Touch Interface for Intuitive Communication in Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication methods using electronic devices require users to perform separate processes for verbal and written language-based communications, making quick communication difficult.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device and operation method that support an intuitive and prompt interface for communication using non-verbal elements, such as touch events, to facilitate quick and intuitive communication between users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users use traditional verbal or written language-based communication processes, then communication can be executed with established protocols, but the communication process becomes complex and time-consuming due to separate processes needed for call generation and message writing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple communication functions (call generation, message composition, data selection) into a single touch-based interface. When a user touches a contact item, the system automatically generates both verbal and written communication elements simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate processes for call generation and message writing that existed in traditional systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The touch-based interface serves multiple communication functions simultaneously - it can initiate calls, send messages, and transmit data all through the same interaction mechanism. This universal interface replaces the need for separate specialized processes for different communication modes, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining ease of operation.
2Productivity
If users perform separate processes for call generation and message writing, then communication protocols can be maintained, but communication speed decreases due to sequential operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures communication templates and data selections that are automatically applied when a user initiates communication through a touch interface. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for users to perform sequential operations of calling and then writing messages, allowing both actions to occur simultaneously and reducing communication time.
Solution Approach 2:
The touch-based communication system maintains continuous processing where call generation and message composition occur simultaneously rather than sequentially. The system continuously prepares and transmits both verbal and written elements in parallel, ensuring that the useful communication action never pauses between steps, thereby maximizing communication speed.
3Ease of operation
If traditional communication processes are used, then system stability can be maintained, but user convenience deteriorates due to difficulty in executing quick communication
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates calls and composes messages without requiring users to manually execute separate procedures. The touch interface triggers automatic system responses that self-manage the communication process, making quick communication easy while maintaining reliability through automated error prevention and protocol adherence.

AI summary
An electronic device and a method are provided. The electronic device includes a communication module, a touch screen display, a processor electrically connected with the communication module and the touch screen display, and a memory electrically connected with the processor. The memory is configured to stores an application program configured to transmit and receive data to/from an external electronic device using the communication module, and instructions to enable the processor to display a user interface of the application program in the touch screen display when the application program is executed. The user interface includes a first area that displays at least one of an image and text that is associated with a user who is related to the external electronic device, and a second area that displays data that is shared with the external electronic device, and the first area overlaps at least a part of the second area.
