Text Message Display Method for Wearable Devices with Limited Memory
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Devices with limited memory space, such as smart watches, face challenges in displaying Chinese or Asian characters due to the large memory requirements of pre-built word libraries, making it difficult to display text messages completely.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that separates the generation and display of text message content, where a first electronic device with more memory resources generates word patterns and corresponding character codes, which are then transmitted to and displayed on a second electronic device with limited memory, allowing only the display of the text message content without the need for a comprehensive word library on the receiving device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a comprehensive word library is built into the device to display Chinese or Asian characters, then the display capability is improved, but the memory space requirement increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the word library functionality into two separate components: a comprehensive word library stored in the first electronic device (server/cloud) and a minimal display engine in the second electronic device (wearable device). This segmentation allows the wearable device to display Chinese/Asian characters without storing the complete word library locally, thus reducing memory requirements while maintaining display capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server or cloud-based first electronic device as an intermediary that stores the comprehensive word library and provides character code to word pattern mappings to the wearable device. This intermediary enables the wearable device to access complete character support without having to store the entire word library, resolving the contradiction between display capability and memory constraints.
2Reliability
If the word library is stored locally in the device, then the display completeness is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the comprehensive word library from the wearable device and relocates it to a separate first electronic device or server. The wearable device retains only the essential display functionality and a minimal local cache, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining display completeness through cloud-based word pattern retrieval.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a preliminary action by pre-loading frequently used word patterns into a local cache in the wearable device. This allows common characters to be displayed immediately without real-time network access, while still maintaining overall display completeness by falling back to cloud-based retrieval for less common characters.

AI summary
A text information displaying method for displaying a message received or generated by a first electronic device on a display of a second electronic device. The text information displaying method includes the steps of: receiving a request of displaying the message; generating a word string according to the request, wherein the word string includes at least one word pattern and at least one character code correspondingly representing the at least one word pattern; transmitting the word pattern and the character code from the first electronic device to the second electronic device; and receiving the at least one word pattern and the at least one character code, and displaying the at least one word pattern corresponding to the message received or generated by the first electronic device on the display according to the character code.
