Mobile Terminal Status Information Aggregation and Remote Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience in accessing and confirming various status information set on mobile terminals due to the complex navigation required through multiple menus, making it difficult to obtain service use information and status information at a glance.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal system that stores status information in a table format, allowing for display of all information at once via a key input command, and a system that enables status information to be requested and displayed over the Internet, using a user computer, Web server, and SMS server to manage and transmit this information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If status information is displayed in distributed service menus, then each service can provide its specific status information, but the user cannot confirm all status information at a glance and must navigate through complex menus
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges scattered status information from multiple service menus into a single integrated status information display. The control means aggregates status information from various services (call records, messages, settings, etc.) and presents them together in one unified view, eliminating the need for users to navigate through multiple distributed menus to access complete status information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension for accessing status information by enabling remote access through the Internet. The mobile terminal transmits status information to external devices via the Internet, allowing users to view status information from a different dimension (remote location) without physically holding or operating the mobile terminal.
2Loss of information
If users navigate through multiple menus to confirm status information, then detailed service-specific information can be accessed, but the operation becomes complex and troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The control means combines status information from multiple services into a single integrated display, maintaining completeness of information while eliminating complex navigation. The unified status information screen presents all relevant status data (call records, messages, settings, etc.) in one view, reducing the operational complexity of accessing complete status information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the control means with integrated display) that mediates between the user and the scattered status information in various service menus. This intermediary aggregates and presents status information in a unified manner, simplifying the interaction while maintaining information completeness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If status information is only accessible on the mobile terminal itself, then the information is readily available, but the user cannot access it when not in possession of the device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the Internet as an intermediary to enable remote access to status information. The mobile terminal transmits status information to external devices via the Internet, allowing users to access status information from any location with Internet connectivity, significantly enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of information access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a remote access dimension to status information availability. By enabling Internet-based transmission and display of status information on external devices, the system allows users to access status information from a different spatial dimension (remote locations) without needing physical possession of the mobile terminal.

AI summary
A mobile terminal is disclosed having a controller responsive to a status information display command inputted for detecting status information stored in a storage unit and displaying all of the status information at one time via a display unit. A system is disclosed having an Internet connected computer for generating a status information request signal in response to an input command, sending the generated status information request signal over the Internet, receiving information corresponding to the status information request signal over the Internet and displaying the received information. The mobile terminal stores the status information in the form of a table, and detects and transmits the information in response to the status information request signal sent from the user computer. A Web server is disclosed for transferring the status information request signal and the status information between the mobile terminal and computer.
