Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in easily accessing and selectively viewing payment details performed using mobile terminals, as existing systems require separate menu searches and complex navigation.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal with a display unit and controller that executes a payment application, allowing users to view payment details based on images displayed, enabling easy access and selection of specific payment information through intuitive image-based interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users search and execute separate menus to determine payment details, then payment details can be accessed, but operation complexity increases and ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepayment detail accessibilityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the payment detail display function with the payment execution interface. When a payment is executed, the payment detail information is automatically displayed in the same interface without requiring users to navigate to separate menus. This integration eliminates the need for separate menu searches and combines multiple operations into a single unified interface, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining information accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Quantity of substance

If numerous payment details are stored, then comprehensive payment information is available, but difficulty in selectively providing desired payment details increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepayment detail volumeVSAvoidselective access ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments payment detail information into different display modes and categories. The system can display all payment details, selected payment details, or payment details filtered by specific criteria (such as date, amount, or transaction type). This segmentation allows users to selectively access only the payment information they need without being overwhelmed by the full dataset, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining comprehensive data availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic display options that allow users to adjust how payment details are presented. Users can dynamically select between different view modes (detailed view, summary view, filtered view) based on their immediate needs. This dynamic adaptability enables the system to provide the appropriate level of detail on demand, making selective access to payment information more convenient while maintaining the ability to access comprehensive data when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
