Electronic Device Video Ringtone Switching Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile phone terminals only play a standard ringtone for incoming calls, leading to a repetitive user experience with no freshness, resulting in poor user experience due to the lack of variation in alerting methods.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device method that displays a video on the screen for incoming calls, allowing users to select different videos each time, which can be locally stored or retrieved in real-time from a network, enabling automatic switching between videos for consecutive calls and customizable settings based on user preferences and SIM card configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a standard ringtone is played for incoming calls, then the device structure remains simple, but the user experience becomes repetitive and poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the ringtone selection changeable and adaptable. The system dynamically switches between different ringtone types (video, image, audio) based on user selection and call scenario, transforming the static ringtone assignment into a dynamic, flexible system that enhances user experience without fundamentally complicating the device architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of the ringtone presentation by introducing multiple ringtone types (video ringtone, image ringtone, audio ringtone) and allowing parameter adjustments in the ringtone management interface. This enables users to select different presentation modes while the system manages the complexity through standardized parameter handling
2Ease of operation
If multiple ringtone types are introduced to improve user experience, then user experience becomes more varied and engaging, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a multi-functional ringtone management system that handles video, image, and audio ringtones through a unified interface and management mechanism. The ringtone management interface can manage multiple types of ringtones simultaneously, and the system automatically selects appropriate ringtones based on call scenarios, reducing the perceived complexity for users while providing diverse functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies self-service by automatically selecting and playing appropriate ringtones based on user preferences and call scenarios without requiring manual intervention. The ringtone management interface allows users to set their preferences once, and the system autonomously manages the complexity of selecting from multiple ringtone types, thereby improving user experience while containing system complexity
3Loss of information
If videos are retrieved in real-time from the network for each incoming call, then video content freshness is improved, but the network bandwidth consumption and call establishment time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-fetching and caching video ringtone content from the network before it is actually needed for an incoming call. The system retrieves video content in advance when the device is connected to the network, storing it locally so that when an incoming call occurs, the video can be immediately played without causing call establishment delays, thus maintaining content freshness while minimizing time loss
Data Source
AI summary
A method includes receiving a first incoming call request, displaying a first incoming call display interface on the screen based on the first incoming call request, playing a first video in the first incoming call display interface, receiving a second incoming call request, displaying a second incoming call display interface on the screen based on the second incoming call request, and playing a second video in the second incoming call display interface, where the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two call requests consecutively received by the electronic device, and the first video is different from the second video.
