Solution Overview

Problem

Current portable devices require users to download and install multiple home screens and sound sets, consuming network resources and reducing convenience due to the inability to preview or pre-listen to scene-sound effects before installation.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that allows users to preview scene-sound effects on a personal terminal device before downloading, enabling selection and automatic installation on a portable device, simplifying the process by transmitting operation commands and selection signals between devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users download and install multiple home screens and sound sets to meet different usage requirements, then the device provides diversified functions, but network resources are consumed and convenience is reduced due to inability to preview before installation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediversified functionsVSAvoidconvenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables preliminary preview of scene-sound effects before installation by transmitting operation commands from a personal terminal device to the portable device. Users can preview the actual scene-sound effects in advance, allowing informed selection without needing to download and install multiple sets beforehand.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A scene-sound set system acts as an intermediary between the user's personal terminal device and the portable device. This intermediary system manages the transmission of operation commands and selection signals, enabling remote preview and selection of scene-sound sets without direct manual installation on the portable device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Area of stationary object

If users manually select and download home screens and sound sets through limited screen space, then the device displays text narrations and snapshots, but users cannot preview option screens or pre-listen to sounds

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen spaceVSAvoidpreview capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions the preview capability from the limited 2D display of the portable device to a broader dimension by utilizing the personal terminal device for previewing operation commands. This allows users to access detailed previews of scene-sound effects without consuming screen space on the portable device itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Reliability

If users install scene-sound sets after downloading, then the actual scene-sound effect can be learned, but the process significantly consumes network resources and reduces convenience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactual scene-sound effectVSAvoidnetwork resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the preview function from the installation process itself. By separating the preview operation (performed on the personal terminal device) from the installation process (downloading and installing on the portable device), users can evaluate scene-sound effects without being forced to download and install them first, thereby reducing unnecessary network resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A scene-sound set operating method adapted to a portable device is provided. According to the method, the portable device receives an operation command from a scene-sound set system that provides a plurality of scene-sound sets; and a personal terminal device and the portable device simultaneously log in the scene-sound set system and correspond to each other in the scene-sound set system. The scene-sound set system transmits the operation command to the portable device according to a selection signal which is transmitted from the personal terminal device. The selection signal indicates selection of at least one of the scene-sound sets. According to the operation command, the portable device automatically downloads the selected scene-sound set from the scene-sound set system. The downloaded scene-sound set is installed in the portable device.
