MANAGEMENT OF CONTENT TRANSFER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455419 titled 'MANAGEMENT OF CONTENT TRANSFER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for transferring content using contextual positioning. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves receiving a content selection from an originating device.
  • Contextual positioning in the user interface of the originating device is determined for each portion of the content selection.
  • The contextual positioning is based on the content selection and objects in the user interface.
  • Each portion of the content selection, along with its determined contextual positioning, is sent to a receiving device.
  • The receiving device places each portion of the content selection in its user interface based on the determined contextual positioning.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Content sharing between devices: This method can be used to transfer content, such as text, images, or multimedia, between different devices seamlessly.
  • Collaborative work: It can facilitate collaborative work by allowing users to transfer and position content in a shared user interface, enabling real-time collaboration.
  • User interface customization: The method can be used to transfer and position user interface elements, allowing users to customize their interface layout across different devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Seamless content transfer: The method eliminates the need for manual adjustment of content positioning when transferring between devices, ensuring a consistent user experience.
  • Contextual positioning: By considering the context of the content and the user interface, the method ensures that the transferred content is placed appropriately in the receiving device's interface.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience: Users can transfer content without worrying about repositioning, saving time and effort.
  • Consistency across devices: The method ensures that the content is placed in a similar manner across different devices, maintaining a consistent user interface.
  • Enhanced collaboration: Real-time content transfer and positioning enable smoother collaboration among users working on different devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for transferring content utilizing contextual positioning includes receiving a content selection for transferring from an originating device. The method also includes determining contextual positioning in a user interface of the originating device for each portion of the content selection, wherein the contextual positioning is based on the content selection and one or more objects in the user interface of the originating device. The method also includes sending, to a receiving device, each portion of the content selection with the determined contextual positioning in the user interface of the originating device. The method also includes placing, in the user interface of the receiving device, each portion of the content selection is based on the determined contextual positioning in the user interface of the originating device.
