Dynamic Mobile Menu Adaptation for Video Conference Services
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile communication terminals, particularly those using WCDMA networks, lack the ability to dynamically adjust their user interface menus based on the attributes of application services, leading to user inconvenience and limited functionality, especially in video and voice conference services where users must manually input participant numbers or navigate through unvaried menus.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for controlling a user interface menu on a mobile communication terminal that adjusts based on service attributes by receiving a service attribute notification from an application service providing device, allowing for features like call history view and phone number list search for participant selection, thereby enhancing user convenience and service functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the mobile communication terminal uses a standard unvaried menu for busy line mode, then the terminal can simply control the mobile communication terminal through a menu button, but the terminal is unable to recognize the video application service differently from the video call and provides identically the unvaried menu without the recognition per service
Solution Approach 1:
The menu system transitions from a static, fixed structure to a dynamic one that automatically adapts its content and configuration based on the detected service type. The control unit identifies whether the terminal is in a video call or video application service mode, and dynamically switches between different menu sets (first menu for video calls, second menu for video application services), allowing the interface to evolve according to operational context while maintaining simple button-based control.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the parameter of menu configuration based on the service mode. When the control unit detects a video application service, it switches from the first menu configuration (designed for video calls with transmission sound exclusion and user phone number transmission) to the second menu configuration (designed for video application services with participant selection and service-specific functions), thereby optimizing the interface parameters for each service type.
2Measurement precision
If the user directly inputs participant numbers in a predetermined format, then the user can select participants for video conference, but the user has to inconveniently input the participant's number of 11 figures one by one and cannot use call history or phone list
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces an intermediary mechanism (the second menu with call history view and phone list search) that mediates between the user and the participant selection process. Instead of directly inputting 11-digit numbers, the user interacts with the menu system which provides intermediate steps: viewing call history or searching phone lists, thereby simplifying the operation while maintaining accurate participant identification through the structured menu interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-organizing participant information in call history and phone lists before the user needs to select participants. The second menu provides pre-prepared lists and search capabilities, so when the user needs to select a participant, the work has already been done of organizing and presenting the information in an accessible format, eliminating the need for manual digit-by-digit input.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a method for controlling a user interface menu and a mobile communication terminal and a device for providing application service, applied with the same. According to an aspect of the present invention, the method of controlling the user interface menu can include receiving user interface menu forming information from the application service providing device if a call is connected between the mobile communication terminal and the application service providing device through the mobile communication system; extracting menu component data corresponding to a set user interface menu if the menu forming information; and combining the extracted menu component data and forming the user interface menu to be provided per the service attitude.
