Mobile Terminal Input Processing During Active Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile communication terminals can only input numerals during active communication, limiting information input to numerals and risking loss of inputted data due to short communication termination screens and unfamiliarity with input methods.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for processing information input during active communication, enabling input of numerals, Korean characters, English characters, and special characters, with a controller for parsing and processing, storage for data, and a display unit for function menus, allowing users to select processing functions and store or process input data even after communication termination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a communication termination screen is displayed to allow input of numeral information, then the user can input and store phone numbers, but the screen remains displayed for only a few seconds which is insufficient time for unfamiliar users to complete input
Solution Approach 1:
The communication termination screen dynamically adjusts its behavior based on user interaction. When the screen is first displayed, it allows input for a predetermined time period. If input is detected during this period, the screen extends its availability or provides continued input opportunity, transforming from a static short-duration screen to a dynamic adaptive interface that responds to user needs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If only numeral input is enabled during active communication, then the system remains simple and communication is uninterrupted, but information input capability is severely limited
Solution Approach 1:
The communication termination screen is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both a communication termination interface and a general information input interface. During active communication, users can input not only phone numbers but also text messages, contact information, and other data types. This multi-functional design allows the same screen to handle diverse input requirements without requiring separate specialized interfaces for each function.
3Speed
If the active communication state is compulsorily terminated by closing slider or folder, then communication can be ended quickly, but inputted numeral information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
Before compulsory termination of active communication occurs, the system performs preliminary actions by displaying the communication termination screen in advance. This screen provides a warning or notification to the user that communication is about to be terminated and offers an opportunity to complete any pending input operations. By preparing the user and providing this intermediate step, the system prevents accidental loss of inputted information while still enabling quick termination when needed.

AI summary
A method of processing information inputted while a mobile communication terminal is in an active communications state is provided. The method of processing information inputted while a mobile communication terminal is in an active communications state includes receiving information inputted while the mobile communication terminal is in an active communications state; displaying, if the active communications state is terminated before processing the inputted information, the unprocessed inputted information that exists; and processing the unprocessed inputted information. The inputted information can be input using various input modes such as a numeral, Korean character, English character, and special character input modes.
