Communication Terminal Stroke Data Name Association
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Communication systems struggle to display the name of a communication partner alongside stroke data when the partner's name is not managed by the communication terminal, limiting flexibility in location information display.
Innovation Solution
A communication terminal system that includes a receiving unit to receive stroke data, an obtaining unit to obtain name information associated with the transmission source from a management system, and a display control unit to synchronize and display the stroke data and name information, enabling flexible display of location names with stroke data even without pre-managed partner names.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If name information is obtained from a management system for first-time communication partners, then flexibility in displaying location information is improved, but device complexity increases due to integration with external management systems
Solution Approach 1:
A management system acts as an intermediary between communication terminals, storing and providing name information associated with terminal identification information. This external mediator enables first-time partners to have their names displayed without increasing the complexity of individual terminal devices.
2Ease of operation
If real-time name information is obtained and displayed with stroke data, then usability is improved, but loss of time occurs during network communication for retrieving name information
Solution Approach 1:
Name information is obtained from the management system in advance and stored locally in the terminal device before stroke data transmission. This preliminary action ensures that when stroke data is received, the corresponding name information is already available for immediate display without causing time loss.
3Speed
If name information is stored locally in the communication terminal, then speed of name retrieval is improved, but volume of stored information increases
Solution Approach 1:
Only essential identification information and associated name data are stored locally in the terminal device, while the complete management system remains external. This local quality approach stores only the minimum necessary information locally for fast retrieval, avoiding excessive storage volume while maintaining quick access to name information.

AI summary
A communication terminal for communicative connection to at least one other communication terminal via a network includes a receiving part configured to receive stroke data transmitted from the other communication terminal, an obtaining part configured to obtain name information that is associated with a transmission source of the stroke data under management by a management system on the network, and a display control part configured to perform control that displays an image based on the stroke data and an image based on the obtained name information in association with each other.
