Face-to-Face Transfer: Sync Videos Over Home Wi-Fi

Many parents like to browse and add great courses on their phone during commutes or spare moments — but the kids use the family iPad or a kids' tablet.

"Anxin Learn" built a dedicated Face-to-Face Transfer engine: pick videos on your phone, come home, scan a code, and they land on your child's tablet in about a second — no re-searching or complicated setup on the tablet.

[!TIP] 30-second Face-to-Face quick-start

  • The golden workflow: parent picks videos on the phone daily; scan at home and they're delivered to the tablet instantly;
  • Smart sync, no duplicates: automatic comparison — only new videos transfer; already-synced episodes are skipped;
  • Fast over LAN: direct transfer through your home Wi-Fi — a hundred episodes can be packed and imported in ~2 seconds, using 0 mobile data;
  • A safe family sandbox: only the same family account or authorized child profiles can transfer — strangers can never push content to your child's device.

1. The Core Workflow: Pick on Phone, Receive on Tablet

Just three steps to sync across devices:

📱 Parent's phone (sender) → scan the QR code shown on the tablet
⚡ Fast LAN transfer → smart diff (only videos the tablet doesn't have yet; 0 mobile data)
💻 Child's tablet (receiver) → imported automatically into the right categories, synced in seconds!

  1. Step 1 (on the tablet): Go to [[Parent Center]] → tap [[Face-to-Face Transfer]] → stay on the "Receive Videos" screen (a dynamic QR code shows);
  2. Step 2 (on your phone): Open [[Face-to-Face Transfer]] on the phone → switch to "Scan to Send Videos" → point the camera at the tablet's QR code;
  3. Step 3 (auto sync): The system starts a smart diff (only brand-new courses and episodes transfer), then packs, verifies, and imports locally — usually within 1–3 seconds!

2. Key Features & Technical Strengths

  • :icon(sync): Smart diff, never duplicates: a unique digital-fingerprint algorithm checks what's already on the tablet and skips it — only missing content transfers. If the tablet already has everything, a friendly "🎉 Already up to date — nothing to send" appears;
  • :icon(wifi): Encrypted LAN peer-to-peer: transfer happens entirely on your home Wi-Fi, never through public servers — speeds of tens of MB/s, with zero mobile data used;
  • :icon(shield): Family sandbox security: only the same family account or family child profiles can scan-transfer between devices — strangers can't push unchecked content to your child.

3. FAQ & Quick Self-Check

Q: It says "QR code expired" or "wait timed out"?

  • Refresh the code: for anti-snooping security, the dynamic code lasts 5 minutes. Tap [[Refresh QR Code]] on the tablet to get a new one;
  • Check the same Wi-Fi: confirm both devices are on the same home network (watch out for one on 5 GHz, the other on guest Wi-Fi, or a phone hotspot with isolation on).

Q: Does Face-to-Face Transfer send the large offline video files themselves?

Face-to-Face Transfer sends playback indexes, collection structures, covers, and login-free credentials — only a few hundred KB, so it's instant. If you're transferring local offline videos, the system also supports direct LAN file copying.

Q: Will the tablet's check-ins and pacing records be affected?

Not at all! The receiver only merges new video entries and collection structures. Existing check-in days, stars, viewing history, and pacing schedules stay 100% intact.
