Mobile Terminal Message Control via Scheduled Emotional Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals, particularly watch-type devices, lack an efficient and user-friendly method for controlling message transmission and reception, especially in unintended environments, and do not effectively convey user emotions through conventional message creation screens.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal system that allows users to create and set message reception times, transmit messages with emotional content directly to receivers in specific situations without using the conventional message creation screen, and receive messages through unintended actions or events, enabling a new conversation pattern.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional message creation screen is used on a watch-type mobile terminal, then the message transmission function is available, but the operation becomes complex and user-unfriendly due to limited display area and input methods
Solution Approach 1:
The message creation process is segmented into distinct phases: emotion selection, time/event selection, and automatic generation. Each phase is handled separately through simplified UI elements (emotion icons, time slots, event triggers) rather than requiring full message composition, thereby reducing operational complexity on wearable devices
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically generates message content based on selected emotions and events, eliminating the need for manual typing or composition. The terminal self-services the message creation task by converting emotion selections into pre-formulated messages, significantly easing operation on watch-type devices
2Adaptability or versatility
If messages are transmitted immediately after creation, then real-time communication is achieved, but the ability to convey emotions at appropriate moments is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Users pre-select emotions and desired transmission times or events before the actual message sending occurs. The system stores these selections and automatically transmits messages at the predetermined moments, allowing users to plan emotional expressions in advance while ensuring timely delivery
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback mechanisms that allow users to review and adjust message timing selections before final confirmation. The terminal monitors selected events and provides status updates, enabling users to refine timing decisions based on real-time conditions while maintaining the ability to convey emotions at appropriate moments
3Ease of operation
If a simple interface is provided on watch-type terminals, then ease of operation improves, but the range of conversation patterns and emotional expression capabilities is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses pre-defined emotion templates and message patterns that are copied and adapted based on user selections. Instead of requiring users to create unique messages each time, the terminal copies from a library of emotion-based templates, maintaining simplicity while providing diverse conversation patterns through different emotion selections and event triggers

AI summary
The present invention provides a mobile terminal and a method for controlling a mobile terminal. The present invention can transmit, to a reception side terminal, a drawing created by a simple operation, rather than a message created through a message application, by setting a message reception time and allows the reception side terminal to output, on a screen, the drawing received at a predetermined message reception time. Accordingly, a user of a mobile terminal can specify that the drawing created at a desired point of time can be displayed to the other party.
