Solution Overview

Problem

Users of mobile terminals often fail to change data resources such as wallpaper, ring tones, and icons due to the complexity of the user interface and their busy lifestyles, leading to boredom with unchanged settings over time.

Innovation Solution

A device and method for processing data resource changing events in mobile terminals, which includes a memory for storing character UI images, an event collection part for detecting changes, an agent control part for recommending new resources, and an agent expression part for displaying avatars and text to suggest changes, utilizing a resource changing timer to initiate updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users manually change data resources frequently, then data resource freshness is improved, but user interface complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata resource freshnessVSAvoiduser interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors data resource usage duration and initiates change recommendations without user intervention. The agent control part detects when a data resource has been used for a predetermined period and automatically triggers the change process, eliminating the need for users to manually track and change resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system prepares change recommendations in advance by pre-selecting alternative data resources before the user needs them. When the monitoring period expires, the system already has ready-made replacement options available, allowing for seamless transitions without requiring users to search or select from scratch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If users manually change data resources frequently, then data resource freshness is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata resource freshnessVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The automated monitoring and recommendation system eliminates the time users would otherwise spend manually tracking data resource usage duration and initiating changes. The system self-monitors the predetermined period and automatically generates change recommendations, freeing users from time-consuming manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

By pre-selecting and preparing alternative data resources before they are needed, the system eliminates the time users would spend searching for and evaluating replacement options at the moment of change. The recommendations are ready in advance, allowing users to make decisions quickly or accept automatic changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the system automatically recommends data resource changes, then user experience is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An agent control part serves as an intermediary between the complex monitoring functions and the user interface. This intermediary component simplifies the system architecture by centralizing the logic for detecting usage duration, determining when changes are needed, and generating recommendations, thereby managing complexity in a modular fashion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system divides the data resource management functionality into distinct modular components: an event collection part for monitoring, an agent control part for decision-making, and an agent expression part for user interaction. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A device and method are disclosed for processing a data resource changing event in a mobile terminal by recommending a change from a specific, currently used data resource to a new data resource when the data resource has not been changed for a long time. The method for processing a data resource changing event in a mobile terminal comprises storing the data resource changing event occurring in the mobile terminal, confirming a specialist previously set to process the data resource changing event, calling the confirmed specialist to process the data resource changing event, and displaying an avatar and text according to event processing results.
