Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mobile communication terminals and accessories do not interoperate effectively, limiting users' ability to conveniently customize the interior and exterior of their devices to express their personality.

Innovation Solution

A mobile communication terminal customizing platform that allows users to select and print desired image contents onto a case, which is then matched with identification information for internal display customization, enabling comprehensive terminal personalization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional accessories are provided in various forms to express personality, then user personality expression is improved, but the accessories are limited to transforming only a part of the terminal rather than the entire terminal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonality expression capabilityVSAvoidterminal customization scope
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the case (exterior accessory) and terminal contents (interior software) into a single integrated customization unit. When a user selects customization content, the system simultaneously prints the content on the case and applies it to the terminal's display, creating a unified customization experience that transforms both exterior and interior together rather than separately

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional mobile communication terminals and accessories are separately implemented, then device manufacturing is simplified, but interoperability between terminals and accessories is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice production simplicityVSAvoidterminal-accessory interoperability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a customization content database and control unit as intermediaries between the terminal and accessories. The database stores customization content that can be simultaneously applied to both the terminal display and case printing, while the control unit coordinates the synchronized delivery of customization content to multiple components, enabling seamless interoperability without complicating individual device manufacturing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If accessories are designed to transform a part of the terminal, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but the overall terminal customization is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessory design simplicityVSAvoidoverall terminal personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the customization system universal by enabling a single customization content selection to simultaneously affect multiple terminal components - both the case (exterior) and the display contents (interior). This multi-functional approach allows one customization action to transform the entire terminal comprehensively rather than just a partial component

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Provided is a mobile communication terminal customizing platform and a service method thereof. The mobile communication terminal customizing platform according to an embodiment of the present inventive concept includes: a contents registration unit for registering contents to be provided to a user terminal; a customization processing unit for receiving contents selection data from the user terminal, requesting a manufacturer server to print an image of the received contents selection data on a case corresponding to the user terminal, storing case data by matching identification information to be embedded in the printed case and selected contents data, and guiding whether or not to distribute the printed case to the user terminal; and a contents providing unit for receiving a request for contents from the user terminal equipped with the case, recognizing the identification information embedded in the case, searching for contents data corresponding to the recognized identification information, and providing the searched contents to the user terminal.
