Communication Terminal Dual Storage for Log Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In communication systems, users face difficulties in managing counterpart terminal information, as existing technologies store all entered information as logs, leading to clutter and reduced user operability, especially when storing information for rarely used or security-sensitive counterparts.
Innovation Solution
A communication terminal is designed with first and second acceptance units for call requests, allowing users to choose whether to store counterpart information as log data, with the second unit temporarily storing information for security and usability purposes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If all entered counterpart information is stored as log data in memory, then communication convenience is improved, but memory clutter increases and user operability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the storage function into two separate units: a first memory for storing log data and a second memory for storing frequently used counterpart information. This segmentation allows the system to maintain both comprehensive logging and efficient access to frequent contacts without cluttering a single storage space.
Solution Approach 2:
Different storage locations are assigned different functions based on data characteristics: the first memory handles comprehensive logging with less frequent access, while the second memory handles frequently accessed counterpart information with optimized access patterns. This local differentiation optimizes overall system performance.
2Ease of operation
If counterpart information is stored permanently in memory, then communication convenience is improved, but security risks increase for sensitive information
Solution Approach 1:
The invention implements dynamic storage management where the second memory automatically stores counterpart information from the first memory based on usage frequency and security policies. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt storage behavior to both convenience and security requirements without static permanent storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The second memory acts as an intermediary between the first memory (comprehensive storage) and the user interface (frequent access). It filters and pre-loads frequently used contacts, reducing the security burden on permanent storage while maintaining access convenience.
3Loss of information
If all counterpart information is stored as logs, then communication history is preserved, but user focus on frequently used counterparts is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the storage function to separate comprehensive history (first memory) from frequently accessed contacts (second memory). This allows users to easily access frequently used counterparts through the second memory while preserving complete communication history in the first memory for reference.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically identifying and pre-loading frequently used counterpart information into the second memory based on usage patterns. This preliminary organization reduces user effort in accessing frequent contacts while maintaining complete history records.

AI summary
A communication terminal accepts a communication start request for starting communication with a counterpart terminal indicated by counterpart information, through one of a first acceptance unit and a second acceptance unit. The communication terminal stores the counterpart information of the counterpart terminal in a first memory as log data, when the communication start request is accepted through the first acceptance unit, and prevents the counterpart information of the counterpart terminal from being stored in the first memory as log data, when the communication start request is accepted through the second acceptance unit.
