Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information sharing methods require users to manually select different sharing ways for various applications, affecting efficiency and requiring memorization of multiple entry points, which hinders seamless resource sharing across platforms.

Innovation Solution

A unified information sharing method and apparatus that supports multiple resource types and sharing modes, enabling direct dragging of resources into a shared field, automatic type and attribute extraction, and targeted sharing with split-screen display, using modules for resource type determination, user acquisition, and interface invocation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple information sharing ways are provided for different applications, then the adaptability of sharing options is improved, but the device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to requiring users to memorize multiple sharing entries

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesharing options adaptabilityVSAvoidsharing operation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal sharing entry that can handle multiple resource types (pictures, videos, text, applications) through a single interface. This unified sharing field apparatus consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate sharing functions, allowing users to access all sharing options through one standardized entry point while maintaining support for diverse resource types and sharing platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple information sharing ways are provided for different applications, then the adaptability of sharing options is improved, but the device complexity increases due to multiple sharing entries

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesharing options adaptabilityVSAvoidsharing interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple separate sharing functions and entries into a single unified sharing field apparatus. This consolidation integrates various resource types and sharing modes into one interface, reducing the number of separate sharing entries from multiple to one, while maintaining the full functionality needed for different resource types and sharing platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Measurement precision

If manual selection of sharing ways is required, then the precision of sharing target selection is improved, but the productivity deteriorates due to time-consuming selection process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesharing target accuracyVSAvoidresource sharing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements automatic recognition and pre-selection of appropriate sharing modes based on the resource type being shared. When a user selects a resource, the system automatically identifies the resource type (picture, video, text, application) and pre-configures the appropriate sharing interface and available platforms, eliminating the need for users to manually search through multiple sharing options and significantly reducing the time required to complete the sharing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
