Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile electronic devices with small screens struggle to conveniently display visual content like electronic books and videos, causing eye strain, while larger devices for viewing such content are impractical for everyday carry due to their size.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for a mobile electronic device with a processor, input, output, and short-range communication subsystems that allows for the selection and transfer of electronic content via a short-range wireless connection between devices, enabling the display of content on a device with a larger screen while maintaining portability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a mobile electronic device has a small screen, then it is portable and easy to carry, but it causes eye strain when displaying visual content like electronic books and videos

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoideye strain
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a content transfer system that acts as an intermediary between the mobile device and the content source. Instead of displaying content directly on the small screen, the system enables wireless transfer of content to a separate display device (such as a television or monitor), thereby resolving the contradiction between portability and viewing comfort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention shifts the content consumption dimension from the mobile device's small display to an external display device with a larger screen. This dimensional transition allows users to enjoy visual content on a large screen while maintaining the portability and convenience of the mobile device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a mobile electronic device has a large screen for viewing content, then eye strain is reduced, but the device becomes impractical for everyday carry

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeye strainVSAvoidportability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a content transfer mechanism as an intermediary that separates the content display function from the mobile device. This allows users to access content on a large screen without requiring the mobile device itself to have a large screen, thus maintaining portability while reducing eye strain.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile device serves multiple functions: it acts as both a portable computing device and a content acquisition device. The content can then be displayed on various external devices (televisions, monitors, tablets), making the system universally applicable across different display platforms without compromising the mobile device's portability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If electronic content is displayed on a mobile electronic device, then content accessibility is improved, but the small screen limits the viewing experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent accessibilityVSAvoiddisplay area
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a wireless content transfer system as an intermediary that bridges the mobile device and external display devices. This enables content to be accessed and displayed on large-area screens while maintaining the accessibility and convenience of mobile devices, effectively resolving the contradiction between content accessibility and display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions content consumption from the mobile device's limited display area to external display devices with larger screens. This dimensional shift preserves content accessibility while significantly increasing the display area, thereby improving the overall viewing experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
