Media Folder Access Link Module for Short Code Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication devices lack an efficient method to provide quick and intuitive access to media-related resources using short codes, limiting user convenience in managing and accessing multimedia content.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that integrates an access link module within mobile communication devices to respond to short codes or vanity codes, displaying relevant access links and allowing users to access corresponding media resources, such as webpages, downloads, or promotions, through a media folder application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a dialing feature with short codes is provided on mobile devices, then users can dial frequently called numbers more quickly and accurately, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The media folder application is enhanced to perform multiple functions: it not only manages and plays media files but also serves as an access point for dialing short codes and accessing internet resources. By integrating these functions into a single application, the patent avoids adding separate dedicated features that would increase device complexity, while still providing quick access capabilities through the existing media folder interface
2Adaptability or versatility
If an access link module is integrated into the media folder application, then users can access media resources and promotions through short codes, but the application complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The access link module is merged with the media folder application rather than being implemented as a separate feature. The system combines media file management, short code dialing, and internet resource access within a single integrated application interface. This merging approach provides versatile access capabilities through short codes while avoiding the complexity increase that would result from adding separate independent features
Solution Approach 2:
The media folder application is transformed into a multi-functional platform that handles media playback, short code interpretation, access link generation, and resource access. By making the application universal and capable of handling multiple task types through a single interface, the patent achieves high adaptability without proportionally increasing application complexity
Data Source
AI summary
There is disclosed a system and method of providing access links in a media folder. In an embodiment, the method comprises: receiving as an access trigger one of a search term or short code corresponding to content in the media folder; displaying at least one access link in response to the access trigger; and in response to selection of an access link, providing access to a corresponding media resource. The access trigger may be received from one of an input field, a history log or content usage statistics, and the method may display a list of access links to media resources related to the content of the media folder. The access trigger is directly linked to content provided in the media folder in order to provide users with a convenient way to link to access links to related media resources.
