Mobile Terminal One-Touch Function Execution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile communication terminals require multiple steps and key manipulations for users to access frequently used functions, causing inconvenience, especially when these functions are frequently utilized.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method for automatically registering and executing frequently used functions in a mobile communication terminal by associating them with one-touch execution objects, such as widgets or buttons, allowing users to perform these functions with a single touch by applying pre-configured values and strings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional menu selection methods are used to access functions, then the terminal can provide a variety of functions, but the number of steps and key manipulations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects frequently used function combinations and pre-registers them as one-touch execution objects. When a user repeatedly performs a sequence of operations (e.g., sending a specific message to a specific contact), the system proactively creates a shortcut that performs this sequence with a single touch, eliminating the need for manual re-execution of the same steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal autonomously monitors user operation patterns, identifies frequently used function combinations, and automatically generates one-touch execution objects without requiring explicit user programming. The system serves itself by learning from user behavior and optimizing the interface based on actual usage patterns.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple steps are required to execute a function, then the terminal can provide detailed control options, but user convenience decreases especially for frequent operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the interface based on user behavior patterns. For frequently used functions, it provides simplified one-touch access. For less frequent or more complex functions, it maintains the full multi-step menu structure. This dynamic adaptation ensures that control options are available when needed while maximizing convenience for routine operations.
3Ease of operation
If a one-touch execution object is created, then the number of touches required is reduced, but the initial registration process is needed
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal automatically monitors user operations and identifies frequently used function combinations. When a threshold is reached, the system autonomously creates one-touch execution objects without requiring user intervention for registration. This eliminates the manual setup time while providing the benefits of reduced operation steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs the registration action in advance by automatically detecting when a function combination becomes frequent enough to warrant a shortcut. Rather than waiting for the user to manually create shortcuts, the system proactively registers them based on observed usage patterns.

AI summary
An apparatus and method for automatically registering and executing a preferred function in a mobile communication terminal. The method includes registering a function and a configuration value and use character string/numeral string value for the function, to a one-touch execution object. The method also includes, when a one-touch input for the one-touch execution object is sensed, executing the function registered to the one-touch execution object, by the configuration value and use character string/numeral string value registered to the one-touch execution object.
