Wireless Terminal Character Agent for Event Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless terminals lack an effective method to express and manage call and message-related events in a user-friendly manner, particularly in terms of visual representation and user interaction.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that utilize a character agent function to analyze and express call and message-related events through a character user interface, including a memory for storing character UI images, an agent collection unit for generating event messages, an agent control unit for processing events, and an agent expression unit for outputting character and text feedback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional visual image data (photo data, character images, animations) are used to display user data in wireless terminals, then the display can show various types of information, but the terminal lacks an effective method to express and manage call and message-related events in a user-friendly manner
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an avatar as an intermediary element that mediates between the terminal's event processing system and the user. The avatar visually represents call and message events, transforming abstract event data into intuitive visual expressions. This resolves the contradiction by providing effective event expression without losing event information, as the avatar serves as a visual mediator that enhances user understanding of terminal events.
2Adaptability or versatility
If wireless terminals implement multiple supplementary functions (camera, TV, MP3, DMB), then the terminal can process various multimedia data, but the terminal lacks a specialized interface to analyze and express call and message events effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a specialized avatar-based interface specifically for call and message events, while maintaining other multimedia functions. The avatar is configured with event-specific capabilities (detecting call events, message events) and expresses them through dedicated visual patterns and animations. This resolves the contradiction by providing adaptability for multiple functions while ensuring ease of operation for event management through the specialized avatar interface.
3Loss of information
If the terminal displays various types of user data (photo data, character images, animations, avatar image data), then the display can represent different information types, but there is no systematic method to map specific events to appropriate character UI expressions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal event mapping system where the avatar serves multiple functions: detecting different event types (call events, message events), analyzing event characteristics, and expressing them through appropriate visual patterns. The same avatar entity handles multiple event categories by applying different visual expressions, eliminating the need for separate mapping systems for each event type. This resolves the contradiction by reducing device complexity while maintaining comprehensive event information representation.

AI summary
A character agent function is added to a wireless terminal and an avatar user interface (UI) for generating and processing an event is expressed when an event occurs in the wireless terminal, such that call and message-related events occurring in the wireless terminal can be expressed through the character agent function.
