Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile devices lack the capability to effectively monitor and display key words spoken during voice communication sessions, limiting user interaction and information retrieval based on spoken content.

Innovation Solution

A method and mobile communication terminal configuration that enables voice communication between devices, monitors spoken words, determines key words by frequency, and displays them on a screen, allowing users to select and access associated information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If voice communication monitoring is implemented to detect and display key words, then information retrieval capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retrieval capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs an intermediary processing system that intercepts and analyzes voice communication data streams between the communication module and the display system. This intermediary component identifies key words and extracts relevant information without requiring complete restructuring of the device architecture, thereby improving information retrieval while limiting the increase in overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If real-time word monitoring and display is implemented, then user interaction is enhanced, but processing time and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements partial monitoring by focusing only on detecting and displaying key words rather than processing and displaying all spoken content. This selective approach enhances user interaction with relevant information while significantly reducing the processing time and computational resources required compared to comprehensive real-time transcription and display of entire conversations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Voice communication by first and second users in a voice communication session that facilitates communication between a first device through which a first user communicates and a second device through which a second user communicates is enabled. Words spoken in the voice communication session between the first device and the second device are monitored. Presence of one or more key words as a subset of less than all of the monitored spoken in the voice communication session is determined from the monitored words spoken in the voice communication session. The one or more key words are displayed on a display screen.
