Mobile Terminal Real-Time Contact Display via Server Sync
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile communication terminals face challenges in displaying up-to-date contact information in a consistent format across different operating systems and brands, and struggle to provide detailed information for business numbers not saved in the address book, often resulting in incomplete or inaccurate displays.
Innovation Solution
A method for real-time information display on mobile communication terminals involves searching and updating attribute information from a server, allowing for consistent and complete information display across various platforms, including business information, without the need for user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If contact information is saved locally in the address book, then the information can be displayed on the mobile phone interface, but the information cannot be updated in real time and requires manual editing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between contacts and the user's mobile phone. The server stores and manages contact information centrally, allowing automatic updates to be pushed to users without manual intervention. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining information accuracy through centralized storage while eliminating manual updating operations through automated synchronization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-saving contact information on the server before it is needed by the user. When a contact's information changes, the server proactively pushes the updated information to users who have that contact in their address book, eliminating the need for users to manually check for or update information.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different mobile phone brands save different types of contact information, then each brand can optimize for its own features, but display formats become inconsistent across platforms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by creating a standardized data structure on the server that can accommodate various types of contact information (names, phone numbers, portraits, cities, etc.) in a unified format. This standardized structure is then adapted to different mobile phone platforms, allowing the same contact information to be displayed consistently across different brands and operating systems while maintaining platform-specific optimization capabilities.
3Loss of information
If third-party software displays additional relevant information in a small window, then more information is provided to the user, but the small window may partially hide the system interface information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by changing the spatial dimension of information display. Instead of overlaying additional information in a small window that obscures the interface, the patent extracts and displays contact information (such as portraits and city names) directly integrated into the call interface elements themselves. This dimensional reorganization allows complete information display without interface obstruction.

AI summary
The embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for real-time displaying information and a mobile communication terminal. The method includes: searching multiple kinds of attribute information of a current communication object in the mobile communication terminal upon communication of the mobile communication terminal; determining at least one kind of attribute information of the multiple kinds of attribute information changed in a server; acquiring the changed attribute information from the server, so as to update the multiple kinds of attribute information; and displaying the updated multiple kinds of attribute information on a communication interface of the mobile communication terminal according to a preset display format. The embodiment of the present invention may reduce the user's operations, make the display of the information more consistent and facilitate browsing information for a user.
