Solution Overview

Problem

Portable communication devices automatically generate file names for content without considering the context, making it difficult for users to identify where and when the content was created.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that collect context information such as position, time, weather, and event data when content is generated, and use this information to create a title in a predetermined format, which is then displayed alongside the content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the system generates a file name automatically without considering context, then the file naming process is simple and fast, but the user cannot identify where and how the content was generated

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser ability to identify content contextVSAvoidcontext collection and processing system

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects context information (location, time, weather, event) in advance when the content is captured, and generates context tags before the user needs to view or organize the content. This preliminary action ensures that meaningful titles are ready when needed, resolving the contradiction between simple automatic naming and informative context-based naming.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces context tags as an intermediary element that bridges the gap between raw context information and the final content title. The controller generates context tags based on collected context information, and these tags serve as the basis for creating informative titles without requiring complex direct processing of all context data by the user.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If context information is collected and processed to generate meaningful titles, then content identification is improved, but the processing time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent context information retentionVSAvoidtitle generation processing time

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most relevant context information (location, time, weather, event) needed for title generation, rather than processing all available data. This selective extraction reduces processing time while maintaining the essential context needed for meaningful content identification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of title generation from real-time processing to batch processing using pre-collected context information. By storing context information and generating titles based on stored data, the system reduces real-time processing time while preserving complete context information.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A method for providing a content title of a portable terminal includes: displaying a particular content on the display; extracting context tag information corresponding to the particular content; generating the contents title according to a predetermined format based on the extracted context tag information; and displaying the content title and the particular content.
