Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current file sharing methods between different terminals, such as Bluetooth and WiFi P2P, are cumbersome and inefficient, requiring multiple steps and resulting in poor user experience due to long transmission times and tedious operations.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that simplifies file sharing by displaying a list of associated terminals, allowing users to select and enable WiFi point-to-point functions with reduced operation steps, establishing a direct WiFi communication link for seamless file transfer between terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If WiFi P2P manner is used for file transmission, then transmission speed is improved and computer intermediary is eliminated, but operation steps increase and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-enables WiFi P2P functions on terminals before file transmission is needed. When a user initiates file sharing, the terminals are already configured and ready to establish connections, eliminating the need for users to manually enable functions or search for devices during the transmission process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically manages the file transmission process between terminals without requiring user intervention for connection establishment. The terminals self-configure and self-connect using pre-established WiFi P2P settings, making the system serve itself rather than requiring detailed user operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If Bluetooth manner is used for file transmission, then device compatibility is improved, but transmission speed decreases and transmission time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the transmission parameter from Bluetooth to WiFi P2P, transitioning from a low-speed wireless protocol to a high-speed wireless protocol. This parameter change maintains wireless compatibility while dramatically improving transmission speed and reducing transmission time for large files.
3Speed
If USB wired manner is used for file transmission, then transmission speed is improved, but device complexity increases and intermediary requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system eliminates the computer intermediary by using direct WiFi P2P communication between terminals. Instead of requiring a computer as a middleman for file transfer, the terminals establish direct wireless connections, simplifying the device architecture and removing unnecessary intermediary components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces the mechanical USB wired connection with a wireless WiFi P2P communication system. This substitution eliminates physical cables and connectors, reducing mechanical complexity while maintaining high transmission speeds through wireless data transmission.

AI summary
A method for sharing a file between different terminals includes displaying, by a first terminal when detecting a file sharing operation, a list of second terminals associated with the first terminal; sending, by the first terminal, a first control command to a second terminal when detecting an operation of selecting an identifier of the second terminal in the list of second terminals, so that the second terminal enables a WiFi point-to-point function according to the first control command, and sends a second control command to the first terminal; receiving, by the first terminal, the second control command, and enabling a WiFi point-to-point function according to the second control command; and establishing, by the first terminal, a WiFi communication link to the second terminal, and sharing a file between the first terminal and the second terminal by using the WiFi communication link.
