Mobile Device Concurrent Messaging During Active Calls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile devices require users to disconnect calls to send messages or files, making the process tedious and multi-step.
Innovation Solution
A mobile device with concurrent telephony and messaging capabilities allows users to send messages or files to call participants during a call, using detected caller details to facilitate seamless information transfer without interrupting the call.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users disconnect the call to send messages or files, then the message sending process can be completed, but the call must be interrupted and the process becomes tedious and multi-step
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the telephony function and messaging function into a single integrated system. The mobile device allows users to send messages and files during an active call without disconnecting, combining what were previously separate operations into a unified communication experience. This is achieved through a user interface that enables message composition and sending while the call remains connected.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting and storing caller details (such as phone number and contact information) before the user needs to send a message. This pre-capture of communication partner information eliminates the need for manual lookup during the message sending process, allowing users to quickly compose and send messages while the call is active.
2Reliability
If users perform lookup of caller contact information before sending messages, then accurate message delivery is ensured, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs the contact information lookup in advance by automatically detecting caller details during the call setup phase. The mobile device captures the communication partner's information (phone number, contact name) before the user initiates message sending, so that when the user composes a message, the recipient information is already available and verified.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service by automatically managing the contact information retrieval process. Instead of requiring users to manually search through contacts or enter recipient information, the system autonomously obtains and stores the caller's details, then makes this information available for message composition without additional user effort.

AI summary
A messaging application and a telephony application can be activated on a mobile device for sending messages to a connected party while a telephone connection is established between the mobile device and the connected party. A user can compose a message or send a file from the mobile device to the connected party based on the caller details associated with the connected party.
