Mobile Terminal Notification System for Active Communication Sessions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication technologies lack a convenient method for users to remind each other during active communication sessions, leading to prolonged waits and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that allows a first mobile terminal to detect its movement status and send a notification request to a second mobile terminal through a server, which includes a second terminal identifier, and receives a notification response indicating whether the second mobile terminal is in an active communication or idle status, enabling timely reminders.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users wait for the other end to reply during active communication session, then communication protocol is maintained, but wait time increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting movement status changes and proactively sending notification requests before the user needs to wait for a reply. The server pre-processes the notification and determines the other terminal's status in advance, so when the user checks, the information is already available, eliminating the waiting time while maintaining communication protocol.
2Productivity
If notification system is added to enable movement-based reminders, then communication efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary between the first terminal and the second terminal. It receives movement status information, processes notification requests, queries the other terminal's communication status, and returns the results. This distributes complexity across the network infrastructure rather than requiring complex local processing in each device, achieving improved efficiency without significantly increasing device complexity.

AI summary
The present application discloses methods, devices, servers, and systems for notification between mobile terminals during communication. When two mobile terminals are in an active communication session, sometimes one terminal fails to respond to the other terminal due to various reasons such as distractions, additional responsibilities, or technical difficulties. The mobile terminal that is not getting a response may then utilize the process herein disclosed to notify the other terminal that a response is expected. By shaking or other convenient approaches, a mobile terminal may send out a notification request during an active communication session. The other terminal may return a notification response indicating whether the other terminal is in a current communication with a third mobile terminal or is in an idle status.
