Abstract

A method and a system for information transfer and sharing among mobile apparatuses are disclosed. The method includes the steps of identifying and displaying data in each mobile apparatus as well as simultaneously indicating each name of each mobile apparatus on an endpoint PC when at least two mobile apparatuses are connected to the endpoint PC; transferring or synchronizing the data in a designated mobile apparatus to or with a destination mobile apparatus when an instruction for data transfer or data synchronization is received. The present invention can fulfill information transfer and sharing among multiple mobile apparatuses.

Claims

1. A method of information transferring between at least a first mobile apparatus and a second mobile apparatus using an endpoint PC, the method comprising:

detecting an electronic connection of the first mobile apparatus or the second mobile apparatus to the endpoint PC;

identifying first data in the first mobile apparatus and second data in the second mobile apparatus;

obtaining, using the endpoint PC, the first data from the first mobile apparatus, the second data from the second mobile apparatus, a name of the first mobile apparatus, and a name of the second mobile apparatus;

saving the first data, the second data, a name of the first mobile apparatus, and a name of the second mobile apparatus in the endpoint PC;

indicating, using the endpoint PC, the name of the first mobile apparatus with a model number and the name of the second mobile apparatus with a model number;

displaying at least one of the first data and the second data, displaying the name of the first mobile apparatus, and the name of the second mobile apparatus on a display module of the endpoint PC;

comparing, using the endpoint PC, a format of the first data with a format of the second data, wherein in response to the format of the first data is not same as the format of the second data, converting, using the endpoint PC, the format of the first data into a saved format of the second mobile apparatus;

transferring or synchronizing, over the electronic connection, the first data and the second data between the first mobile apparatus and the second mobile apparatus; and

comparing, using the endpoint PC, the first data with the second data, and reminding a user to transfer or synchronize the first data and the second data between the first mobile apparatus and the second mobile apparatus if the first data is not same as the second data.

2. The method of information transferring according to claim 1, wherein the electronic connection of the first mobile apparatus or the second apparatus to the endpoint PC is over a wired connection or over a wireless connection.

3. The method of information transferring according to claim 1, wherein the data comprises multimedia, contacts, and SD card documents.

4. A method of information transferring between at least a first mobile apparatus and a second mobile apparatus using an endpoint PC, the method comprising:

detecting an electronic connection of the first mobile apparatus or the second mobile apparatus to the endpoint PC;

identifying first data in the first mobile apparatus and second data in the second mobile apparatus;

obtaining, using the endpoint PC, the first data from the first mobile apparatus, the second data from the second mobile apparatus, a name of the first mobile apparatus, and a name of the second mobile apparatus;

saving the first data, the second data, a name of the first mobile apparatus, and a name of the second mobile apparatus in the endpoint PC;

indicating, using the endpoint PC, the name of the first mobile apparatus with a model number and the name of the second mobile apparatus with a model number;

displaying at least one of the first data and the second data, displaying the name of the first mobile apparatus, and the name of the second mobile apparatus on a display module of the endpoint PC;

comparing, using the endpoint PC, a format of the first data with a format of the second data, wherein in response to the format of the first data is not same as the format of the second data, converting, using the endpoint PC, the format of the first data into a saved format of the second mobile apparatus;

transferring or synchronizing, over the electronic connection, the first data and the second data between the first mobile apparatus and the second mobile apparatus;

comparing, using the endpoint PC, the first data with the second data, and reminding a user to transfer or synchronize the first data and the second data between the first mobile apparatus and the second mobile apparatus if the first data is not same as the second data; and

filtering out duplicate data from the first data having the saved format of the second mobile apparatus and importing the filtered data having the saved format of the second mobile apparatus into the second mobile apparatus.

5. The method of information transferring according to claim 4, wherein the electronic connection of the first mobile apparatus or the second apparatus to the endpoint PC is over a wired connection or over a wireless connection.

6. The method of information transferring according to claim 4, wherein the data comprises multimedia, contacts, and SD card files.
