Solution Overview

Problem

Existing short-distance wireless communication technologies require numerous manual operations for data transmission, leading to inefficiencies and increased complexity.

Innovation Solution

A data transmission method and apparatus that utilize a touch screen to detect touch attributes such as duration, track, and final location to automatically establish and utilize a short-distance wireless communication channel like NFC, WiFi, or Bluetooth for file transfer, eliminating the need for manual selection of transmission paths and recipients.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual operations are used to establish Bluetooth connection and select transmission path, then communication can be established, but data transmission efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidmanual operations required
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects nearby terminals, establishes communication channels, and selects transmission paths without requiring user intervention. The terminal autonomously performs connection establishment and data routing based on pre-configured rules and real-time channel status, eliminating manual pairing and selection operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Communication channels are pre-established between nearby terminals before data transmission is needed. The system proactively sets up multiple potential transmission paths in advance, so when data needs to be sent, the terminal can immediately use the pre-configured channels without delay for connection establishment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If multiple manual steps are required for file transmission selection, then transmission can be completed, but transmission time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission timeVSAvoidtransmission process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex multi-step transmission selection process is extracted and replaced by automatic rule-based decision making. The terminal extracts essential transmission parameters and uses pre-set rules to automatically determine the optimal path, removing the need for users to navigate through multiple selection menus and configuration steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Extent of automation

If automatic touch detection is used to identify transmission intent, then manual operations are reduced, but touch attribute analysis complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic transmission initiationVSAvoidtouch attribute analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system monitors changes in touch parameters (duration, position, pattern) to distinguish between accidental touches and intentional transmission commands. By analyzing temporal and spatial parameters of touch events, the system can reliably identify user intent to transmit data without requiring complex processing, using simple threshold-based detection of touch duration and movement patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The embodiments of the present invention disclose a data transmission method and apparatus, and a terminal with a touch screen. The method includes: when a touch on a file displayed on a touch screen is detected, determining whether an attribute of the touch meets a preset condition, where the attribute of the touch includes at least one of the following: a duration of touching the file, a track of dragging the file, and a final object location to which the file is dragged; and when the attribute of the touch meets the preset condition, transmitting the file to an object terminal through an established short-distance wireless communication data channel. Data transmission efficiency can be improved with the embodiments of the present invention.
