Electronic Device ACR Content Recognition via Mobile Messenger
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image display devices struggle to recognize and provide uncompressed audio-visual content and associated enhanced services to users without interrupting the main content viewing experience, especially when controlling enhanced services through remote controllers, which are limited in input capabilities and often require inconvenient text input.
Innovation Solution
An operating method for an electronic device that utilizes an automatic contents recognition (ACR) function to acquire and output uncompressed audio-visual content and enhanced services, allowing control through a mobile messenger application, enabling third-party servers to provide services independent of broadcasting stations or content providers, and allowing for bandwidth-exceeding services without network latency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If enhanced service data is controlled through a remote controller, then the image display device can receive specific input, but the remote controller has limitation in providing the specific input and requires inconvenient text input
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mobile terminal as an intermediary device between the user and the image display device. The mobile terminal's messaging application serves as a mediator that can provide enhanced service control capabilities beyond what the remote controller offers, eliminating the need for inconvenient text input while maintaining ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The messaging application on the mobile terminal is designed to perform multiple functions including not only messaging but also enhanced service control, content recognition, and interaction with the image display device. This multi-functionality allows a single device to replace multiple specialized controls
2Adaptability or versatility
If a user interface for enhanced service data is displayed on the image display device, then the user can access enhanced services, but the user may be interrupted when viewing the main content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves the enhanced service interface from the two-dimensional display screen to the mobile terminal device, creating a separate interaction dimension. This allows the main content to continue playing on the image display device without interruption while the user interacts with enhanced services on their mobile device
3Adaptability or versatility
If third-party servers provide enhanced services independent of broadcasting stations, then services can exceed bandwidth limits, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the enhanced service provision system into independent third-party servers that operate separately from the broadcasting station infrastructure. This segmentation allows services to be provided through alternative channels that are not constrained by broadcast bandwidth limits, while the modular architecture manages system complexity
