Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Users of communication terminals do not utilize content provided through lock screens due to unintended exposure to random content, resulting in ineffective content transfer.

Innovation Solution

A method that registers user-interest content and displays relevant content upon terminal activation, including a user input interface for accessing additional content, with prioritization and reward mechanisms to enhance user engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If content is provided through lock screen, then content exposure opportunity is increased, but content relevance to user interest deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent exposureVSAvoidcontent relevance

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by registering user interest in specific content before the lock screen is displayed. When the terminal is activated, the lock screen content is determined based on this pre-registered user interest, ensuring that the content is both exposed and relevant to the user.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from user interaction with content during normal operation to determine what content to display on the lock screen. The terminal analyzes user behavior patterns and content preferences, then provides personalized content on the lock screen that reflects this feedback, improving both exposure and relevance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If random content is displayed on lock screen, then content variety is increased, but user engagement deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent varietyVSAvoiduser engagement

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by providing different lock screen content based on individual user preferences and interest patterns. Instead of uniform random content for all users, each user receives personalized content selection that maintains variety while ensuring relevance to their specific interests, thereby improving engagement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If lock screen content is personalized, then user engagement is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs self-service by automatically analyzing user behavior patterns and content preferences to determine lock screen content without requiring manual user configuration. The system autonomously registers user interest through interaction tracking and automatically selects personalized content, reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining engagement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Publication Date: 2022.11.15 FIRSTFACE

AI summary

A method for providing a content using the first screen of a portable communication terminal is provided. The method comprises the steps of: registering a first content as a content of interest; and providing a second content in the first screen displayed on a display unit when the communication terminal is switched from an inactive state to an active state. Here, the second content, which corresponds to a content related to the first content, is determined on the basis of the first content.
