Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional data sharing systems require users to undergo multiple cumbersome steps to select and transfer data across different electronic devices, making the process time-consuming and inefficient, especially when transferring large amounts of data.

Innovation Solution

A mechanism that generates a unique code encoded with data items and device parameters, allowing automatic data sharing between sender and receiver devices by scanning and decoding this code, eliminating the need for manual selection and reducing the number of steps required.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually select and transfer data across multiple applications, then data sharing functionality is achieved, but the process becomes time-consuming and cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata transfer efficiencyVSAvoidtime required for data selection and transfer

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically selecting data items for sharing before the user initiates the transfer process. The sender device identifies and prepares data items across multiple applications in advance, eliminating the need for manual selection during the transfer process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal data sharing mechanism that works across multiple different applications simultaneously. A single sharing operation can select data items from various applications (gallery, messages, contacts, etc.) through one unified interface rather than requiring separate operations for each application.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If users transfer backup data when migrating devices, then data is successfully transferred, but the process becomes tedious and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata transfer completionVSAvoidoperational simplicity during device migration

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically identifying and selecting data items that need to be transferred during device migration. The sender device autonomously performs data selection and preparation without requiring the user to manually navigate through applications and select each item individually.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data selection and preparation actions before the user initiates the migration process. Data items are identified, selected, and prepared for transfer in advance, making the actual migration process simpler and faster.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If users separately select content from each application, then accurate data selection is achieved, but the number of steps increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata selection accuracyVSAvoidnumber of steps in data sharing process

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple separate data selection operations into a single unified process. Instead of requiring the user to select data from each application separately, the system combines all data items from multiple applications into one selection interface, reducing the number of steps while maintaining selection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
