That was really a good opportunity EFY has given to me to tell the world about my project that i had completed as my final year project topic. The project itself was completed in December 2010. In fact i had decided to work on this topic from 3rd year of BE. When i was in 3rd year this idea got stuck into my mind as we had to exchange some soft copies of important documents and the PC's we were having at my place (In my Engg. Collage) were USB disabled PC's and we were helpless at that time. While talking with my friend i just said to him, "transferring data should be so easy so that if we connect two USB Flash drives (Pen drives) directly to each other then they must be able to transfer the data." But by only using Flash drives it was not possible because they are not intended for that purpose. To do so we must have certain kind of interface. Hence i decided to give such an interface to make this happen. And finally i came with this device. This is very basic device only can transfer the data with basic simple user interface but yes it can be said as a Proof Of Concept (POC) . I will be doing certain modifications into it as i get time for it. My aim was to get patent for it, but as my financial condition was not good i was not able to do so. But through EFY this device has got significant value. The independent device is not much effective as user wont waste their money for this feature only, so i came with the idea that it should be integrated into the mobile devices so that your mobile itself will come with this USB to USB data transfer feature like Camera, Mp3, etc. and the device can use Mobile phone's user interface to interact with USB.
With this there are some more innovative ideas i have that could be implemented but as i am professional and working in a company i am making it by getting time from that work load.

USB to USB Data Transfer Device
Same news on Silobraker click here to see.
Following is the image for my finished device.
Hope you have enjoyed and have got many inputs from this post. To have something innovative idea and that can be said a useful for us, you must search the idea around you. Mostly it comes through some incidences like i have. Your eye must find it. Once you have a concept then no matter whether you are expert in technical things or not, because there are many technical experts who can help you to implement the idea you come up with. So observe the problems with open eyes which can be solved using electronic solution, that's the key to innovate new things.
