Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication terminals do not effectively determine whether an application's operation is continued after communication is resumed following an interruption, particularly in voice recognition scenarios where voice data is being processed.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication terminal and operating system that utilize voice recognition processing to determine if an application's operation should be continued after communication recovery, with the server holding or deleting processing results based on the determination, allowing for seamless continuation or restart of voice-based operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the terminal automatically emits a calling signal after communication is recovered, then the communication can be resumed, but the operation status of applications cannot be properly determined

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication recoveryVSAvoidapplication operation determination
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the communication recovery process into two independent determination steps: first determining whether communication should be resumed, and second determining whether application operations should be continued. This segmentation allows each determination to be handled independently according to its own criteria, resolving the contradiction between reliable communication recovery and proper application operation determination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal performs preliminary determination of application operation status before executing communication recovery. By预先 determining whether the application operation should be continued based on the interruption duration and application type, the system ensures that communication is recovered with the correct operational context, preventing inappropriate operation continuation or restart.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If voice recognition processing is performed at the server side, then voice-based applications can be operated, but the operation continuation after communication interruption cannot be determined

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice-based application operationVSAvoidoperation status information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal determines the operation status (continuation or restart) and communicates this determination back to the server. The server then uses this feedback information to appropriately handle the voice recognition processing - either continuing the previous operation or starting a new one, thus preventing loss of operation status information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Before the server performs voice recognition processing after communication recovery, the terminal performs preliminary determination of the operation status and communicates this to the server in advance. This preliminary action ensures that the server has the correct operational context before processing voice data, preventing loss of operation status information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If the terminal determines operation continuation uniformly, then the system is simple, but different applications cannot have different operation behaviors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetermination systemVSAvoidapplication-specific operation behavior
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the operation determination behavior based on the specific application type and communication interruption duration. Rather than using a fixed uniform determination rule, the system adapts its determination criteria according to the application characteristics (e.g., voice recognition applications versus other applications), achieving both simplicity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different determination criteria to different application types. Specifically, for voice recognition applications, the system uses one set of determination rules (considering server-side processing), while for other applications, it uses different rules. This local differentiation allows each application type to have appropriate operation behavior without requiring a completely complex unified system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

There are provided a wireless communication terminal and an operation system that determines in accordance with an application whether an operation of the application before interruption of communication is continued after recovery of the communication. A wireless communication terminal 20 has input means 25, 27 for inputting an operation content for operating an application, communication means 28 for transmitting the operation content input from the input means 25, 27 to a server 10, and receiving a server processing result as a result of predetermined processing executed by the server 10, and control means 23 for determining in accordance with the application as an operation target based on the operation content whether the operation based on the operation content input before interruption of the communication is continued after the communication with the server 10 is recovered, when the communication with the server is interrupted after the operation content is input from the input means 25, 27 and before a server processing result corresponding to the operation content is received from the server 10.
