Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication devices lack an efficient method to automatically transmit pre-set messages to callers whose calls are not answered, leading to unnecessary charges and missed opportunities for communication.

Innovation Solution

A communication device with a message transmitting system that utilizes an information matching table to associate phone numbers with predetermined messages and time intervals, prompting users with pre-set messages when an incoming call is not answered, thereby avoiding charges.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If automatic message transmission is implemented, then communication cost is reduced and user interaction is enhanced, but device complexity increases due to the need for information matching tables and processing logic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication costVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-sets messages and time intervals in an information matching table before calls occur. When a call is received, the system automatically matches the caller's phone number with pre-configured messages and time intervals, enabling automatic message transmission without real-time complex processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The information matching table acts as an intermediary structure that stores the correspondence between phone numbers, time intervals, and messages. This intermediary data structure simplifies the matching process by pre-organizing the relationships, reducing the complexity of real-time decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If manual message sending is used, then device complexity remains low, but communication efficiency decreases and charges are incurred unnecessarily

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic message transmission without requiring manual user intervention. When a call is received, the system autonomously matches the phone number with the information matching table, selects the appropriate message and time interval, and transmits the message automatically, thereby improving communication efficiency while keeping the user's role minimal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If real-time call monitoring is implemented, then message timing accuracy is improved, but energy consumption and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage timing accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes time intervals and message correspondences in the information matching table before calls occur. During call handling, the system only needs to match the actual call time with the pre-defined time intervals rather than continuously monitoring and calculating timing in real-time, significantly reducing processing requirements and energy consumption while maintaining timing accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A message transmitting method of a communication device, the communication devices stores an information matching table. The information matching table includes a telephone directory column recording a plurality of predetermined telephone numbers and a message column recording a plurality of predetermined messages in advance. When an incoming call is received, whether a phone number of the incoming call is recorded in the telephone directory column of the matching information table is determined. If the phone number of the incoming call is recorded in the telephone directory column, a prompt message stored in the information matching table is determined as a prompt message to prompt a user according to the phone number of the incoming call.
