Mobile Terminal Image Display Method for Counterparty Calls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile terminals can only display one image of a counterparty registered in the phone book, leading to a monotonous user experience, and changing images can be inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal and method that allow the display of various images associated with a counterparty during a call by registering and extracting images from the phone number information, including face recognition from stored images or web servers, and controlling the display to sequentially change images according to a preset rule.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If only one image of a counterparty is displayed, then the device complexity is low, but the user experience becomes monotonous and unsatisfying
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image display function into two distinct parts: a registered image stored in the phone book and multiple extracted images retrieved based on the registered image. This segmentation allows the system to display multiple images without requiring the user to manually manage multiple images, thus increasing image variety while keeping the operation simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The registered image acts as an intermediary that connects the user to multiple extracted images. Instead of requiring users to directly manage multiple images, the system uses the single registered image as a key to automatically retrieve and display multiple related images, resolving the contradiction between image variety and management complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users manually change images, then image variety can be achieved, but the operation becomes inconvenient and complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically extracting and displaying multiple images based on the registered image without requiring user intervention. The terminal automatically retrieves images from the server or storage unit and displays them in sequence, eliminating the need for users to manually change images while still providing image variety.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-registering a counterparty's image in the phone book. This registered image is then used as a key to automatically extract and display multiple related images during calls, eliminating the need for users to manually select or change images while providing diverse visual content.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple images are displayed, then user satisfaction is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The registered image serves as an intermediary that simplifies the system architecture. Instead of requiring the system to directly manage and process multiple images, the registered image acts as a key that triggers automatic extraction and display of multiple images from storage or server, reducing system complexity while enabling multiple image display.
Solution Approach 2:
The registered image performs multiple functions: it serves as the primary identifier for the counterparty, as a key for extracting additional images, and as a basis for sequential display. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate systems for each function, thereby reducing overall system complexity while enabling diverse image display capabilities.

AI summary
A mobile terminal and a method for displaying an image in the mobile terminal. The method includes registering a counterparty's image in a counterparty's phone number information, extracting an image containing the counterparty's image based on the registered image, and displaying the registered image and the extracted image. At least one image from the registered image and the extracted image may be selected and displayed, wherein the at least one selected image may be displayed by sequentially changing the displayed image according to a rule. The mobile terminal and the method enable the mobile terminal to display various images associated with a counterparty, thus providing user satisfaction and eliminating an inconvenience of requiring the user to change an image.
