Solution Overview

Problem

User interfaces for accessing and managing files in mobile radio networks are limited in terms of formats and options for message services, restricting user interaction and functionality.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that converts and caches file content into formats usable by mobile radio network terminals, allowing for indexing and transmission via a graphical user interface, simplifying operations by enabling selection and activation of fields for content acquisition, conversion, and transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If user interfaces are designed for accessing files in mobile radio networks, then accessibility to network files is improved, but the available formats and options for message services are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility to network filesVSAvoidavailable formats and options for message services
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary conversion of file contents into mobile network message formats (SMS, MMS, email) before transmission. This advance preparation allows the file content to be readily available in compatible formats, resolving the contradiction between ease of access and format versatility by preparing multiple format options in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the format parameter of file contents by converting them into different message service formats suitable for mobile networks. This parameter transformation enables the same file content to be delivered through multiple message service channels, thereby increasing adaptability while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If file contents are converted into mobile network message formats, then format compatibility is improved, but additional processing steps are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveformat compatibilityVSAvoidprocessing steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges the conversion process with the existing file access and transmission functionality. By integrating format conversion into the existing workflow, the system achieves format compatibility without significantly increasing perceived device complexity, as the conversion happens automatically as part of the unified process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service conversion by automatically detecting the desired message service format and converting file contents accordingly without requiring manual intervention from the user. This automation reduces the perceived complexity for the user while maintaining comprehensive format compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If selectable fields are generated for activating file calls, then user control is improved, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser controlVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the file access process into distinct selectable fields, each representing a specific message service format or transmission option. This segmentation provides users with clear, discrete control options while organizing the interface complexity into manageable, labeled segments that are easy to understand and select.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The method involves detecting the contents (18,19) by the user interface (8) of callable data-sets. A part of the detected content is converted into a format which is usable by terminals operable in mobile radio networks. The user interface creates selectable fields for the activation of the call, by an input unit of the computer. The fields are reproduced on the part of the graphic user interface (1) of the user interface. The user interface accesses a data-set available on the part of a Internetusing an Uniform resource locator. An INDEPENENT CLAIM is also included for the user interface with graphic user surface for accessing a data-set available on the part of a internet using an uniform resource locator.
