Bidirectional Information Sharing System for Mobile Call Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile phone technologies lack efficient means to share information about specific days, feelings, or inquiries before a call, and fail to discreetly inform close acquaintances of relationship status, leading to unnecessary behaviors and difficulties in real-time file sharing.
Innovation Solution
A bidirectional information sharing system using a wireless data network that allows mobile phones to transmit and receive pre-stored sharing information, including alarm notifications and file sharing, enabling users to know the caller's details and status before a call, and securely share information with close acquaintances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If alarm notification for specific days is displayed on the screen, then the user can be informed of important dates, but it creates an illusion of being a phone call and causes unnecessary user behavior
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system segments information display by type and context. Different visual indicators are used for alarm notifications versus incoming calls, and the notification is segmented to show only relevant information (date, event) without mimicking call interface elements, thus preventing user confusion while maintaining information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of making the notification look like a call (which causes confusion), the invention inverts the approach by making the notification distinctly different from a call interface. The notification uses unique visual characteristics that clearly distinguish it from incoming calls, preventing the illusion effect while still capturing user attention.
2Loss of information
If the user directly talks over the phone to inform the called party of feelings or inquiries, then communication can be established, but it is difficult to directly inform the called party of the user's feeling or conditions before the call
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically transmitting sharing information (feelings, inquiries, conditions) before the telephone call is established. This pre-transmission occurs during the call setup phase, allowing the called party to be informed of the user's state before actual conversation begins, eliminating the need to waste call time on introductory statements.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces an intermediary mechanism (automated information sharing system) that transmits personal information between parties before the call. This intermediary handles the transmission of feelings and conditions independently, allowing direct communication to focus on substantive matters rather than preliminary introductions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If mobile phone technologies transmit sharing information to unspecified third parties, then information can be shared broadly, but it cannot discreetly inform only close acquaintances of relationship status
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by allowing different privacy settings for different information types and different contact groups. Relationship status information can be configured to be shared only with specific groups (e.g., close acquaintances) while other information may be shared more broadly. This enables discreet information sharing with selected individuals while maintaining broader sharing capabilities for other content.
4Loss of information
If file sharing is transmitted from caller's mobile phone to called party's mobile phone, then file information can be shared, but the files may be changed through zoom-in and zoom-out and the called party's mobile phone cannot reflect the change in real time
Solution Approach 1:
The invention implements feedback mechanisms where the called party's mobile phone receives and displays file changes in real-time as they occur. When the caller modifies a shared file (zoom-in, zoom-out, edits), these changes are immediately transmitted back to the called party's device, providing continuous feedback that keeps both parties synchronized without manual intervention or delays.

AI summary
Disclosed are a bidirectional information sharing system and a method using a wireless data network that can improve convenience of use by setting notification information regarding specific days which is set to replace sharing information of an unspecified third party that places a call and output the sharing information to output the notification information regarding specified days on the screen when receiving a call of the unspecified third party and input the feelings or inquiries of a user using the mobile phone sharing information of the user to allow the called party to previously know the corresponding contents before a telephone conversation at the time of call connection, and change and set sharing information so as to officially inform only close acquaintances of a relationship status of lovers or the like rather than informing unspecified individuals, in particular, inform or introduce acquaintances of the called party of relationship status.
