Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional portable devices require repetitive processes to use the message service function, making it inconvenient for users to send messages quickly and efficiently.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that generate input signals or sliding sensor signals to activate a message write window based on the environment of the application program being used, allowing for rapid and convenient message service by integrating a keypad, slide sensor, controller, storage unit, and display unit to manage the message service function.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the conventional message service function is used by selecting from menu and activating message write window, then the message service can be provided, but the process must be repetitively performed making it inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconvenience of message service usageVSAvoidtime required for repetitive message service process

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The message write window is pre-configured and automatically activated based on detected input signals or sliding operations, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate menus and activate the window each time a message needs to be sent

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects user intent through input signals or sliding operations and self-activates the message write window without requiring manual intervention, making the system serve itself rather than requiring the user to perform repetitive activation steps

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the message service function is integrated into the portable device, then message transmission capability is provided, but the repetitive process of selecting menu and activating window increases operational complexity

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemessage service functionalityVSAvoidcomplexity of message service process

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The message service activation is merged with the existing input signal processing and sliding operation detection mechanisms, combining multiple functions into a unified automated process that reduces operational steps

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
