Voice Call Data Sharing via Integrated Session
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices cannot perform additional tasks during voice calls without running a separate application, making it inconvenient for users.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device and method for sharing data with a receiving-side device during a voice call connection, where data is transmitted through a data session formed based on voice call information, allowing for real-time sharing of content without the need for a separate application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a separate application is run to perform additional tasks during voice call, then the additional functions can be provided, but the device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to requiring multiple applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the data sharing function with the voice call application by integrating a data sharing module within the existing voice call software. This allows the voice call application to simultaneously provide both voice communication and data sharing capabilities, eliminating the need for separate applications and reducing device complexity while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The voice call application is enhanced to perform multiple functions including both voice communication and data sharing. The data sharing module enables the same application to handle different types of data (images, videos, files) during active voice calls, making the application universal and eliminating the need for separate dedicated applications
2Loss of information
If video call is used to share data, then data can be shared visually, but data transmission requirements and use of energy increase compared to voice call
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using full video call functionality for data sharing, the patent applies partial action by using only the audio channel and a separate data session for data transmission. This approach provides sufficient data sharing capability without the excessive energy consumption and data transmission requirements of complete video call functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the communication into two separate channels: a voice call channel for audio communication and a data session channel for data transmission. This segmentation allows each channel to be optimized independently, using minimal resources for its specific function while avoiding the high energy consumption of combined video-audio-data transmission
3Loss of information
If separate application is run for data sharing, then data sharing function is provided, but ease of operation deteriorates due to inconvenient switching between applications
Solution Approach 1:
The data sharing module is merged into the voice call application, allowing users to access data sharing functionality directly from the same interface where they initiate and manage voice calls. This integration eliminates the need to switch between applications, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining full data sharing functionality

AI summary
A method performed by a transmitting-side electronic device for sharing data with a receiving-side electronic device is provided. The method includes connecting a voice call with the receiving-side electronic device using a call application; and, in response to sharing request for first content from the receiving-side electronic device, receiving the first content while executing the voice call; displaying the first content on a screen of the call application; and, in response to identifying a selection of a first item on the first content, transmitting a first selected item to the receiving side electronic device; and receiving and displaying a first reflected content which the first selected item is reflected on the first content.
