Electronic Device Application Execution During Call
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when trying to transmit contents during a phone call, as they need to stop the call, select and attach files, and then resume the call, which is a multi-step process.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device method that allows executing an application during a call, detecting touch inputs to move objects between screens, generating a transmission message, and automatically sending it to the call counterpart, simplifying the process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the user stops the call to transmit contents, then the transmission can be completed, but the call continuity is interrupted and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares transmission capabilities in advance by allowing users to select and prepare content for transmission during the call without actually transmitting yet. The call screen displays transmission options preliminarily, so when the user decides to transmit, the process can start immediately without interrupting the call or requiring call termination.
Solution Approach 2:
The call screen serves as an intermediary interface that mediates between the ongoing call and the content transmission function. It allows users to access transmission capabilities while maintaining call continuity, acting as a bridge that enables both functions simultaneously without requiring full interruption of either.
2Productivity
If the user manually selects and attaches files during a call, then content transmission is achieved, but the number of steps increases and operation complexity worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the call interface and content transmission interface into a single integrated call screen. Instead of requiring separate applications or multiple screen switches, the transmission functionality is combined with the call interface, allowing users to select content and initiate transmission without leaving the call screen or performing manual file attachment steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The call screen is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: maintaining the ongoing call, displaying content selection options, and initiating transmission. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate dedicated transmission interfaces and reduces the overall number of steps required for content transmission during a call.
3Productivity
If the system allows application execution during call, then user productivity improves, but system resource management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the interface into distinct functional areas within the call screen: a call area for maintaining the ongoing call and a content area for selecting and managing content for transmission. This segmentation allows independent management of call resources and content transmission resources, reducing overall system complexity while enabling multi-task execution.

AI summary
The electronic device includes a display configured to display at least one of a call screen, a screen of an application, or a transmission application screen, an input unit configured to detect a touch input, a controller configured to execute the application during a call, to detect a touch input for moving an object to be transmitted within the screen of the application, to the call screen, to execute a transmission application based on information on the moved object when the touch input is detected, to generate a transmission message, to which the moved object is attached, through the transmission application based on information on a call counterpart, and a communication unit configured to transmit the transmission message to the call counterpart.
