Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional multimedia playback apparatuses require users to manually adjust playback parameters and switch between playback modes, which is time-consuming and inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A playback mode switching method that uses a network artificial intelligence model to analyze frame images from multimedia content and determine whether to perform a mode switching operation based on predefined keyword data and index tables.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual playback parameter adjustment is provided, then playback quality can be optimized, but the operation process becomes time-consuming and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback parameter optimizationVSAvoidadjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic mode switching by analyzing frame images and comparing them against an index table of preset keywords and playback modes. The multimedia playback apparatus autonomously determines the appropriate playback mode without requiring manual user input, thereby optimizing playback parameters automatically while saving user time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-establishes an index table containing preset keyword data corresponding to different playback modes before actual playback occurs. This preliminary preparation enables rapid automatic mode switching during playback by simply comparing current frame images against the pre-defined index, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple playback modes are provided, then adaptability to different content types is improved, but the complexity of mode selection increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback mode adaptabilityVSAvoidmode switching complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically selects the appropriate playback mode by analyzing frame images and matching them against the index table, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate through multiple playback modes. This self-service approach maintains high adaptability to different content types while simplifying the user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The frame image analysis and keyword matching process acts as an intermediary between the user and the multiple playback modes. Instead of directly presenting users with complex mode selection options, the system uses automated image recognition and index table matching to bridge the gap between content and appropriate playback settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If automated mode switching is implemented, then operational convenience is improved, but the requirement for AI model integration increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemode switching convenienceVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses frame images as an intermediary that can be processed by AI models without requiring direct integration of complex AI infrastructure. By extracting and analyzing frame images against a pre-defined index table, the system achieves automated mode switching while managing AI integration complexity through a structured intermediate representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
