Interactive Calling Cards for Call Importance Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing telecommunication systems lack the ability for callers to convey the importance of a call to recipients, limiting user interaction and decision-making based solely on caller identity.
Innovation Solution
The system allows callers to attach additional information, such as interactive calling cards, to voice communication calls, enabling recipients to understand the call's importance and make informed decisions about answering or calling back.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If only caller identity is provided to the recipient, then the system remains simple and easy to operate, but the recipient cannot make informed decisions about call importance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component (calling card or message system) that carries additional information about call importance between the caller and recipient. This intermediary allows the transmission of contextual information without fundamentally redesigning the entire telecommunication system, thus resolving the contradiction by adding information capability while maintaining system simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the call information into distinct components: basic caller identity and additional contextual information (such as calling cards or messages). This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive information without overwhelming complexity, as each segment can be processed and displayed independently.
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional information is attached to calls, then user interaction is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal calling card or message structure that can be attached to any call regardless of the specific communication device or platform. This multi-functional approach allows the same additional information mechanism to work across different devices and scenarios, enhancing user interaction capability without requiring each device to be individually complex.

AI summary
Systems, devices, and methods are described that allow more comprehensive interaction between users of a telecommunication system. For example, a described method comprises: receiving, from a first communication unit, a request to establish a voice communication call between a first user of the first communication unit and a second user of a second communication unit; receiving, from said first communication unit, additional information with regard to said request; and presenting, by said second communication unit, an indication of said request to establish said voice communication call and said additional information to said second user.
