Wearable Data Transfer and Reset Method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is no method to transfer data from a wearable device used with an old electronic device to a new electronic device, and users are not aware that resetting the wearable device is necessary for connection with the new device, resulting in data loss.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for resetting the wearable device after moving data to the new electronic device, and restoring data using backup data stored on the new electronic device, involving a communication module, memory, and processor to manage data transfer and device reset.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the wearable device is reset to connect with the second electronic device, then the connection is established, but all data stored in the wearable device is deleted
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary data backup before the reset operation. The first electronic device backs up data from the wearable device to its own storage, and then the wearable device is reset. After reset, the backed-up data is restored to the wearable device, ensuring no data loss occurs during the connection transition.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a copy of the data stored in the wearable device by backing it up to the first electronic device. This copy serves as a safety mechanism that allows the original data to be preserved even after the wearable device is reset, enabling data to be restored afterward.
2Ease of operation
If data is transferred from the wearable device to the second electronic device, then data mobility is improved, but the process complexity increases due to multiple steps required
Solution Approach 1:
The first electronic device serves as an intermediary in the data transfer process. It receives data from the wearable device, stores it temporarily, and then facilitates its transfer to the second electronic device. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall process by providing a centralized coordination point for data movement and backup operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges multiple operations into a unified process: data backup, device reset, and data restoration are combined into a single automated workflow. The processor coordinates these operations sequentially, presenting them to the user as one integrated solution rather than separate manual steps.
3Reliability
If the wearable device maintains connection with the first electronic device, then data is preserved, but it cannot be connected to the second electronic device
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a duplicate copy of the wearable device's data in the first electronic device's storage. This copy ensures data safety is maintained even after the wearable device disconnects from the first electronic device and connects to the second one. The original data remains preserved in the backup location.
Solution Approach 2:
The backup operation is performed preliminarily, before the wearable device switches connections. By securing a copy of the data in advance, the system ensures that data safety is established prior to any connection changes, allowing the device to freely transition between electronic devices without risk of data loss.

AI summary
A method and a device configured to transmit information related to a device to a first electronic device through a communication module in accordance with a request of the first electronic device; establish a communication connection with a second electronic device based on the information; receive a backup request for data stored in the device from the first electronic device; generate backup data based on the backup request; transmit the generated backup data to the second electronic device; and reset the device based on a device reset request in a case of receiving the device reset request from the second electronic device.
