Mobile Terminal Batch Contact Update Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminal systems are cumbersome when updating multiple contact numbers, requiring users to select and edit each contact individually, leading to inefficiency and poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with an edition module, control module, and update module that provides a contact update interface with selection and edition controls, allowing users to select and edit multiple contacts simultaneously, and update them in a database, including the option to read information from call records and stop updating when the designated number of contacts is reached.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users update contact information one by one through individual selection and editing, then each contact can be updated accurately, but the operation process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual contact update operations into a single batch update operation. The system allows users to select multiple contacts simultaneously and update them together through one unified interface, combining what were previously separate operations into one efficient action.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the contact update process into distinct functional modules: a selection module for choosing multiple contacts, an editing module for modifying information, and an execution module for applying changes. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks efficiently while working together for batch updates.
2Productivity
If the system provides individual contact update interface, then precise control over each contact is achieved, but the complexity of updating multiple contacts increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal contact update interface that can handle both single and multiple contacts through the same workflow. The interface is designed to be multi-functional, supporting selection of one or more contacts, various editing operations, and batch execution, thereby reducing the need for different interfaces for different update scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides automatic functionalities that reduce user burden: auto-selection of contacts based on criteria, automatic application of edits across selected contacts, and intelligent handling of the update process. This self-service approach simplifies the interface by removing manual steps that would otherwise increase complexity.
3Reliability
If users manually select and edit each contact continuously, then complete coverage of all contacts is achieved, but the operational burden increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by allowing users to pre-select multiple contacts before executing the update operation. The system prepares the update interface with all selected contacts ready for editing, and can even pre-fill edit fields with existing information, so that when the user executes the update, all changes are applied simultaneously, ensuring complete coverage without repetitive manual operations.
