Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for managing blacklists on mobile terminals are cumbersome, requiring users to manually select and add numbers to be rejected, leading to inefficient operation processes.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that detect terminal acceleration to automatically add identification information of a communicating terminal to a blacklist, allowing users to quickly and conveniently add numbers by shaking the device, thereby simplifying the process of managing blacklists.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual selection and menu operations are used to add numbers to blacklist, then the operation can be completed with basic terminal functions, but the operation process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of adding number to blacklistVSAvoidtime required for blacklist operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal automatically identifies and adds communication numbers to the blacklist based on detected shaking gestures, eliminating the need for manual selection and menu navigation. The system serves itself by autonomously completing the blacklist addition process when the user performs the shaking action, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical interaction of manual menu navigation with a gesture-based control system. The acceleration sensor detects shaking movements and triggers automated blacklist addition, substituting the complex mechanical operation sequence with a simple physical gesture, thus improving ease of operation while reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Device complexity

If multiple menu steps are required to add a number to blacklist, then the terminal maintains comprehensive control over the process, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomplexity of blacklist management processVSAvoidoperation efficiency of terminal
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the core function of blacklist addition from the complex menu system and implements it through a dedicated gesture recognition mechanism. By separating the blacklist addition function from the general menu navigation, the system reduces operational complexity while maintaining comprehensive control, thereby improving productivity without sacrificing system manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal pre-configures the blacklist addition functionality to be triggered by a shaking gesture, eliminating the need for users to navigate through multiple menu steps during the actual operation. The system is prepared in advance to execute the blacklist addition immediately upon detecting the gesture, thus reducing operation complexity and enhancing productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
