Dual-Display Mobile Terminal Message Response Workflow
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile communication terminals lack the ability to display received text messages simultaneously with the message preparation window, leading to inconvenience in responding to messages and managing stored text messages.
Innovation Solution
A method and configuration for a mobile communication terminal with two displays, where one display shows received messages and the other displays a message preparation window, allowing users to prepare responses while viewing the received message content, and includes features for convenient retrieval and management of stored text messages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single display is used to show received messages and preparation window sequentially, then device complexity is reduced, but user convenience deteriorates due to repeated opening and closing of message preparation window
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display function into two separate displays: a first display for showing received messages and a second display for showing the message preparation window. This segmentation allows simultaneous display of different interfaces, eliminating the need to switch between displays and improving user convenience when preparing responses to received messages.
2Loss of time
If message preparation window opens and closes repeatedly, then content retrieval is simplified, but time consumption increases due to repeated opening and closing operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by keeping the message preparation window open on the second display while receiving messages on the first display. The system prepares the response message interface in advance and maintains it in a ready state, so when a user receives a message, they can immediately start composing the response without needing to open and close the preparation window repeatedly, thus reducing time loss.
3Adaptability or versatility
If text messages are stored in terminal memory, then message retrieval capability is improved, but management difficulty increases due to large volume of stored messages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the message management function by displaying received messages on the first display and prepared response messages on the second display. This separation allows users to easily distinguish between received and sent messages, and the system can manage different types of messages in different display contexts, improving retrieval capability while maintaining simple management through visual separation.

AI summary
A method is provided for displaying a message in a mobile communication terminal. According to one example, the method includes the steps of receiving a first message, displaying the first message on a first display of the terminal, and displaying a message preparation window on a second display of the terminal simultaneously with the display of the first message. Since the terminal user can prepare a response text message to a received text message while viewing the received text message, the preparation of the response text message can be more conveniently achieved.
