Mobile Memo-Audio Synchronization with Indexed Playback Recall
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing memo functions on mobile devices are inconvenient for users as they often require summarized or abbreviated input, making it difficult to recall the meaning of recorded memos later.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that integrates a memo function with audio recording, allowing users to write and store memos synchronized with audio data, creating objects mapped to index points, and displaying a progress bar for audio playback alongside memo data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users input memo in summarized or abbreviated form, then input efficiency is improved, but memo understandability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the memo function with the audio recording function into a single integrated system. When a user inputs a memo, the system automatically records audio at that moment and links it to the memo. This allows users to input brief memos for efficiency while the associated audio provides the full contextual information for understandability.
Solution Approach 2:
The audio recording serves as an intermediary between the abbreviated memo text and the complete information it represents. The memo provides a quick reference or keyword, while the audio recording contains the detailed explanation, acting as a mediator that preserves full information without requiring lengthy text input.
2Device complexity
If memo function operates independently without audio recording, then device complexity is reduced, but memo recall effectiveness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges two existing functions (memo and audio recording) that are likely already present in the mobile device. By integrating these functions and making them work together through automatic triggering and linking, the system enhances memo recall effectiveness without requiring entirely new components or complex architectures.
3Measurement precision
If audio playback position is manually adjusted, then navigation precision is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically recording audio and creating indexed playback positions at the moment a memo is input. This pre-established indexing structure allows users to later navigate directly to specific memo-related audio segments without manual searching or adjustment, achieving precise positioning through simple user actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by displaying the progress bar and allowing users to see their current position in the audio recording. When users interact with memo objects, the system feedbacks the corresponding audio playback position, enabling precise navigation through intuitive visual and auditory cues rather than complex manual adjustment.

AI summary
A system and a method that executes a memo function cooperating with an audio recording function are provided. The method includes executing a memo including memo data synchronized with audio data, wherein the memo data is configured to a plurality of objects, and each object is mapped to a index point of the audio data, and outputting a screen corresponding to the execution of the memo, wherein the screen displays a progress bar for displaying a playback state of the audio data to first area and displays the memo data to a second area.
