Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices lack the capability to efficiently utilize their processing, storage, and communication functions for additional purposes beyond their primary intentions, such as enabling remote control of interactions between displayable items on different apparatuses.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow for the transfer of data defining features of a displayable item from a user apparatus to a remote display apparatus, enabling real-time user control of interactions between the items, including size, position, and orientation, through user input commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If devices are designed for their primary intended purposes, then their core functions are reliable and well-optimized, but their processing, storage, and communication functions cannot be efficiently utilized for additional purposes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables electronic apparatus to perform multiple functions by allowing a first apparatus to transfer displayable items to a second apparatus. The processing, storage, and communication functions of the first apparatus are utilized not only for its primary purpose but also for creating and transferring digital items, thereby achieving multi-functionality without requiring separate dedicated devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a communication interface and data transfer mechanism as an intermediary between two separate apparatus. This intermediary enables the first apparatus to share its processing and storage capabilities with the second apparatus, allowing additional functions to be performed without directly modifying the core architecture of either device, thus maintaining simplicity while achieving versatility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If devices perform additional purposes beyond their primary intention, then their functionality and versatility are improved, but system latency and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transfers displayable items as data representations from the first apparatus to the second apparatus. By copying the essential data defining the displayable items rather than transferring complex operational states or processing logic, the system achieves additional functionality with minimal latency. The second apparatus can then render and interact with these copied items using its own processing capabilities.
3Ease of operation
If users have direct control over all displayable items on their device, then user expressiveness is maximized, but the complexity of controlling interactions between multiple items increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control of displayable items by separating the creation/transfer function (performed by the first apparatus) from the rendering/interaction function (performed by the second apparatus). This segmentation allows users to control items remotely through simplified input commands without needing to manage the complexity of item interactions on the local device, thereby maintaining ease of operation while enabling sophisticated multi-item interactions.

AI summary
A method comprising: causing transfer of a displayable first item to a display of a remote apparatus by causing transfer of data to the remote apparatus, the data defining features of the displayable first item; and enabling remote user-control of interaction, in the display of the remote apparatus, between a second item displayed in the display of the remote apparatus and the transferred displayable first item.
