Wireless Terminal Text Message Avatar Rendering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wireless terminals only display text messages in a simple format, lacking the ability to visually represent messages with character images, which limits their expressive capability.
Innovation Solution
The development of an apparatus and method that analyzes text messages for avatar display instruction words, allowing the wireless terminal to create, transmit, and display text messages with corresponding character images, including emoticons and emotional expressions, enabling visual representation of message content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional wireless terminal simply displays text messages, then the device complexity is low, but the visual expression capability is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses character images (avatars) as visual copies to represent text message content. Instead of directly displaying raw text, the system creates visual representations that copy the essence of the message content, enabling rich visual expression while keeping the underlying processing relatively simple
Solution Approach 2:
The wireless terminal is designed to handle multiple types of content (text, images, avatars) through a unified processing framework. The message processing unit can universally process different content types by analyzing whether they contain avatar display instruction words, making the device versatile without requiring separate specialized systems for each content type
2Adaptability or versatility
If the wireless terminal analyzes message content to determine avatar display, then the visual expression is enhanced, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the necessary information from messages - specifically searching for avatar display instruction words - rather than analyzing the entire message content in depth. This selective extraction approach enables visual enhancement while minimizing processing time by focusing only on key indicators
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal performs preliminary analysis by checking for the presence of avatar display instruction words before full message processing. This preliminary action allows the system to quickly determine whether visual enhancement is needed, reducing overall processing time by making early decisions about message handling
3Adaptability or versatility
If the wireless terminal displays only text messages, then the ease of operation is high, but the user experience is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The message processing unit automatically analyzes messages and determines whether to display avatars without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously deciding when visual enhancement is appropriate, maintaining ease of operation while improving expressive capability through automatic content-based decisions
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus and method are provided for transmitting a text message in a wireless terminal. The apparatus and method include displaying data input when creating a text message and analyzing the data in order to check whether the data are character display instruction words. Character image information corresponding to the character display instruction words is searched. The character image information is added to the display instruction words, and the display instruction words having the character image information are added to the text message. Character data are added to the text message if the data are general character data. The above steps are repeated and recipient information for the character text message is input when the character text message has been created. The created character text message is then transmitted.
