Mobile Terminal Storage Segmentation for Data Download Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional data communication methods for mobile communication terminals face challenges with large content data downloads, leading to insufficient free space in permanent storage, unnecessary data deletion, and inefficient use of temporary storage due to the need for a large temporary storage area and idle space.
Innovation Solution
A method for data communication that involves requesting object-data management information, judging data size, and determining whether to store data in temporary or permanent storage based on available space, allowing for efficient storage and reducing unnecessary downloads by suggesting users secure sufficient free space when needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the temporary storage area is increased to store substantial content data, then the content data can be stored, but the apparatus structure becomes large scale and idle space is wasted most of the time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the storage system into two distinct parts: a small temporary storage area for storing browser history and associated data, and a permanent storage area for storing substantial content data. This segmentation allows each storage area to be optimized for its specific purpose, avoiding the need for a large temporary storage area while ensuring substantial content data can be stored permanently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary judgment about the size of content data before downloading. The communication terminal judges whether the content data size exceeds a predetermined threshold before initiating the download. Based on this preliminary action, the system determines in advance whether to use temporary or permanent storage, preventing the waste of temporary storage space and avoiding the need for a large temporary storage area.
2Quantity of substance
If the temporary storage area is increased to store substantial content data, then the content data can be stored, but a large amount of idle space is developed in the temporary storage area most of the time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary judgment about content data size before downloading. By judging whether the content data exceeds a predetermined size threshold in advance, the system determines beforehand whether to store in temporary or permanent storage area. This prevents the scenario where substantial content data occupies temporary storage, creating large amounts of idle space waste.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different storage strategies based on the local characteristics of the data being stored. Small browser history and associated data are stored in the temporary storage area where they are frequently accessed, while substantial content data is stored in the permanent storage area. This local quality approach ensures that each type of data is stored in the most appropriate location, eliminating idle space waste in the temporary storage area.
3Quantity of substance
If content data is downloaded to permanent storage area, then storage space is preserved, but user convenience deteriorates when free area is insufficient requiring explicit deletion commands
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automatic judgment mechanism that determines whether to store content data in the temporary or permanent storage area without requiring user intervention. The communication terminal automatically judges the content data size and selects the appropriate storage area based on predetermined criteria. This self-service approach preserves permanent storage space while maintaining user convenience by eliminating the need for explicit deletion commands.
4Productivity
If conventional download method is used for substantial content data, then data can be downloaded, but download operation is wasted when lowest priority data is deleted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary judgment about content data size before initiating the download operation. By determining in advance whether the content data exceeds a predetermined size threshold, the system can decide beforehand to store the data directly in the permanent storage area. This preliminary action prevents the scenario where downloaded data is subsequently deleted due to storage space constraints, thereby avoiding wasted download operations and improving download efficiency.

AI summary
A cellular phone 10 transmits a request for management information including size information of object data which is desired to be downloaded, and determines whether a size of the object data exceeds a predetermined value or not, based on the size information. If the size of the object data does not exceed the predetermined value, the cellular phone 10 stores the object data, received in response to the download request, in a temporary storage area. If the size of the object data does exceed the predetermined value, the cellular phone 10 determines whether a free area for storing the object data in a permanent storage area exists or not. If a free area exists, the object data received in response to the download request is stored in the permanent storage area. As a result, the temporary storage area to be used for storing history is not used for storing a large amount of content data, and the history of a number of operations can be held in the temporary storage area without providing a large temporary storage area.
