Spot Information Synchronization via Service End Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The limited size of mobile devices restricts the amount of spot information that can be displayed and edited, making it difficult for users to manage and update location-based data effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for synchronizing spot information between a mobile device and a terminal device through a service end device, allowing users to log in, edit, and update spot information on either device, with the service end device managing the synchronization and updating of data across both platforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the mobile device size is reduced to achieve portability, then the device becomes more portable and compact, but the screen and keyboard size are limited which restricts the amount of spot information that can be displayed and edited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the spot information display from the mobile device's limited screen to a web page displayed on a terminal device (such as a computer or larger screen device). This dimensional shift allows users to view and edit extensive spot information on a larger display while keeping the mobile device compact and portable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the mobile device and the terminal device. The server stores spot information and facilitates synchronization, allowing the mobile device to remain small while still providing access to and editing capabilities for extensive spot information through the web page interface on the terminal device.
2Volume of moving object
If the mobile device size is reduced to achieve portability, then the device becomes more portable and compact, but the number and size of keys are reduced making editing spot information difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves the editing interface from the mobile device's limited keyboard to a web page displayed on a terminal device with a full-sized keyboard and larger screen. This allows users to easily edit spot information using the terminal device's superior input capabilities while the mobile device remains portable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the spot information management system accessible through multiple devices - both the mobile device and the terminal device can access and edit the same spot information through the server. This multi-functionality allows users to edit information conveniently on the terminal device and have it synchronized back to the mobile device.
3Speed
If spot information is stored locally on the mobile device, then access is fast and immediate, but the amount of information is limited by the device's storage capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary storage system that holds spot information externally. The server provides fast access to spot information through web protocols, and the information can be synchronized between the server and the mobile device, effectively expanding storage capacity beyond the mobile device's physical limitations.

AI summary
A method, a system, and a computer-readable medium for synchronizing spot information, adapted to synchronize a plurality of spot information displayed on a mobile device and a terminal device, are provided. In the present method, when the mobile device logs in to a service end device, the spot information in a spot database of the mobile device is synchronized to the service end device. When the terminal device logs in to the service end device, the spot information synchronized from the mobile device to the service end device is downloaded to the terminal device and displayed in a spot information browsing webpage. When the mobile device receives spot information edited by a user, the mobile device synchronizes the edited spot information to the service end device, and the service end device updates the spot information displayed in the spot information browsing webpage of the terminal device.
