Terminal Device Data Sharing via Local Network Protocol
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing terminal device interaction methods are complex and inefficient, requiring sequential login to cloud storage and manual searching and uploading of data between devices.
Innovation Solution
A method where a first terminal device performs a first sharing operation on a common application, transmitting a sharing instruction to a second terminal device, which then displays information about shareable data, allowing the first terminal device to select and obtain specific target data through a second sharing operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If terminal devices use cloud storage software for data sharing, then data interaction can be achieved, but the operations become complex and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the data sharing function from cloud storage software and implements it directly between terminal devices through local network communication. The second terminal device's file manager directly shares files with the first terminal device without involving cloud storage login, upload, and download operations, thereby simplifying the process and improving efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a file sharing protocol as an intermediary mechanism that enables direct peer-to-peer file sharing between terminal devices. This intermediary layer replaces the complex cloud storage interaction sequence with a simplified direct sharing path, maintaining data security while reducing operational steps.
2Loss of time
If terminal devices perform sequential login and data upload/download operations, then data sharing is achieved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing a file sharing connection between terminal devices before data transfer is needed. The file sharing protocol is set up in advance, allowing immediate data transfer when sharing is initiated, eliminating the time required for sequential login and cloud upload/download operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent skips the intermediate cloud storage steps (login, search, upload, download) by implementing direct peer-to-peer file sharing. The file sharing protocol enables terminal devices to exchange data directly through local network communication, rushing through the data transfer process and significantly reducing time consumption.

AI summary
A terminal device interaction method and apparatus are disclosed. In the method, a first terminal device receives a first sharing operation for a first common application APP (S11), the first terminal device transmits a first sharing instruction based on the first sharing operation (S12), and the first terminal device receives and displays information about first data transmitted by a second terminal device (S13); the first terminal device transmits a second sharing instruction (S14); and the first terminal device receives first target data that is transmitted by the second terminal device based on the second sharing instruction (S15).
