Group Attribute-Based Data Exchange for Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems between mobile terminals lack efficient methods to facilitate group-based information processing and interaction, leading to limited user engagement and motivation for inter-terminal communication.
Innovation Solution
A communication system with terminals that store and compare group attributes, initiating different information processing modes based on these attributes to enable group-specific interactions and game applications, such as rock-paper-scissors, while maintaining connectivity through relay apparatuses and a server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If communication terminals exchange data without group attribute comparison, then communication simplicity is maintained, but user engagement and group-based interaction are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-assigns group attributes to communication terminals before data exchange. This preliminary classification enables the controller to automatically determine the type of information processing (first or second type) based on pre-computed group attribute comparisons, eliminating the need for complex real-time analysis during data exchange and thus resolving the contradiction between enhancing group-based interaction capability and maintaining communication simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces group attributes as a new parameter for classifying communication terminals. By changing the classification parameter from generic terminal identification to group-based categorization, the system enables differentiated information processing modes without fundamentally altering the communication protocol structure, thereby improving adaptability while controlling complexity through parameter-based differentiation rather than structural complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different information processing modes are implemented based on group attributes, then user engagement is enhanced, but communication processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The group attribute comparison and determination of information processing type is performed as a preliminary action before actual data exchange begins. The controller compares group attributes and determines whether first or second type information processing is needed in advance, allowing the data exchange process to proceed efficiently without time-consuming decisions during transmission, thus resolving the contradiction between processing flexibility and time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically selects between different information processing modes (first type for same-group terminals, second type for different-group terminals) based on real-time group attribute comparisons. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize processing efficiency based on the specific communication scenario, enhancing user engagement through group-based interactions while minimizing time loss by avoiding unnecessary processing for irrelevant communication types.
3Adaptability or versatility
If group attributes are transmitted and compared between terminals, then group-based interaction is enabled, but communication data volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts only the essential group attribute information from the full terminal data and transmits only this extracted portion between communication terminals. By taking out only the necessary group identification data rather than transmitting complete terminal profiles, the system enables group-based interaction capability while minimizing the increase in communication data volume, thus resolving the contradiction between group identification capability and data transmission volume.

AI summary
A communication system which includes a plurality of communication terminals, each communication terminal includes: a memory that stores a group attribute representative of an attribute of a group, the group attribute assigned to a communication terminal or a user of the communication terminal; a communication unit that transmits the group attribute stored in a memory of a correspondent terminal located within a predetermined range from the communication terminal, and receives a group attribute stored in a memory of the correspondent terminal; and a controller that compares the group attribute received by the communication unit with the group attribute stored in the memory of the communication terminal and initiates selectively one of a first information processing and a second information processing based on a result of the comparison.
