Mobile Phone Event Information Display During Calls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern individuals often struggle to remember significant events or details about their friends, leading to unfamiliarity during phone conversations, which hinders relationship development.
Innovation Solution
A mobile phone-based information displaying method that retrieves and displays event information associated with a caller's telephone number, using a storage device to link task information with contact information and display relevant details during communication processes, such as incoming or outgoing calls, to provide human-oriented reminders.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a mobile phone stores contact information only, then the storage space is efficiently used, but the user cannot remember detail events of friends leading to unfamiliarity during conversations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically storing event information (birthdays, anniversaries, meeting dates) in advance and linking it to contact profiles. When a communication process is initiated, the system proactively retrieves and displays relevant event information before the user needs it, eliminating the need for manual memory and preparation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically managing event information without requiring user intervention. The mobile phone autonomously stores, links, and retrieves event data based on communication processes, providing reminders and information display automatically. This reduces the cognitive burden on users while enhancing information retention.
2Ease of operation
If the mobile phone displays event information during communication processes, then user interaction is enhanced with timely reminders, but the device complexity increases due to additional processing and display functions
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the event information management function with the existing communication process. The processing unit integrates event data retrieval and display operations into the standard call handling workflow, so that event information is displayed alongside contact details during normal communication processes without requiring separate systems or complex additional infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing unit is designed with multi-functionality to handle both standard communication processes and event information management. The same processing unit that manages call operations also retrieves, processes, and coordinates the display of event information, eliminating the need for dedicated complex subsystems and reducing overall device complexity.
3Reliability
If the mobile phone automatically retrieves and displays event information, then the user can maintain better relationships with friends, but more energy is consumed for data processing and display operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic action by triggering event information retrieval and display only at specific intervals - namely, when a communication process is initiated. Rather than continuously processing and displaying information, the system activates data retrieval and display operations periodically based on actual communication needs, significantly reducing energy consumption while maintaining relationship maintenance reliability.

AI summary
An information displaying method, a mobile phone, and a storage device are provided. The information displaying method comprises the following steps. Whether a communication process is started is determined. If the communication process is started, then telephone number information is received. Event information is obtained according to the telephone number information. The event information is displayed.
