Solution Overview

Problem

Current information sharing technologies between devices require users to manually find and select sharing portals, leading to complex operations and low efficiency in multi-device interaction scenarios.

Innovation Solution

An information sharing method that allows users to select an interface element on a terminal device's display interface to share information with a specified device, using preset logical relationships to determine the intended shareable object, eliminating the need to memorize or find sharing portals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually find and select sharing portals to share information between devices, then information can be shared between devices, but the operation process becomes complex and efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharing efficiencyVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically identifies the target object to be shared based on the interface element and preset logical relationships, without requiring users to manually search for or select sharing portals. The terminal system performs self-service by determining the shareable target object and initiating the sharing process automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (preset logical relationships between interface elements and target objects) that mediates between the user's simple gesture and the complex sharing process. This intermediary automatically maps the interface element to the intended target object, simplifying user interaction while maintaining accurate information sharing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If users need to memorize and find the information sharing portal accurately, then sharing can be initiated, but the user experience deteriorates due to complex operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesharing accuracyVSAvoiduser operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal system automatically determines the target object to be shared based on the interface element and preset logical relationships, eliminating the need for users to memorize or search for sharing portals. The system performs self-service by identifying and initiating the sharing process for the correct object.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes preset logical relationships between interface elements and target objects in advance. These pre-configured relationships enable the system to automatically and accurately identify the intended target object when a user interacts with an interface element, without requiring users to perform complex search or selection operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
