Portable Terminal Short Message Creation with Expected Word Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for creating short messages on portable terminals are inconvenient, as users have to input words one by one using a keypad or touch screen, which is time-consuming and prone to errors, especially for frequently used phrases and emoticons.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for a portable terminal that extracts frequently used words from a database and displays them for selection, allowing users to create short messages without manual input, using a storage unit, input expected word extracting unit, priority determining unit, and display unit to facilitate quick message creation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If users input words one by one through a keyboard to create short messages, then message content can be accurately entered, but the time and effort required for message creation increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically extracting and displaying frequently used words from the database before the user needs to input them. This allows users to select from pre-prepared word lists rather than typing each character, significantly reducing message creation time while maintaining input accuracy through selective confirmation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system serves itself by automatically generating and updating the frequently used word list based on user input patterns. The database extracts words that users type frequently and makes them readily available for selection, eliminating the need for manual dictionary compilation or user configuration, thus reducing message creation time without sacrificing accuracy.
2Ease of operation
If users manually type each character using a keypad or touch screen, then complete control over message content is achieved, but user convenience and operational ease deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The input method is segmented into two distinct modes: automatic word extraction/display for frequently used terms, and traditional keyboard input for less common words. This segmentation allows users to switch between convenience-oriented and precision-oriented input methods, improving overall ease of operation without adding significant complexity to the device architecture.
3Productivity
If frequently used phrases and emoticons are pre-stored in the database, then message creation speed can be improved, but the system complexity and data management burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The database system performs self-service by automatically analyzing user input patterns and identifying frequently used words, phrases, and emoticons. It dynamically updates the frequently used word list based on actual usage statistics, eliminating the need for manual database curation or complex data management protocols, thus improving productivity without proportionally increasing system complexity.

AI summary
A method for automatically creating a short message and a portable terminal using the same includes extracting at least one word expected to be input from a database provided in the portable terminal when a message creation menu is selected. At least one input expected word that has been extracted is then displayed. At least one word that is recognized is selected from among the displayed at least one input expected word; and inputting the selected word to a text message creation window. A user can create a short message without having to input words one-by-one through a keyboard.
