Boot Sequence Information Display for Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users experience boredom and uncertainty during the booting process of mobile devices as they lack information on the progress and duration of booting, leading to inefficiencies in user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method is introduced where specific user-monitored and collected information is displayed during booting, replacing traditional manufacturer or service provider logos, allowing users to track the booting progress and receive relevant data, such as schedules, photos, jogging history, or terminal usage, stored in an information file and executed via a booting code.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional manufacturer logos or service provider logos are displayed during booting, then the device maintains a simple and consistent display interface, but the user experiences boredom and lacks information about booting progress
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and preparing specific information (schedules, photos, jogging history, terminal usage) before the booting process completes. This information is gathered in advance and made available for display during the booting sequence, allowing users to see useful content while the device is initializing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary display mechanism that mediates between the booting process and the user. Instead of showing only static logos, the system uses the display unit to present specific information collected from various data sources, acting as a bridge that provides meaningful content during the transition period.
2Loss of time
If the device displays static graphic images during booting, then the display system remains simple, but the user cannot estimate how long booting will take
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by displaying specific information that changes or updates during the booting process. This feedback mechanism provides users with insights into what the device is doing and how long operations are taking, based on the specific information collected and displayed during booting.
Solution Approach 2:
The display transitions from static logos to dynamic content presentation. The specific information displayed during booting can vary based on what data is available and the stage of booting, making the display adaptive and dynamic rather than fixed and static.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple applications operate during booting to provide advanced functions, then the device offers more capabilities, but the booting time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and preparing specific information before the booting process completes. This allows applications and data to be pre-loaded or pre-processed, reducing the actual booting time while maintaining advanced functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent ensures continuity of useful action by displaying specific information throughout the booting process. This keeps the display unit productive and useful during what would otherwise be idle time, maintaining continuous value to the user while the system initializes multiple applications and services.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of displaying information when an electronic apparatus is booted is provided. The method includes storing specific information, the specific information being monitored and collected from data created when the electronic apparatus operates, in an information file, and executing the information file storing the specific information during booting of the electronic apparatus and displaying the specific information.
