Watch Object Interface for Mobile Terminal Schedule Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals lack user convenience in managing and accessing schedule information and applications due to complex interfaces and the need for manual input to navigate and execute tasks.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a display unit and controller that displays a watch object, allowing automatic execution of schedule information and applications based on time regions, enabling touch input or vibration/audio alerts for quick access and transmission of schedule data to external devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a watch object with multiple schedule information and applications is displayed on the display unit, then the quantity of information displayed is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to complex interface navigation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by automatically executing scheduled applications and displaying relevant information when the current time reaches the time corresponding to a touched region, eliminating the need for manual navigation and execution by the user
2Device complexity
If manual input is required to access schedule information and execute tasks, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service functionality where the watch object automatically executes scheduled applications and displays relevant information based on the current time without requiring manual user input for execution, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining manageable device complexity
3Adaptability or versatility
If schedule information transmission to external devices is enabled, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by enabling the watch object to perform multiple functions including display, automatic execution, and transmission of schedule information to external devices through the communication unit, thereby improving adaptability without significantly increasing device complexity

AI summary
Disclosed is a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a display unit and a controller configured to display a watch object on the display unit, the watch object including at least one of a plurality of schedule information or a plurality of applications. The controller is configured to, when a first region of the watch object is touched or when a current time reaches a time corresponding to the first region, display schedule information or a corresponding application screen related to the first region of the watch object or the time corresponding to the first region, and, when a second region of the watch object is touched or when a current time reaches a time corresponding to the second region, display schedule information or a corresponding application screen related to the second region of the watch object or the time corresponding to the second region. In this way, user convenience may be enhanced.
