Wireless Device Document Processing via Server Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless communication apparatuses, with limited hardware resources and processing capabilities, struggle to view and process various document types such as EXCEL and MPP documents, as they cannot install all necessary applications, leading to incomplete document processing capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where the wireless communication apparatus sends unidentifiable documents to a network server for conversion into a viewable format, using a wireless communication module, and then opens the converted documents using a document processing module, leveraging the server's processing power to save storage and enhance document handling capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all necessary applications are installed on the wireless communication apparatus to process various document types, then document processing capability is improved, but storage space and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
A network server is introduced as an intermediary between the wireless communication apparatus and various document types. The server performs format conversion, receiving documents in multiple formats and converting them to formats compatible with the apparatus's existing applications, thereby eliminating the need to install multiple document processing applications on the device itself
Solution Approach 2:
The document format conversion capability is extracted from the wireless communication apparatus and relocated to the network server. This allows the apparatus to maintain its limited storage while still achieving universal document processing capability through the external conversion service
2Adaptability or versatility
If all necessary applications are installed on the wireless communication apparatus to process various document types, then document processing capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network server acts as an intermediary that handles the complexity of supporting multiple document formats, allowing the wireless communication apparatus to maintain a simple application structure while achieving complex document processing capabilities through the server's conversion services
3Speed
If document format conversion is performed locally on the wireless communication apparatus, then processing speed is improved, but storage space and processing capability requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The network server serves as an intermediary that performs the computationally intensive document conversion operations, allowing the wireless communication apparatus to maintain simple processing capabilities while still achieving fast document conversion through the server's powerful processing resources

AI summary
A document processing method and system in a wireless communications device. The method comprises steps of: when receiving document having an unidentifiable document type, a wireless communications device sending the document to a network server through a wireless communications module; after receiving the document sent by the wireless communications device and converting the document type, the network server sending converted document to the wireless communications device through a wireless network; and after the wireless communications device receives the document converted by the network server, a document processing module invoking a corresponding application to open the document. In the present invention, a processing capability of the network server is used to convert document unidentifiable by the wireless communications device, the wireless communications device does not need to install too many document processing application programs, thereby saving a storage space. In addition, the wireless communications device only needs to have normal hardware configuration to see document of any type, thereby enhancing a document processing capability of the wireless communications device, and bringing convenience to use of a user.
