Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mobile terminals operate passively and cannot actively react to users' behavioral patterns or life patterns, limiting their ability to provide personalized and convenient user experiences.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal with an input unit, location information generator, storage unit, and control unit that analyzes user behavior to display a standby screen based on historical usage data, predicting and adapting to the user's life pattern by generating and updating standby screen display information tables.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the mobile terminal operates passively according to user commands, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability to user behavior patterns deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user behaviorVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit performs preliminary analysis of user behavior patterns by collecting and storing command processing information in advance. The standby screen display information table is pre-generated based on historical data, allowing the terminal to proactively adapt to user needs before they are explicitly expressed through commands.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile terminal analyzes its own usage data and command processing information to automatically generate behavioral patterns. The system serves itself by using its collected data to improve its own adaptability, displaying standby screens that reflect its understanding of user preferences without external intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the mobile terminal collects and analyzes user behavior data, then the adaptability improves, but the loss of time for data processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebehavioral analysis capabilityVSAvoidtime for behavior analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit continuously collects and stores command processing information in the background during normal operation. The standby screen display information table is generated and updated in advance based on accumulated data, so that when a standby screen needs to be displayed, the analysis is already complete and no additional processing time is required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The behavior analysis process operates continuously in the background as the terminal is used, rather than being performed intermittently or on-demand. This continuous collection and analysis ensures that the system is always ready to provide adaptive standby screens without introducing delays when the user needs them.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Ease of operation

If the standby screen is customized based on behavioral analysis, then the ease of operation improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsoftware complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The standby screen display information table stores specific display information tailored to different locations and times. Instead of implementing a complex general-purpose adaptive system, the patent applies customization locally to the standby screen display function, keeping other terminal functions simple and unchanged.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The control unit uses a universal approach by maintaining a structured command processing information table that can accommodate various types of commands and behaviors. This universal data structure allows the system to handle diverse user interactions through a single standardized mechanism, reducing overall software complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A mobile terminal includes an input unit for receiving a command input by a user; a location information generator for generating location information on the mobile terminal; a time counter; a storage unit having a command processing information table and a standby screen display information table; and a control unit for analyzing the user's behavior by using command processing information stored in the command processing information table, storing the result of the behavior analysis in the standby screen display information table, and displaying a standby screen according to the result of the behavioral analysis with respect to the current location of the mobile terminal and the current time. Accordingly, using a history of the mobile terminal use provides an advantage of improved user convenience by predicting and actively reacting to a user's manner of using the mobile terminal.
