Solution Overview

Problem

Current smartphone call initiation processes are complex and consume excessive power due to prolonged background recording, especially when the device is in a screen-off state, requiring multiple button presses and prolonged microphone usage.

Innovation Solution

A method that acquires event trigger information to initiate application services quickly, allowing voice instructions to start the dial-up application only after meeting a preset condition, thereby reducing background recording time and power consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a voice application is used in screen-off state with background recording, then quick call initiation is enabled, but power consumption increases due to prolonged microphone usage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecall initiation speedVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-loading the dial-up application and preparing the interface in advance when triggered by a specific gesture (e.g., double-clicking the home button). This allows the application to be ready for immediate voice input without requiring prolonged background recording, thus reducing power consumption while maintaining quick call initiation capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of continuous background recording, the system uses periodic action by activating the microphone and recording function only when a specific trigger condition is met (e.g., detecting the double-click gesture). This on-demand activation significantly reduces power consumption while still enabling quick response to user needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Use of energy by moving object

If the smartphone remains in standby state to save battery, then power consumption is reduced, but call initiation requires more button presses and takes longer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery lifeVSAvoidcall initiation steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses preliminary action by pre-preparing the dial-up application and interface in the background during standby state, so that when triggered by a specific gesture, the application can launch immediately without requiring multiple button presses or full screen activation, thus maintaining both battery efficiency and quick operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary trigger mechanism (specific gesture recognition) that acts as a mediator between the standby state and full application activation. This intermediary allows the system to transition quickly from low-power standby to active call initiation without requiring multiple steps or full screen wake-up, balancing battery life and operational efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method for quickly starting an application service, and a terminal. The method includes acquiring, by a terminal, event trigger information; starting, by the terminal, the application service software after determining that the event trigger information meets a preset quick startup condition; and acquiring, by the terminal, a voice instruction input by a user, and running the application service software according to the voice instruction. According to the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, application service software is started by using event trigger information, so that a background of a terminal starts to perform recording only after the application service software is started, and background recording is stopped after the terminal provides an application service for a user, preventing a recording device in the background of the terminal from being always in a recording state, and further reducing power consumption of the terminal.
