Sender-Controlled Contact Media for Mobile Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile devices lack advanced methods for managing and customizing contact interactions, requiring significant user effort to play personalized content like ringtones and videos, which often go stale without regular updates.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses a computer-to-computer interface and natural language processing to match hash tags with messages, allowing users to create and send sender-controlled contact media content that can be displayed on recipient devices during contact events, using both voice and data layers for transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users manually manage and update contact content (ring tones, videos), then personalization is achieved, but user effort increases and content becomes stale without regular updates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages contact content by having the sending device autonomously update the recipient device with new ring tones, videos, and other media without requiring manual user intervention. The recipient device receives and implements these updates automatically, enabling self-service content management that maintains personalization while eliminating ongoing user effort.
Solution Approach 2:
The sending device pre-selects and prepares contact content (ring tones, videos, images) in advance, then transmits them to the recipient device before they are needed. This preliminary action ensures that personalized content is already available and updated on the recipient device, eliminating the need for manual updates and ensuring fresh content is ready when contact events occur.
2Adaptability or versatility
If senders can control and update content on recipient devices, then personalization and engagement improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a content management intermediary layer that handles the complexity of content transmission, storage, and playback coordination between sending and recipient devices. This intermediary mechanism manages the automated updates and content synchronization, enabling sender control and personalization while abstracting away the underlying system complexity from the users.

AI summary
Automated dialing of an entity from a curated list of entities responsive to user selections of dial pad entries, the curated list of entities formed from phrases formed from the dial pad entries. The curated list of entities is based on at least one of user call activity, search engine activity responsive to the phrases, a set of Sender Controlled Media participants, a set of categories of contacts, and entity offerings.
