Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mobile terminals cannot share specific information such as text or music during voice or video calls and cannot execute specific functions during call modes.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal equipped with a microphone for voice command recognition and a display for automatically displaying and executing menus corresponding to detected voice commands, allowing for voice-controlled menu navigation and information sharing during calls.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice call mode is used for communication, then communication convenience is improved, but information sharing capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication convenienceVSAvoidinformation sharing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal enables the voice call mode to perform multiple functions by integrating information sharing capabilities (text, image, music) alongside traditional voice communication, allowing the same communication mode to serve both purposes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If conventional call mode is used, then communication function is maintained, but execution of specific functions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication functionVSAvoidexecution of specific functions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the functionality available during calls by detecting voice commands and automatically displaying or executing corresponding menus, allowing the terminal to transition between different functional states based on real-time user needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If manual menu navigation is used during calls, then function execution is possible, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction execution capabilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects voice commands during calls and self-initiates the display or execution of corresponding menus without requiring manual navigation, making the system perform the complex task of menu management autonomously based on voice input

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Disclosed is a method for automatically displaying a menu relating to a specific function by recognizing a user's voice command in a call mode, and for directly executing the menu, and a mobile terminal having the same. A mobile terminal may include a microphone configured to receive a user's voice in a video call mode, a display for displaying information, and a controller configured to recognize the voice, detect a voice command included in the voice, and automatically display a menu corresponding to the detected voice command on the display.
