Mobile Terminal Acceleration Sensor Alarm Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal technologies fail to allow users to recognize stored information at any timing without prior alarm setting, limiting user awareness of schedule, electronic value, and mail information.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal apparatus equipped with an acceleration sensor to detect applied acceleration, an alarm condition storage unit to set specific alarm conditions, and an alarming mechanism that alerts users when the detected acceleration and stored information meet the set criteria, enabling alerts for electronic value, mail, and schedule information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional alarm technologies are used to notify users of stored information, then users can recognize information at preset times, but users cannot recognize information at any timing without taking out the mobile terminal apparatus
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting specific acceleration patterns (such as shaking or dropping) that trigger immediate alarm notifications. This allows the device to proactively present stored information (schedule, electronic value, mail) to the user without requiring the user to manually access the device, thereby enabling information recognition at any timing rather than only at preset times
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal apparatus serves itself by automatically detecting acceleration conditions through its sensor and autonomously determining when to alarm stored information. The device monitors its own physical state and triggers notifications based on detected acceleration patterns, eliminating the need for user intervention to initiate information display
2Loss of information
If alarm notifications are enabled for all stored information, then users can access all information, but security of stored information is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different alarm conditions to different types of stored information based on their sensitivity. Schedule information may be alarmed under broader acceleration conditions, while electronic value and mail information require more specific or stringent acceleration patterns to trigger alarms. This localized differentiation allows comprehensive information accessibility while maintaining security for sensitive data

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables users to recognize stored information, such as electronic value, mail, and schedule details at any time, ensuring only the user aware of the alarm condition can safely acknowledge the information, with customizable alert methods based on acceleration and touch state.

AI summary
A mobile terminal apparatus according to this invention comprises an acceleration sensor 14 that detects applied acceleration; a storing unit 12 that stores an acceleration condition set in advance for the detected acceleration and stores an alarm condition set in advance for the stored information; and control unit 11 and sound generating unit 16 that alarm about stored information in accordance with an alarming method set in advance so as to correspond to the alarm condition, when the detected acceleration satisfies the stored acceleration condition and the stored information satisfies the stored alarm condition.
