Communication Terminal Device Image Registration
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile phones require complex operations to register images in the address book, necessitating the activation of both camera and address book functions, increasing the number of operating steps.
Innovation Solution
A communication terminal device with a camera, memory, input, and control portions that allow for simple image registration by correlating images with address book information, enabling image storage alongside corresponding data without separate activation of functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the camera and address book functions are activated separately to register an image, then the image can be registered in the address book, but the number of operating steps increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the camera function and address book function into an integrated operation. When the user inputs a phone number, the system automatically extracts corresponding address book information and allows direct image capture and association without requiring separate activation of camera and address book modes. This merging of functions reduces the number of operating steps while ensuring complete image registration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary extraction of address book information based on the input phone number before the user captures the image. By pre-loading the relevant address book data and preparing the registration interface in advance, the system eliminates the need for users to navigate through multiple function modes, thereby reducing operating steps while maintaining registration completeness.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate functions are activated for camera and address book, then each function can operate independently, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal interface that handles both camera operation and address book management through a single integrated workflow. The system can respond to different user inputs (phone number input, image capture, address book query) through one unified operation mode, reducing the apparent device complexity while maintaining the underlying independence and adaptability of individual functions.
3Measurement precision
If manual selection of address book information is required, then precise matching can be achieved, but the registration process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts and identifies the corresponding address book information based on the input phone number without requiring manual selection by the user. The extraction portion autonomously queries the address book using the provided phone number and retrieves the matching contact information, thereby maintaining precise matching accuracy while simplifying the registration process to just inputting the phone number and capturing the image.

AI summary
[Object]To provide a communication terminal device capable of performing an image registration correlating with address book information with an easy operation.[Constitution]A mobile phone includes: a camera module 24 for shooting a subject; a memory 105 for storing address book information including telephone numbers; a numeric key portion 11 for an input; and a CPU 100 for extracting the address book information relating to information input by the numeric key portion 11 from the memory 105 and for storing an image shot by the camera module 24 by correlating the image with the address book information in the memory 105 at the same time. When the subject is shot by the camera module 24 after the information is input by the numeric key portion 11, the CPU 100 correlates the image with the extracted address book information and stores them in the memory 105.
