Mobile Terminal Message Transmission Service Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile communication terminals are complex and inflexible for users when sending messages, requiring users to manually select message type, format, and size before transmission.
Innovation Solution
A method that analyzes message content and recipient information to automatically determine the most suitable transmission service, such as SMS, MMS, or email, based on content type and recipient capabilities, and considers cost and service availability for optimized transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user manually selects message type, format, and size before transmission, then the user has control over the message, but the operation becomes complex and inflexible
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically analyzes the message content and recipient information to determine the most suitable transmission service without requiring manual user selection. The message creation process serves itself by autonomously deciding on message type, format, and transmission method based on analyzed characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of message transmission by automatically selecting different transmission services (SMS, MMS, email) based on the analyzed content characteristics and recipient information, rather than requiring users to manually adjust these parameters.
2Productivity
If the user selects transmission service based on content analysis, then the transmission becomes optimized, but the system requires complex analysis capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs content analysis before the transmission decision is made, preparing the transmission parameters in advance. The analysis of message content and recipient information is conducted preliminarily to enable automated selection of the optimal transmission service.
Solution Approach 2:
The content analysis system acts as an intermediary between the user's message creation and the actual transmission process. It mediates by analyzing the message characteristics and matching them with appropriate transmission services, enabling optimized transmission without direct user intervention.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple transmission services are available, then the system becomes versatile, but the user interface becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides multiple transmission services (SMS, MMS, email) as universal options that can be automatically selected based on the message content and recipient. Instead of presenting multiple complex options to the user, the system makes the appropriate service available universally through automated analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The system self-determines which transmission service to use based on analyzing the message content and recipient information, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex interfaces to select appropriate services. The multi-functional capability is activated automatically without user input.

AI summary
In a mobile communication terminal, message content (e.g. kind of content and length of the message) and recipient information (e.g. telephone number or e-mail address) is received input from a user during a message creation process (404, 406) . After receiving a triggering signal indicating an end of the message creation process (408) , the message content and the recipient information is analyzed (410) . The analysis results in a indication of a most suitable transmission service for transmitting the message content to the recipient (412, 414, 416) . Then the message content is transmitted via the most suitabl message transmission service (e.g. as an sms, mms, e-mail) .
