Mobile Terminal Status Update Method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current address books require manual updates when contact information changes, leading to poor user experience due to the need for manual notifications and updates between contacts.
Innovation Solution
A method where a first mobile terminal directly acquires status changes from a second mobile terminal, allowing for timely updates and dynamic adjustment of communication methods, thereby improving user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual recording and updating of contact information is used, then users have control over their address book, but the user experience deteriorates when contact information changes due to the need for manual notifications and updates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic status information updates where mobile terminals autonomously acquire and update contact status changes without requiring manual user intervention. The terminal automatically sends status update messages when contact information changes, and other terminals automatically receive and process these updates, eliminating the need for manual notification and update processes.
2Extent of automation
If automatic status update system is implemented, then user experience improves through timely updates, but device complexity increases due to additional communication mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the status update notification function from the core communication protocol, implementing it as a separate, dedicated message type. Status update messages are transmitted through existing communication channels but are structurally distinct and processed independently, reducing the complexity burden on the overall system while enabling automatic updates.
3Measurement precision
If frequent status checks are performed to ensure up-to-date information, then information accuracy improves, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous monitoring, the system employs event-triggered periodic action where status update messages are sent only when actual status changes occur. The terminal monitors for status changes and transmits updates periodically when needed, rather than continuously querying, thereby maintaining information accuracy while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to frequent active checks.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a status information update method, including: receiving, by a first mobile terminal, a status update message sent by a second mobile terminal, where the status update message is used to indicate a change of a status of the second mobile terminal; and updating, by the first mobile terminal according to the status update message, status information of the second mobile terminal that is stored in the first mobile terminal. According to the embodiments of the present invention, a first mobile terminal directly acquires, from a second mobile terminal, a change of a status of the second mobile terminal, so that the first mobile terminal can update status information related to the second mobile terminal in time and dynamically adjust a communication manner between the first mobile terminal and the second mobile terminal, which can improve user experience.
