Portable Device Emotional Communication via Remote Setting Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current portable devices lack a method to effectively exchange emotional information between users, relying on basic communication methods like text, voice, and images that do not provide a personalized or emotional connection.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication system that allows portable devices to exchange and edit settings such as wallpapers, ring tones, and other visual and audio settings between devices, enabling users to remotely personalize and communicate emotions through these settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If basic communication methods (text, voice, pictures) are used for emotional communication, then communication functionality is provided, but the emotional connection and personalization are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by transmitting setting information (such as wallpaper images, ringtone settings, or other personalized configurations) from one portable device to another. Instead of directly sharing emotional content, the system copies settings that reflect the user's emotional state or preferences, enabling indirect emotional expression through replicated device configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces setting information as an intermediary element that mediates emotional communication between users. Rather than direct emotional exchange, the settings act as a carrier that conveys emotional intent from one user to another, allowing emotional expression through the modification and transmission of device configurations.
2Ease of operation
If users manually input settings for personalization, then personal expression is achieved, but the ease of operation and time efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables self-service by allowing a user's portable device to automatically transmit and apply settings to another user's device without requiring manual intervention from the recipient. The receiving device automatically receives and applies the transmitted setting information, eliminating the need for the recipient to manually configure each setting and significantly reducing the time required for personalization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the sender prepare and transmit setting information in advance. The settings are configured and sent before the recipient needs them, so that when the recipient receives the communication, the personalization is already prepared and can be applied immediately without requiring the recipient to spend time on configuration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If standard communication exchange is used for all users, then communication universality is maintained, but the ability to express individual emotions and create special connections is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves universality by utilizing existing portable device settings and configuration mechanisms that are already present in standard devices. By leveraging existing multi-functional capabilities of portable devices (such as wallpaper settings, ringtone configurations, display preferences), the system enables personalized emotional communication without requiring entirely new specialized hardware or protocols.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a possibility of communicating emotional information between a first and a second portable equipment. A first portable equipment for communication in a wireless communication system comprises an input portion adapted to receive information input by a user, an editing portion adapted to edit settings of a second portable equipment in response to a user input and to generate corresponding setting information, and a transmitting portion adapted to transmit setting information generated by the editing portion to the second portable equipment in said wireless communication system. A second portable equipment for communication in a wireless communication system comprises a receiving portion adapted to receive setting information from the first portable equipment in a wireless communication system, and a control portion adapted to change settings of the second portable equipment depending on received setting information and to output an indication signal to a user to the changed settings.
