Information Terminal Application Modes for Intuitive Cooperative Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies do not adequately address the control of operation modes for applications that operate solely or in cooperation between multiple information terminal devices, lacking intuitive and convenient mode switching.
Innovation Solution
An information terminal device is configured to activate applications in solo or cooperative operation modes based on the form of activation instructions, such as icon selection, number of clicks, or alignment with cooperation targets, facilitating intuitive mode selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the application provides both solo operation mode and cooperative operation mode with manual switching, then the application can support multiple operation scenarios, but the operation complexity and user burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines and switches between solo operation mode and cooperative operation mode based on the operational state of other terminal devices, without requiring manual user intervention. The terminal device monitors whether other devices are in idle or occupied states and autonomously selects the appropriate operation mode, making the system self-regulating and eliminating complex manual mode switching for users.
2Ease of operation
If the application automatically switches operation modes based on device state, then the ease of operation improves, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device continuously monitors the operational state of other terminal devices and uses this feedback information to automatically determine the appropriate operation mode. The system establishes a feedback loop where the state of other devices is detected, processed, and used to trigger automatic mode switching, creating a responsive and adaptive control system that manages complexity through intelligent automation.

AI summary
An object is to provide an information terminal device that improves convenience of use in operation mode control of an application that performs cooperative operation with a plurality of information terminal devices, and an application operation mode control method of same. Accordingly, an information terminal device that executes applications is configured to activate an application by selecting between a solo operation mode and a cooperative operation mode, depending on a form of activation instruction for the application.
