Solution Overview

Problem

Current data sharing technologies lack the ability to perform selective and real-time data sharing within network environments, where all participants receive shared data without limitations, leading to inefficient data management and user experience in scenarios like multi-person online video calls.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that utilizes a communication group to identify and share data from specific hardware resources with selected terminal devices in real-time, allowing for limited and intelligent data sharing by determining sharing IDs within the group, enabling real-time data transfer without continuous sharing to all participants.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If data sharing is performed without restrictions in a network environment, then all participants can receive shared data, but data management efficiency and user experience deteriorate due to lack of selectivity and continuous sharing to all participants

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing selectivityVSAvoiddata management efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the communication group into different sharing scopes by introducing the concept of sharing scope identification. Instead of treating all participants uniformly, the system divides them into segments (first communication group, second communication group, or all participants) based on the sharing scope identification parameter. This allows selective data sharing with specific segments while maintaining efficient management through automated scope-based distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If data is shared with all participants in a communication group, then data distribution coverage is maximized, but user control and experience worsen due to inability to limit sharing to specific recipients

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata distribution coverageVSAvoiduser control
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic data sharing control by allowing the sharing scope identification to change based on user input. The system can dynamically switch between different sharing scopes (first communication group, second communication group, or all participants) through user interaction with the interface. This provides both broad distribution coverage when needed and precise user control when required, resolving the contradiction between coverage and control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Speed

If continuous data sharing is performed with all participants, then real-time data availability is improved, but data management complexity and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availability speedVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces sharing scope identification as an intermediary parameter that mediates between data sharing requests and participant groups. This intermediary enables automated routing of shared data to appropriate groups based on the identification parameter, reducing management complexity. The system automatically handles the distribution logic without requiring complex manual configuration, thus maintaining fast data availability while simplifying management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An information processing method, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided in the present disclosure. The method includes performing communication based on a communication group, and obtaining a first sharing operation of a target identification (ID) for data corresponding to a first hardware resource, where the first hardware resource belongs to an electronic device corresponding to the target ID, and the target ID belongs to the communication group; based on the first sharing operation, determining at least one sharing ID from the communication group, where the at least one sharing ID is a part of IDs in the communication group; and in response to the first sharing operation and in a process of performing the communication based on the communication group, sharing the data corresponding to the first hardware resource with a terminal device corresponding to the at least one sharing ID in real time.
