Solution Overview

Problem

Existing NFC communication systems do not allow users to freely select the intention executed by a terminal, as the intention is typically predetermined by the operating system or currently running application, limiting user control over data transmission and connection types.

Innovation Solution

A service processing method and terminal that determine and display multiple intentions supported by both terminals, allowing users to select and execute specific intentions based on user triggers, such as gestures or voice input, using NFC connections for data transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If the operating system or application predetermines the execution intention, then the system operation is simplified and automated, but the user control and selection flexibility are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic intention executionVSAvoiduser control
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between automatic execution mode (for common scenarios) and user selection mode (when multiple intentions are available). The interface adapts its behavior based on the number of matching intentions, providing a dynamic balance between automation and user control rather than a fixed approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

When multiple intentions match the user's input, the system introduces an intermediate selection interface that presents the options to the user. This intermediary layer allows users to review and select from multiple possible intentions, bridging the gap between automatic processing and user control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If multiple intention options are displayed to the user, then the user control and selection flexibility are enhanced, but the system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser controlVSAvoidsystem processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the intention matching process into distinct phases: first parsing the input text to extract key elements, then matching against different types of intentions (message, call, appointment, etc.), and finally presenting results. This segmentation reduces the complexity of handling multiple intentions by breaking down the processing into manageable steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary text analysis and intent recognition before presenting options to the user. By pre-processing the input text and identifying potential intention types in advance, the system reduces the complexity of the subsequent matching and presentation phases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system supports multiple data transmission types and connection intentions, then the adaptability and versatility are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication flexibilityVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal intention recognition framework that can handle multiple types of communication requests (messages, calls, appointments, file transfers) through a single integrated interface. This multi-functional approach allows the system to support diverse communication scenarios without requiring separate specialized systems for each type.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses parameter-based intention matching where different communication scenarios are represented as variations of parameters (message type, contact, time, location). By changing these parameters, the same underlying system can adapt to different communication needs, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present invention provides a service processing method and a terminal, and relates to the communications field, so as to display an intention (intention), so that a user can freely select a to-be-executed intention. A first communications terminal determines L intentions, where both the first communications terminal and a second communications terminal support an application, the application supports the L intentions, and L is an integer greater than or equal to 1; the first communications terminal displays at least one of the L intentions; the first communications terminal determines a to-be-executed intention according to a trigger operation of a user; and the first communications terminal transmits data corresponding to the to-be-executed intention to the second communications terminal.
