FM Channel Priority Table for Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in quickly locating desired FM channels on mobile terminals due to large channel lists, especially when traveling to new cities, as conventional methods require page switching and do not prioritize frequently used channels.
Innovation Solution
A method that establishes a table with connection time-based priorities, allowing for smart searching by sorting channels based on usage frequency, updating the table when a channel is used, and displaying the most frequently used channels first, enabling quick access to preferred stations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If channels are arranged in a conventional order (e.g., frequency order), then the channel list is complete and systematic, but users cannot quickly locate frequently used channels when the number of channels is large
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-calculates and stores connection times for each channel in advance, creating a priority table before the user needs to search. When a channel search is initiated, the system already has the sorted priority information ready, eliminating the need for real-time sorting and enabling immediate display of frequently used channels
Solution Approach 2:
The channel priority table is dynamically updated based on actual usage patterns. Connection times are continuously tracked and the table is re-sorted as users interact with different channels, allowing the system to adapt to changing user preferences and provide increasingly accurate results over time
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system returns to the last used channel when activated, then user convenience is improved in familiar locations, but it fails when users travel to new cities where the previous channel is not applicable
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates location information as feedback to adjust channel selection. When the device detects a change in location (through GPS or other location services), it uses this feedback to query the priority table for channels relevant to the new location, rather than simply returning to the previously used channel. This enables the system to adapt to new environments while maintaining quick access
3Productivity
If all FM channels are displayed in the channel list, then users have access to complete channel information, but users spend too much time switching pages to find wanted channels
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and prioritizes frequently used channels from the complete channel list based on connection time data. Instead of displaying all channels in uniform order, it extracts the most relevant channels and places them at the top of the list, allowing users to access frequently used channels immediately without navigating through the entire list

AI summary
Disclosed in the present invention are an FM channel finding and searching method, a mobile terminal and a storage apparatus. By means of establishing a data table of different channels and priority levels of corresponding numbers of times connecting thereto or pre-determined priority levels, ordering current FM channel information by priority level according to the data table, and acquiring an updated channel list, then loading and displaying corresponding channels, thereby increasing speed of a user finding and searching FM channels, and making use more convenient.
