Life-diary Terminal Integrating Diversified Data on Temporal Axes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional data processing methods are inadequate for handling large and diversified data on portable devices, as they fail to efficiently classify and integrate various types of data, restricting the creation and utilization of rich information.
Innovation Solution
A terminal and method for displaying contents information that classifies pre-generated content into categories, displays creation dates on a screen, and presents data in a life diary mode using a contents graph with a time and date axis, allowing for the sharing of information across multiple terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data is classified and processed by type in conventional methods, then data processing is simple and straightforward, but the system cannot efficiently handle large and diversified data, restricting information creation and utilization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple types of data (communication logs, schedules, memos, multimedia) into a single integrated life-diary view. Different data types are combined and displayed together on one screen with unified temporal ordering, allowing diversified data to be handled without increasing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The life-diary screen serves as a universal interface that can display and manage multiple types of data simultaneously. The system provides multi-functional capability to handle diverse data types through a single unified display mechanism, enhancing adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Loss of information
If various types of data are displayed separately through specific menus, then each data type can be accessed individually, but the data cannot be associated with other types, limiting rich information creation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines previously separate data access paths into a single life-diary view where all data types are displayed together. This merging eliminates the need to switch between different menus while maintaining easy access to all data types through unified temporal navigation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension of data association by displaying multiple data types together in temporal order on a single screen. This dimensional change from separate sequential views to an integrated simultaneous view enables information association across different data types while maintaining operational simplicity.
3Quantity of substance
If a large amount of diversified data is stored in portable devices, then data storage capacity is sufficient, but efficient management and processing of the diversified data becomes necessary
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments diversified data into discrete content objects that can be individually identified and managed. Each data item is treated as a separate object with temporal metadata, allowing efficient processing and retrieval while maintaining the ability to handle large volumes of diversified data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the organizational parameter from data-type-based classification to time-based ordering. By reorganizing data according to temporal parameters rather than categorical parameters, the system achieves more efficient processing and management of large diversified datasets while maintaining storage capacity.

AI summary
A terminal and method for displaying contents information is provided for showing the contents information in efficient and intuitive manner. The terminal includes a memory unit for storing contents and creation times of the contents, a display unit for displaying a life diary screen including a time axis, a date axis and contents graph in a life diary mode, a key input unit for receiving a date selection command for selecting a date on the date axis and a control unit for retrieving contents created on the selected date, counting numbers of contents per date and controlling a display of the contents graph generated based on the number of the contents per date, when a date is selected through the key input unit.
