Communication Event Transfer Between Mobile Phone and Wearable
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication methods fail to ensure that users receive communication events in a timely manner, as they rely solely on the status of a mobile phone to determine whether to transfer events to connected wearable devices, neglecting the actual usage status of both devices.
Innovation Solution
A method where both the mobile phone and wearable device determine their respective usage statuses and communicate with each other to decide which device should receive and display communication events, using a server to forward events accordingly, ensuring timely notification based on actual usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the mobile phone determines communication event transfer solely based on its own usage status, then the system complexity is reduced, but the timeliness of communication event delivery deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where both the mobile phone and wearable device monitor their own usage statuses and exchange this information with each other and with the server. The mobile phone receives usage status feedback from the wearable device, and the server receives usage status feedback from both devices, enabling informed decisions about communication event transfer based on real-time status information from all involved devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces the server as an intermediary that coordinates communication event transfer decisions. The server receives usage status information from both the mobile phone and wearable device, processes this information, and makes the final determination about whether to transfer communication events. This intermediary approach distributes the decision-making complexity from the mobile phone to the server, improving timeliness while maintaining manageable system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the mobile phone always transfers communication events to the wearable device when not in use, then the user can access events on the wearable device, but the mobile phone cannot ensure it will receive events when needed
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable device provides feedback about its usage status to the mobile phone and server. When the wearable device detects it is being used by the user, it sends this status information back to the mobile phone and server, enabling them to understand when the wearable is actively being used and adjust communication event transfer decisions accordingly to ensure the mobile phone receives events when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts communication event transfer decisions based on real-time usage status changes. The mobile phone and server continuously monitor usage status information from both devices and adapt their behavior - transferring events to the wearable when it's not being used, and ensuring the mobile phone receives events when the wearable is being used - thereby maintaining both accessibility and reliability.

AI summary
A communication event processing method includes obtaining, by a first terminal, a use status of the first terminal and a use status of a second terminal. The method includes determining either the first terminal or the second terminal as a communication event receiving terminal according to at least one of the use status of the first terminal or the use status of the second terminal. The method includes sending, by the first terminal, a communication event transfer start instruction message to a server when the communication event receiving terminal is the second terminal and a communication event receiving terminal determined last time is the first terminal, where the communication event transfer start instruction message is used to instruct the server to forward, to the second terminal, a received communication event to be sent to the first terminal.
