Electronic Identification Card Transfer During Real-Time Voice Calls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multi-use wireless devices cannot transmit voice and data simultaneously, requiring one function to be suspended for the other, and lack a convenient method for exchanging business information during real-time communications, such as presenting business cards.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for creating and transferring an electronic identification card, or 'v-card,' during real-time communications, allowing users to enter and send personal information via various devices, including traditional phones, PDAs, and computers, using data entry methods like DTMF or speech recognition, enabling seamless exchange of contact information during ongoing communications sessions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice transmission is performed on a wireless channel, then real-time communication is enabled, but data transmission capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless communication channel is segmented into time slots, allowing voice and data transmissions to occur at different times without interfering with each other. The system alternates between voice communication mode and data transmission mode, enabling both functions to coexist on the same channel without requiring simultaneous operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The wireless device dynamically switches between voice transmission mode and data transmission mode based on real-time communication needs. The system can transition from voice-only mode to voice-plus-data mode when appropriate, providing flexible adaptation to varying communication requirements while maintaining real-time interaction.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data transmission is performed during a voice call, then file exchange is enabled, but voice communication must be suspended
Solution Approach 1:
The communication session is segmented into distinct time intervals, allowing the system to switch between voice transmission and data file transfer. During voice segments, real-time conversation continues uninterrupted, while data segments enable file exchange without requiring the user to manually suspend the voice call.
Solution Approach 2:
The voice communication maintains continuous operation by inserting data transmission segments between voice segments. This allows file exchange to occur without interrupting the overall conversation flow, as the voice communication resumes immediately after the data transmission segment completes.
3Productivity
If business card information is exchanged verbally, then contact information can be shared, but manual data entry and extra steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of manually typing contact information, the system creates an electronic copy of the business card information and transmits it automatically during the communication session. The recipient receives a digital business card that contains all relevant contact details, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing the time required to establish new contacts.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically handles the business card exchange process by detecting when a communication session begins and initiating the transfer of contact information without requiring user intervention. The electronic business card is sent automatically, and the recipient can save the information directly to their contact list, making the process self-service oriented and time-efficient.
