Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication terminal devices face challenges with large processing loads and lack of real-time performance due to voice synthesis and voice recognition conversions, making real-time communication in prohibited environments difficult.

Innovation Solution

A character communication system that switches between input regions and display regions on portable terminals, allowing direct character input and display without voice conversion, improving real-time performance by sequential character display and input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If voice synthesis and voice recognition conversions are used for real-time communication, then communication capability is improved, but processing load increases and real-time performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication capabilityVSAvoidreal-time performance

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the voice synthesis and voice recognition conversion processes from the communication system. Instead of converting text to voice and back, the system directly transmits and displays text characters between terminals, eliminating the problematic conversion steps while maintaining communication capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent inverts the traditional voice communication approach by using text-based direct transmission instead of voice synthesis and recognition. Rather than converting text→voice→text, the system uses text→text direct transmission, fundamentally changing the communication pathway to achieve real-time performance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Adaptability or versatility

If voice synthesis and voice recognition processes are implemented, then communication functionality is enhanced, but processing load becomes excessive

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication functionalityVSAvoidprocessing load

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of time

If character input and display regions are switched between terminals, then real-time communication immediacy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication immediacyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the input and display functions into a unified text transmission system. Both terminals have input regions for receiving text and display regions for showing received text, creating a symmetric and simplified architecture that achieves real-time communication without complex voice conversion processes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A character communication system includes a memory and a processor. The processor switches, when pressing of a first button is detected, from a predetermined screen of a first portable terminal to a first screen including a first input region and a first display region and displays the first screen on the first portable terminal, displays, on a second portable terminal, an incoming call screen including a second button, switches the incoming call screen to a second screen including a second input region and a second display region when pressing of the second button is detected, and displays a character input to the first input region in the second display region by overwriting when the character is input to the first input region, and displays a character input to the second input region in the first display region by overwriting when the character is input to the second input region.
