Wireless Content Transfer Between Computer and Mobile Terminal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when trying to transfer content or execute functions between a computer and a mobile terminal, requiring complex procedures and direct input on the mobile terminal's keypad, which can lead to errors due to the small keypad size and need to manage both devices for tasks like image transfer or printing.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allows users to operate mobile terminal functions from a connected electronic device, such as a computer, using a user interface on the electronic device to select content and transmit it to the mobile terminal wirelessly, eliminating the need for direct manipulation of the mobile terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users directly input content on the mobile terminal's keypad, then the mobile terminal can send messages, but input errors increase due to the small keypad size
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the computer as an intermediary device with a larger display and keyboard to input messages. The computer captures the user's input, processes it, and transmits it to the mobile terminal for sending, thereby avoiding direct input on the mobile terminal's small keypad and reducing input errors
2Productivity
If users transfer images from computer to mobile terminal, then MMS can be sent, but the process becomes complex requiring connection and synchronization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-stores images in the computer's memory before the user needs to send them. When the user wants to send an image via MMS, the computer retrieves the pre-stored image and transmits it to the mobile terminal, eliminating the need for complex real-time transfer procedures and device synchronization
3Ease of manufacture
If users manage both computer and mobile terminal for tasks like image transfer, then content can be transferred, but operation time increases due to managing two devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the functionality of both the computer and mobile terminal into a unified workflow. The computer serves as the primary interface for selecting and preparing content, while automatically handling the transmission to the mobile terminal, thereby reducing the time required to manage both devices separately
Data Source
AI summary
An operation method and a mobile terminal connected to an electronic device are provided. A wireless communication interface of the electronic device communicates with a mobile device. Content is displayed on an application on a display of the electronic device. A user input is obtained for selecting a piece of content from the displayed content on the application. Based on selecting the piece of content, a user interface on which the selected piece of content is displayed, is displayed on the application as content of a message. A recipient phone number is obtained through the user interference displayed on the application. Based on obtaining the recipient phone number, information for requesting that the mobile device transmits the selected piece of content to the recipient phone number, is transmitted toward the mobile device.
