Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication technologies do not effectively integrate visual and audio information during voice calls, limiting the ability to send and receive information in a more engaging and interactive manner.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for enhancing communication services in wireless communication systems by initiating and managing communication, including providing first information (audio) and second information (visual) associated with the communication, where the second information is presented in a different mode, such as text or images, potentially from a server or another device, to enhance user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only audio information is provided during voice calls, then the communication system remains simple, but user engagement and information exchange effectiveness are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines audio communication with visual information display by integrating a display module that shows text, images, or videos alongside voice calls. The communication module receives audio data while the display module simultaneously presents visual content related to the communication, creating a multi-sensory communication experience that enhances user engagement without requiring completely separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device is designed with multi-functional capabilities where the same communication module handles both audio transmission and coordination of visual content display. The display module can show various types of information (text messages, contact information, images) during different communication modes, making the system versatile across multiple communication scenarios without adding dedicated hardware for each function.
2Loss of information
If visual information is added to voice calls, then information exchange effectiveness improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges audio and visual information channels into a unified communication interface. The communication module coordinates with the display module to present complementary visual information (such as text transcripts, sender identification, or related images) alongside audio content, ensuring that visual and audio streams work together to reduce information loss and enhance comprehension.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication module acts as an intermediary that coordinates between the audio processing functions and the visual display functions. It manages the synchronization and coordination of visual content with audio content, ensuring that visual information is displayed at appropriate times and in appropriate contexts, thereby reducing the complexity burden on individual modules.
3Productivity
If multiple information modes are provided simultaneously, then communication effectiveness improves, but ease of operation may deteriorate due to information overload
Solution Approach 1:
The display module provides different types of visual information in different display areas or contexts based on what is most relevant at each moment. For example, contact information may be displayed in one area while the main communication content appears in another, or visual cues are selectively presented based on the communication stage, allowing users to process information in manageable portions rather than all at once.
Solution Approach 2:
The system selectively provides visual information based on communication needs rather than displaying all possible information continuously. Visual content is presented partially or intermittently - such as showing text transcripts only when speech recognition is active, or displaying contact information only during call setup - thereby maintaining communication effectiveness while avoiding constant information overload that would complicate the user interface.

AI summary
A method, an apparatus, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method includes initiating communication at an electronic device, providing first information associated with the communication, and providing second information associated with the communication, the second information being provided in a mode that is different from a mode in which the first information is provided.
