Adaptive Audiovisual Mosaic Display for Multi-User Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face frustration when multiple audiovisual content options are available, as they often cannot simultaneously watch multiple programs that interest them, especially in group settings where individual preferences vary.
Innovation Solution
A method for displaying audiovisual content on a terminal that identifies user profiles, determines relevant content, constructs a mosaic with multiple windows, and adapts display based on preferences, allowing simultaneous viewing of multiple programs with compatible audio and video streams, using technologies like PIP and metadata analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple programs are displayed simultaneously using multiple display capabilities, then the user can follow several programs at the same time, but the device complexity increases due to the need for mosaic construction and compatibility analysis
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple independent windows or mosaic positions, each capable of displaying a different program. This segmentation allows simultaneous display of multiple programs while maintaining individual control over each window's content and layout, resolving the contradiction between multi-program capability and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-analyzes program compatibility and pre-constructs mosaic layouts before display, storing compatibility information for rapid retrieval. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex real-time analysis during viewing, reducing operational complexity while maintaining adaptability.
2Ease of operation
If the system automatically constructs a mosaic based on user preferences, then the user experience is enhanced, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
User preferences and program compatibility data are pre-processed and stored in databases before actual viewing sessions. When a user requests multi-program display, the system quickly retrieves pre-computed compatibility information and automatically constructs the mosaic without performing complex real-time analysis, thus enhancing ease of operation while minimizing processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors user interactions with the mosaic display and uses this feedback to refine future automatic constructions. By learning from user behavior patterns, the system progressively improves its automatic mosaic construction accuracy, reducing the need for extensive processing over time.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system monitors and adapts to program endings and new content, then the display remains relevant and engaging, but the continuous monitoring increases energy consumption
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous monitoring, the system employs periodic checks at predetermined intervals or at key events such as program endings. This periodic monitoring maintains display relevance and adaptability while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous real-time monitoring of all program content.

AI summary
The method involves identifying a user profile associated to a user from a set of stored user profiles, and determining audiovisual content interesting the user using the identified user profile. Compatibilities of simultaneous display of the audiovisual content interesting the user are analyzed. Mosaic of the audiovisual content is constructed with a set of windows (A-D), where one of the windows is a display window to display the audiovisual content interesting the user and having the simultaneous display compatibilities. The constructed mosaic is displayed. An independent claim is also included for a server for displaying audiovisual content on a display unit of a terminal.
