WIRELESS SOLID STATE PORTABLE MEMORY AND DATA TRANSFER PROCESS

The patent titled "Wireless Solid State Portable Memory and Data Transfer Process" (IT202100027413A1) describes an innovative device and method for data storage and transfer. This invention addresses the limitations of current portable memory devices, such as USB sticks, which may not be compatible with newer PCs and smartphones lacking USB ports. Additionally, it aims to overcome the challenges associated with Wi-Fi hotspot-based memories in professional environments, which can disrupt the connection to main company networks, and the limited portability and complex setup of Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems. The core of the invention is a portable wireless solid state memory device that simplifies data storage and transfer, making it universally accessible and easy to use across different devices (e.g., smartphones, laptops, PCs, tablets) without the need for complex configurations. This device is designed to be user-friendly, requiring only simple actions from the user, such as changing its spatial orientation, to initiate data transfer processes. Key features of the device include: NFC (Near Field Communication) for secure wireless connectivity. Bluetooth unit to communicate the device's Wi-Fi credentials to user devices, considering Bluetooth's widespread availability across gadgets. Wi-Fi unit for high-bitrate data transfers. An accelerometer to determine the device's spatial orientation and decide whether the user intends to store data in it or retrieve data from it. The patent presents four use cases demonstrating the data transfer process between the portable memory and other devices, facilitated by changes in the device's orientation and automatic actions triggered by NFC tag acquisition. These scenarios highlight the device's versatility in transferring data to and from both personal and remote devices via Wi-Fi, leveraging NFC and Bluetooth for seamless operation. The patent claims emphasize the device's universal usability, independence from standard compatibility issues, and an intuitive user experience facilitated by gesture-based interactions. This makes the technology accessible even to non-expert users, bridging the digital divide and offering a novel solution in the consumer electronics market for data storage and exchange.
