Mobile Terminal Location Extraction and Guide Screen Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of mobile terminals face inconvenience in setting destination points due to the need to manually search and input correct addresses, especially when large amounts of information are involved, leading to difficulties in finding and inputting the right data.
Innovation Solution
A terminal with an information extraction unit that extracts location information, a display unit for graphic images, and a controller to output a guide screen for navigating to the selected destination point, allowing users to easily set destinations using extracted location information without separate address input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually search and input destination addresses, then accurate destination setting is achieved, but operation time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores location information from multiple sources (SNS services, call logs, SMS messages, emails) and prepares it for quick retrieval. The information extraction unit automatically collects and organizes destination data in advance, so when a user wants to set a destination, the data is already ready and can be quickly selected without manual searching or input.
2Measurement precision
If users manually search and input destination addresses, then accurate destination setting is achieved, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts location information from various data sources (SNS check-ins, call logs, SMS messages, email attachments) without requiring user intervention. The information extraction unit autonomously identifies and retrieves destination data, and the display unit presents these extracted locations for selection, eliminating the need for users to manually search or input addresses.
Solution Approach 2:
The system integrates multiple information sources (social network services, call logs, SMS messages, emails) into a single destination setting mechanism. The information extraction unit can handle various types of data from different sources and extract location information uniformly, providing a universal solution that works across multiple communication platforms and data types.
3Ease of operation
If location information is extracted from multiple sources, then destination setting convenience is improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information extraction unit is divided into specialized sub-components, each responsible for extracting location information from a specific data source (SNS service module, call log module, SMS message module, email module). This segmentation allows each component to handle its specific data type efficiently, and the results are then integrated by the display unit, which presents all extracted locations in a unified interface for user selection.

AI summary
Provided is a terminal including: an information extraction unit that extracts location information which is designated as a destination point; a display unit to which a graphic image for receiving a control command for displaying a source of the location information, and the extracted location information are output together; and a controller that controls the display unit in such a manner that a guide screen for guiding a path to the destination point that is selected by a user from among the pieces of location information.
