Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices require separate applications and processes to perform additional tasks during voice calls, which is inconvenient for users.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device and method for sharing data with a receiving-side device during a voice call connection by forming a data session based on voice call information, allowing for real-time data transmission and control commands without the need for a separate connection process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a separate application is run to perform additional tasks during voice call, then the additional function is provided, but the device complexity and user convenience deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadditional functionVSAvoidseparate application
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the data sharing function with the voice call application by forming a data session based on voice call information. This allows data to be shared during the voice call without requiring a separate application, thereby providing additional functionality while maintaining simplicity of the user interface and operation flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The voice call application is enhanced to perform multiple functions: both voice communication and data sharing. By utilizing the existing voice call connection to establish a data session, the same application serves dual purposes, eliminating the need for separate applications and reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a separate application is run to perform additional tasks during voice call, then the additional function is provided, but the operation convenience worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadditional taskVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines data sharing operations with the existing voice call workflow. Users can share data during a voice call through the same application interface without needing to switch to or launch a separate application, thereby maintaining ease of operation while enabling additional tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The data session is formed based on information from the existing voice call connection, which has already been established. This preliminary setup allows data sharing to begin seamlessly during the call without requiring additional connection steps or user configuration, improving operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If data is shared during voice call through separate connection, then data sharing is enabled, but the data transmission requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharingVSAvoiddata transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines voice call data and data sharing traffic into a single data session. By forming the data session based on the voice call information, the system can efficiently manage and transmit both types of data through the same communication channel, reducing redundant transmission overhead and optimizing data usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
