Mobile Terminal Application Reexecution Screen Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
As mobile terminals become increasingly functional, users face difficulties in efficiently navigating and accessing various features due to the increased number of touch inputs required, making it cumbersome to switch between pages and execute multiple functions.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a touch screen and controller that allows users to set an initial screen for applications upon re-execution, using a simpler method such as stepwise entry or force touch inputs, to minimize unnecessary manipulations and provide easy access to required screens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the functionality of mobile terminal is diversified, then the application capabilities are improved, but the number of touch inputs required increases making navigation more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically setting and remembering the initial screen position for each application. When an application is launched, the controller retrieves the stored initial screen information and displays it without requiring the user to manually navigate through multiple pages. This preliminary setup eliminates the need for repeated navigation actions, resolving the contradiction between diversified functionality and ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pages are provided through application, then the functional features are improved, but the number of touch inputs for accessing required screens increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller performs preliminary action by storing the initial screen position information when an application is first executed or when the user manually adjusts it. Upon subsequent executions of the same application, the system immediately displays the stored initial screen without requiring the user to navigate through multiple pages. This eliminates time loss associated with repeated navigation through multiple screens while maintaining access to all functional features.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional touch manipulation is used for executing diversified functionalities, then the operational flexibility is improved, but the number of touch inputs required increases making it cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically managing the initial screen display based on stored information. When an application is executed, the controller autonomously determines and displays the appropriate initial screen without requiring the user to perform manual navigation operations. This self-service mechanism maintains operational flexibility for accessing diverse functionalities while significantly simplifying the manipulation required from the user.

AI summary
A mobile terminal including a wireless communication processor configured to provide wireless communication; a touch screen; and a controller configured to in response to a request to execute an application, execute the application and display an execution screen of the application on the touch screen, terminate the application and stop displaying the execution screen on the touch screen, and in response to a request to re-execute the terminated application, re-execute the application and display an initial screen on the touch screen among any one of a first screen set in an initial stage of the application being executed, a second screen displayed on the touch screen before the application is terminated, and a third screen designated through a first predetermined input for at least one page provided through the application.
