Mobile Terminal Service Manager for Content Function Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile terminals lack an interface to connect and control game contents with other applications or functions, limiting the practical application of unique features and functionalities.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a contents player and service manager that registers functions in a service table, allowing contents to interact with applications and execute specific functions based on program instructions, enabling communication and control between platforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If contents are operated in a specific platform independently, then contents can be executed reliably, but the ability to connect with other applications and functions is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service manager as an intermediary component that bridges the contents player platform and the mobile terminal's general platform. The service manager receives service requests from applications, queries the service table to find matching contents, and coordinates execution between the two platforms. This mediator enables contents to connect with other applications and functions while maintaining reliable execution through the structured service table lookup mechanism.
2Stability of the object's composition
If contents are separately operated from general applications, then platform stability is maintained, but practical application of unique functions cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a service table that stores service information from multiple sources including contents, applications, and terminal functions in a unified structure. This universal service registry allows any component (contents, applications, or terminal functions) to be invoked through a common interface, enabling practical application of unique functions while maintaining platform stability through standardized access methods.
3Device complexity
If no interface exists for connecting contents with general applications, then system complexity is reduced, but function control capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the function control capability into distinct modular components: a service table for storing service information, a service manager for handling requests, and a contents player for execution. This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive function control capability while keeping each component's internal complexity manageable and the overall system architecture clear and maintainable.
Data Source
AI summary
A mobile terminal and a method for controlling a function of the mobile terminal using contents are disclosed. The contents are authored to include function control information related to the function of the mobile terminal desired to be controlled. The mobile terminal downloads the contents and registers the function desired to be controlled included in the contents to a service table. The application of the mobile terminal does not execute the called function as it is if the predetermined function is called, but identifies if the called function is registered in the service table. If the called function is registered, the application cancels the existing execution routine for the called function and requests the contents player of the service related to the called function. Then, the contents player controls the called function according to a method programmed in the contents.
