Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for sending data from a mobile telephone require users to manually enter a destination address, which complicates the process and slows down data transmission during a telephone call.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that automatically determine the destination address using identifier data stored during a telephone call, allowing users to send data to the other party without specifying the address, by incorporating a radio cellular transceiver, memory, and control means in a mobile cellular telephone terminal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual destination address specification is required for data messaging, then message delivery accuracy is ensured, but user convenience deteriorates and operation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of data sendingVSAvoidtime for address specification
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically determining the destination address using identifier data stored during the telephone call before the user needs to send data. The control means automatically retrieves and processes the identifier data to determine the correct destination address, eliminating the need for manual address specification at the time of data sending.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service by having the terminal automatically determine the destination address without requiring user intervention for address specification. The control means uses stored identifier data to autonomously identify the correct recipient, allowing the system to serve itself in the address determination process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If automatic destination address determination is implemented, then ease of operation improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of data sendingVSAvoidcomplexity of address determination
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control means performs multiple functions: it manages the telephone call, stores identifier data during the call, retrieves the identifier data when data needs to be sent, determines the destination address, and controls the data transmission. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The control means acts as an intermediary that coordinates between the radio cellular transceiver, memory, and user interface. It manages the storage, retrieval, and processing of identifier data, and controls the automatic determination of destination addresses, simplifying the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Extent of automation

If identifier data is stored during telephone calls, then automatic address determination becomes possible, but information storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation of address determinationVSAvoidamount of identifier data stored
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary identifier data from the telephone call process and stores it in the memory. Instead of storing complete call records or unnecessary information, the control means selectively stores only the identifier data needed for automatic address determination, minimizing the data storage requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method of sending data from a first party participating in a telephone call to a second party participating in the telephone call, comprising, in the terminal of the first party, storing, as a consequence of the telephone call, identifier data that identifies the second party; using the stored identifier data to determine automatically a destination address for a data message; and sending, during the telephone call, the data message with the automatically determined destination address. A method for sending data from a first party participating in a telephone call to a second party participating in the telephone call, comprising, in the terminal of the first party: providing, while the telephone call is on-going, a user selectable option to transfer data to another party participating in the telephone call without user specification of a destination address.
