Solution Overview

Problem

Users of mobile terminals face inconvenience in receiving accurate information as they need to execute specific programs and provide input data suitable to the program, which can be time-consuming and cumbersome.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal with a virtual receiving unit, display unit, user input unit, and controller that generates response data associated with input data, allowing users to receive information without the need to execute additional applications, through a graphic image interface that activates input and output functions for displaying and transmitting data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users execute specific programs and provide input data suitable to the program, then accurate information can be received, but the operation process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of information receivedVSAvoidconvenience of receiving information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual receiving unit automatically receives input data from external terminals without requiring the user to manually execute programs or format data. The system self-services by autonomously processing the reception and generation of response data, eliminating the cumbersome manual operations while maintaining accurate information exchange

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal pre-configures the virtual receiving unit and necessary application programs before actual data exchange occurs. This preliminary setup allows the system to immediately process incoming data without requiring users to manually prepare or configure anything at the moment of data reception, thus improving both accuracy and convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal provides multiple functions and services, then the terminal becomes more versatile, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice functionalityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual receiving unit serves multiple functions: it receives various types of input data from external terminals, generates different types of response data, and interfaces with multiple applications (messaging, calling, etc.). This single multi-functional component reduces overall system complexity compared to having separate dedicated components for each function

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

Solution Approach 2:

The virtual receiving unit acts as an intermediary layer between external terminals and the terminal's various applications. This mediator handles all data reception and preliminary processing, simplifying the interface requirements for multiple applications and reducing the complexity of direct integrations that would otherwise be needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If the terminal automatically executes applications and processes data, then user convenience is improved, but the automation extent increases which may affect control

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidautomatic execution level
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides feedback to the user by displaying the generated response data for review before transmission. This feedback mechanism allows automatic execution to proceed while maintaining user control and awareness, balancing convenience with user oversight

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
