Group-Based Phone Book Data Management in Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when moving and storing large amounts of phone book data in mobile communication terminals, as they must select and move data one by one, leading to increased key operations and time wastage, especially when transferring data between groups or from unidentified groups.
Innovation Solution
A method and mobile communication terminal that allows phone book data to be registered and moved in groups, enabling users to select and move multiple data entries simultaneously into a predetermined or newly created group, simplifying the process through user-friendly input modes and display arrangements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If phone book data is stored group-by-group in mobile communication terminal, then data organization and retrieval are improved, but moving and storing large amount of phone book data requires many key operations and increases time waste
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual data movement operations into a single bulk operation. Users can select multiple phone book data entries simultaneously and move them together as one group, rather than moving each entry separately. This combining of operations dramatically reduces the number of key operations required and eliminates the time waste associated with repeated individual movements.
2Ease of operation
If phone book data is stored group-by-group in mobile communication terminal, then data organization is improved, but moving and storing large amount of phone book data requires many key operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple sequential key operations into a single integrated bulk movement operation. By allowing users to select and move multiple phone book data entries in one action, the system reduces operational complexity while maintaining the organizational benefits of group-based storage.
3Ease of operation
If phone book data is stored group-by-group in mobile communication terminal, then data categorization is improved, but transferring data between groups becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables efficient data transfer between groups by merging multiple individual transfer operations into a single bulk transfer operation. Users can select multiple phone book data entries from one group and move them to another group in one action, dramatically improving transfer efficiency while preserving the categorical organization structure.

AI summary
A mobile communication terminal, and a method of registering phone book data in the mobile communication terminal, are provided, the method comprising displaying (S115) a plurality of groups of phone book data stored in the memory (150) on the display unit (190); displaying (S130) on the display unit (190) phone book data included in a group selected(S120) among the groups displayed on the display unit and read from the memory (150) in response to a user input (S125); selecting (S135) at least one of the phone book data displayed on the display unit (190); after the at least one phone book data is selected(S140), displaying an image on the display unit (190) to select whether a new group is to be created; determining (S145) whether a group creation request is received; if the group creation request is not received, assigning (S155) a group, from among the groups displayed (S150) on the display unit (190), where the selected phone book data is to be moved in response to a user selection information and moving and storing (S180) the selected phone book data into the assigned group; if the group creation request is received, requesting (S160) the user to input the name of a group to be created, creating (S170) a group having the input group name and moving and storing (S180) the selected phone book data into the created group.
