Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices do not effectively store or utilize usage pattern information to guide users in executing specific functions or applications, requiring separate user manipulations and lacking personalized functionality based on user patterns.
Innovation Solution
A user terminal device that stores usage pattern information, including execution times and contexts, to provide guided inputs for executing desired functions or sub-functions, thereby simplifying user interaction by predicting and recommending actions based on historical data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional electronic devices store only execution information of a specific function, then the device structure remains simple, but the device cannot organically store execution information between multiple functions or applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments execution information into hierarchical levels: application-level information, function-level information, and sub-function-level information. This segmentation allows the device to store and manage complex usage patterns without overwhelming system complexity, enabling organic connections between multiple functions and applications while maintaining manageable data structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a temporal dimension to execution information storage by recording not just what functions are executed but when and in what sequence. This creates a multi-dimensional information structure that captures usage patterns over time, enabling the device to understand and predict user behavior without significantly increasing storage complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If only standardized functions are provided when a specific application is executed, then the system remains simple, but the device cannot provide or guide functions based on user usage patterns
Solution Approach 1:
The device performs self-learning by automatically analyzing its own execution information and usage patterns without requiring external programming. The system autonomously identifies frequently used function sequences and proactively provides guidance or executes functions based on learned patterns, enabling adaptive functionality while keeping the system architecture relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback loops where execution information is continuously collected, analyzed, and used to improve future function execution. The system monitors usage patterns and adjusts its behavior accordingly, providing guidance or automatically executing functions that align with observed user preferences, thereby enhancing adaptability through iterative learning.
3Ease of operation
If a user needs to perform separate manipulation for executing each function, then the control mechanism remains straightforward, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device performs preliminary actions by pre-loading or pre-positioning function execution based on learned usage patterns. When the device predicts that a user will likely execute a certain function sequence, it prepares the system in advance or provides guidance prompts, reducing the time and effort required for actual execution and improving operational convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically executes functions or provides guidance based on learned patterns without requiring explicit user commands for each action. By analyzing usage patterns, the device determines when to proactively execute functions or offer guidance, thereby reducing the number of manual operations users must perform and saving their time.
