Solution Overview

Problem

Current video call-enabled mobile terminals are unable to selectively store audio or video data separately during a video call, leading to inefficient use of memory resources due to the need to store data in combination, which limits further utilization of the data after the call is over.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal with a controller that separates video call data into audio and video components and allows for selective storage and transmission of either audio or video data, using a memory that stores the data under the controller's control, enabling separate storage and transmission of each data type.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If audio and video data are stored together in combination, then the video call data can be preserved, but memory resources are inefficiently consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo call data preservationVSAvoidmemory resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the video call data into separate audio data and video data components, allowing independent storage of each type. This segmentation enables selective storage based on user needs, preventing unnecessary consumption of memory resources while preserving the ability to store complete call data when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The storage system dynamically adapts to user needs by allowing selective storage of audio, video, or both together. The system can switch between storing only audio, only video, or both combinations based on user preferences and memory availability, optimizing memory utilization while maintaining data preservation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If audio and video data are stored together, then complete data is available, but further utilization of data is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoiddata utilization flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

By separating audio and video data into independent storage units, the system enables flexible utilization scenarios such as storing only audio for voice memos, only video for visual records, or both together for complete call archives. This segmentation significantly increases data utilization flexibility while maintaining complete data availability when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The separate storage structure allows the same audio or video data to serve multiple purposes - audio can be used for voice memos or transcripts, video can be used for visual documentation, and both can be used for complete call records. This multi-functionality enhances data utilization versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If system resources are limited, then transmission efficiency is improved, but storage flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidstorage flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts storage behavior based on available resources and user needs. When memory resources are limited, the system can selectively store only audio or video data rather than requiring both, maintaining storage flexibility while adapting to resource constraints and improving transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
