus that allows a first device to remotely access a second device by dragging an icon to a toolbar, enabling direct transfer of elements between devices without the need for simultaneous use of both devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If cloud application upload and download method is used, then cross-device content transfer can be achieved, but operational complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a remote connection mechanism as an intermediary between two devices, allowing direct content transfer through drag-and-drop operations. The first device establishes a remote connection to the second device, enabling the user to drag content directly from the remote device interface to the local device, bypassing the need for cloud upload and download operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a virtual copying mechanism where the second device's interface is replicated on the first device through remote connection. This allows the user to interact with and transfer content from the second device as if it were locally present, simplifying the transfer operation to a single drag-and-drop action rather than multi-step cloud operations.
2Productivity
If cloud application method is used, then file transfer between devices is possible, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables continuous direct data transmission between devices through the remote connection channel. Once the connection is established, content transfer occurs continuously and directly from the source device to the destination device without interruption for cloud upload and download cycles, significantly reducing transfer time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by establishing the remote connection and rendering the second device's interface on the first device before the actual content transfer. This preparation allows the user to immediately drag and drop content without waiting for cloud synchronization, accelerating the overall transfer process.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a cross-device content transfer method and apparatus, and relate to the field of terminal technologies, in which in a case where a first device remotely accesses a second device, in response to an operation of dragging a first icon to a first toolbar, the first device displays a third interface and receives a first element indicated by the first icon and transmitted by the second device, a first folder of the first device includes the first element after the first element is transferred, and the third interface includes content displayed by the second device, so that the first device can conveniently transfer the first element from the second device to the first device based on a user's operation of dragging the first icon to the first toolbar, simplifying the cross-device content transfer method.
