Communication Terminal User Status Detection and Connection Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems do not automatically consider the status of users before establishing a communication connection, requiring users to manually set call rejection or status reporting, which can lead to unwanted connections.
Innovation Solution
A communication terminal and system that detect user status information and establish a communication circuit only when a predetermined condition is met by comparing the status of the user's terminal with that of the intended counterparty, allowing for automatic control of connection establishment based on mutual statuses.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual settings for call rejection or status reporting are required, then users can control their own calls, but users must consciously make laborious settings and unwanted connections may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The communication terminal automatically detects the status of the own terminal and compares it with the counterparty's status without requiring manual user settings. The system serves itself by autonomously determining whether to establish a communication circuit based on pre-stored condition information and detected status information, eliminating the need for users to consciously configure call rejection or status reporting settings.
Solution Approach 2:
Condition information regarding the status of a counterparty is pre-stored in the communication terminal before actual communication occurs. When a communication circuit establishment request is received, the system immediately compares the detected own terminal status with the pre-stored counterparty status and condition information to automatically determine whether to establish the connection, performing the evaluation action in advance rather than requiring post-detection manual settings.
2Productivity
If connection is established when device is in status where connection is possible, then communication can proceed, but users cannot automatically avoid unwanted connections
Solution Approach 1:
The communication terminal detects the actual status of the own terminal and uses this feedback information to automatically determine whether to establish a communication circuit. The detected status information is compared with pre-stored condition information, and the system provides feedback control by automatically establishing or rejecting connections based on this comparison, thereby preventing unwanted connections without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication terminal acts as an intermediary between the received connection request and the actual establishment of the communication circuit. It introduces status detection and condition comparison as intermediate steps, where the detected own terminal status serves as a mediating factor that determines whether the connection request should be fulfilled, thus filtering out unwanted connections before they reach the user.
3Reliability
If status information is automatically detected and compared, then unwanted connections are avoided, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication terminal extracts and stores only the necessary status information of the counterparty in advance, rather than handling all possible communication parameters. By taking out and pre-storing only the essential condition information needed for status comparison, the system achieves automatic unwanted connection prevention while minimizing the added complexity of status detection and comparison mechanisms.

AI summary
A communication terminal includes a communication unit configured to carry out communications with a communication terminal of an intended counterparty; a detector configured to detect information reflecting a status of a user of the own communication terminal; a condition checker configured to check whether a predetermined condition is satisfied by comparing information reflecting a status of a user of the communication terminal of the counterparty, received via the communication unit, with the information detected by the detector; and a controller configured to exercise control so that a communication circuit is established with the communication terminal of the counterparty via the communication unit when it is determined by the condition checker that the condition is satisfied.
