Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile terminals lack the ability to seamlessly share and control contents with other mobile terminals, particularly based on operational states and display characteristics, while ensuring security and adapting to different configurations and events.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for controlling a mobile terminal that involves outputting stored contents and adapting their transmission based on the receiving terminal's characteristics, such as speed, configuration, and display settings, while ensuring secure transmission and event-driven content management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If contents are transmitted to another mobile terminal, then content sharing functionality is improved, but security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing capabilityVSAvoidsecurity risks
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying content transmission based on operational state parameters (e.g., vehicle motion detection) and display characteristics parameters (screen resolution, orientation). The system dynamically adjusts transmission parameters to enable or disable content sharing under different conditions, thereby managing security risks while maintaining functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the content transmission function adaptable to changing operational states. The system continuously monitors the operational state and display characteristics, dynamically enabling or disabling content transmission based on current conditions, ensuring security is maintained while functionality is preserved when appropriate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Manufacturing precision

If contents are adapted to display characteristics, then display quality is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting content parameters (resolution, format, orientation) based on detected display characteristics. The system modifies content parameters to match the target display device, improving display quality through automated parameter adaptation without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by having the system automatically detect display characteristics and adapt content accordingly without user intervention. The system self-configures content parameters based on detected display properties, reducing the need for complex user setup while maintaining high display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If content transmission is controlled by operational state, then security is improved, but functionality is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidfunctionality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by making content transmission functionality adaptive to operational states. The system enables content sharing when operational conditions are safe (e.g., vehicle at rest) and disables it when risky conditions exist (e.g., vehicle in motion), thereby maintaining security while preserving functionality when appropriate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by using operational state parameters as control conditions for content transmission. The system changes the transmission function's active/inactive state based on detected operational parameters, creating a dynamic security-functionality balance that adapts to current conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A mobile terminal and a control method thereof are provided. Contents displayed in a mobile terminal may be optimized for and displayed on a different mobile terminal in communication therewith. The method for controlling a mobile terminal includes: outputting previously stored contents to a first mobile terminal; and controlling a transmission of the contents being outputted based on characteristic information of a second mobile terminal that is to receive at least a portion of the contents being outputted, wherein there is a difference between the contents being outputted to the first mobile terminal and the contents the second mobile terminal is to receive and output.
