Caller-Specific Call Reception Screen with Dynamic Visual Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices do not effectively inform users about incoming calls by displaying caller-specific information in a visually intuitive manner, and there is no method to synchronize visual call reception screens with audio or vibration notifications based on ringtone characteristics.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that identifies the caller and generates a call reception screen with image components whose visual properties change according to the sound characteristics of the ringtone, displaying the caller's photo and synchronizing visual and audio notifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the caller's photo is displayed in a relatively large size on the call reception screen, then the user can intuitively recognize the caller, but the privacy of the caller may be infringed
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into multiple regions: a first region displaying the caller's photo and a second region displaying the call reception screen. This spatial segmentation allows the photo to be displayed in a relatively large size for intuitive recognition while limiting its exposure scope to a specific region, thereby balancing caller recognition with privacy protection.
2Device complexity
If a uniform call reception screen is displayed regardless of the caller, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user cannot intuitively recognize the caller's personality
Solution Approach 1:
The call reception screen is configured with different display characteristics in different regions. The first region displays the caller's photo with visual properties that reflect the caller's personality, while the second region displays standard call information. This local differentiation allows the screen to convey caller-specific personality information without requiring a complete redesign of the entire interface, thus managing complexity while preserving information.
Solution Approach 2:
The visual properties of the image components in the caller's photo (such as brightness, saturation, or other visual characteristics) are dynamically adjusted according to the sound characteristics of the ringtone. This dynamic adaptation allows the screen to reflect caller personality and ringtone characteristics without requiring multiple static screen configurations, thereby maintaining relative simplicity while providing personalized information.
3Ease of operation
If the call reception screen is output without synchronizing with the ringtone characteristics, then the device operation is simplified, but the temporal matching of visual and audio notifications is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system analyzes the sound characteristics of the ringtone and uses this feedback to adjust the visual properties of the image components in real-time. The processor detects ringtone characteristics and dynamically modifies the display properties of the caller's photo accordingly, achieving temporal synchronization between audio and visual notifications while maintaining relatively simple operation through automated feedback-based adjustment.

AI summary
An electronic device according to various embodiments may comprise a communication module, a display, an output device, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: in response to the reception of a call signal through the communication module, identify a caller corresponding to the call signal; identify a first photo on the basis of the caller; when the electronic device has been configured to output sound in response to the reception of the call signal, output an incoming call screen generated on the basis of the first photo to at least part of the display, wherein the incoming call screen includes one or more image components, each having at least one display attribute that changes according to a change of the sound characteristics of a ringtone; and output the ringtone through the output device while outputting the incoming call screen. Various other embodiments are also possible.
