Solution Overview

Problem

Existing caller ID and personalized call presentation services for telephony lack the ability for users to personalize their call presentation independently without relying on remote servers, which can be unavailable or expensive to maintain, and do not allow for immediate user experience without network connectivity.

Innovation Solution

A method and application that enable a telecommunications terminal to compose and transmit personalized presentation content, such as text or audio, directly from the terminal, without requiring a remote server, ensuring immediate service availability and user control over call presentation, even outside network coverage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a remote server is used to store and transmit personalized call presentation content, then the service can be provided to users, but the system complexity and cost increase due to server infrastructure requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized call presentation serviceVSAvoidserver infrastructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the personalized call presentation content from the remote server environment and embeds it directly into the caller's mobile terminal. The terminal now stores and transmits the presentation content locally, eliminating the need for a remote server to store and manage this content, thus reducing system complexity while maintaining the personalized service capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The caller's mobile terminal becomes self-sufficient by storing the personalized presentation content locally and autonomously transmitting it during call setup. The terminal serves itself by managing its own presentation content without requiring external server intervention, thereby eliminating the need for complex server infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If a remote server is required to provide personalized call presentation, then the service can be delivered, but service availability decreases when the server is unavailable or the user is outside network coverage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized call presentation serviceVSAvoidservice availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The personalized call presentation content is prepared and stored in advance within the caller's mobile terminal, before any call is made. This preliminary local storage ensures that the content is immediately available for transmission during call setup, without requiring real-time server access or network connectivity, thus ensuring service reliability even when outside network coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile terminal autonomously retrieves and transmits the personalized presentation content from its own local storage during call setup, without requiring external server assistance. This self-service capability ensures the service remains reliable and available regardless of server status or network coverage conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If personalized presentation content is transmitted during call setup, then the caller can encourage the recipient to answer, but the call must be delayed until transmission is complete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized call presentationVSAvoidcall initiation delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transmits only the essential personalized presentation content (such as a brief text message or audio snippet) during call setup, rather than transmitting complete or excessive information. This partial transmission approach delivers sufficient personalization to encourage the recipient to answer while minimizing the transmission time and resulting delay before the call connects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

The method involves obtaining a presentation content (3030) by obtaining a text of a user of a calling telecommunication terminal in a pop-up window, and sending the content (3040) in form of short message service to destination of a to be called telecommunication terminal. The called telecommunication terminal is called (3060) by the calling terminal, where an identifier of line of the called terminal is transmitted to a telephone switch by the calling terminal. The obtaining and sending processes of the content are performed by the calling telecommunication terminal. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for initiating audio conversation by an initiation process (2) a computer application implemented by a processor of telecommunication terminal to execute a method for initiating a conversation (3) a portable electronic entity comprising a memory for recording a computer application.
