Wireless Access Point Direct Channel for Mobile Phone Data Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for transferring content from an old mobile phone to a new mobile phone are inefficient, requiring significant user operations and not ensuring transfer efficiency, especially when dealing with mobile phones without SD cards, requiring internet connectivity, or involving computer access.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and electronic device that uses a wireless communication module to establish a direct communication channel between old and new mobile phones, allowing the new phone to connect directly via an Access Point (AP) to obtain and install applications and data from the old phone, reducing manual operations and improving transfer efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If existing content transfer schemes (SD card, cloud server, computer connection) are used, then content can be transferred between mobile phones, but user operations are required and transfer efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic content transfer by having the first electronic device automatically push application lists and installation data to the second electronic device through direct wireless communication. The second device automatically receives and installs applications without requiring user intervention for each step, making the system serve itself rather than requiring continuous user operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a direct wireless communication channel between the first and second electronic devices as an intermediary medium. This channel enables automatic data transmission without requiring user interaction with intermediate devices like computers or cloud servers, thereby improving both transfer efficiency and reducing user operations.
2Productivity
If direct wireless communication channel is established between old and new mobile phones, then transfer efficiency is improved and user operations are reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless communication module in the electronic device is designed to perform multiple functions: it can operate as a standard wireless communication interface for normal device operation, and simultaneously serve as an Access Point to establish direct communication channels for content transfer. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated hardware, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
3Speed
If wireless AP mode is used for direct communication, then transfer speed is improved, but compatibility with mobile phones without SD cards is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the wireless communication channel as an intermediary that transfers not only application binaries but also complete installation packages including all necessary data and configuration information. This comprehensive transfer approach ensures compatibility with various device types including those without SD cards, as all installation requirements are delivered through the wireless channel.
