Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for searching and obtaining information about media items during viewing are inefficient and do not leverage artificial intelligence to provide dynamic and relevant information in real-time.

Innovation Solution

Implementing artificial intelligence systems that detect and analyze media content in real-time, generating and providing media information such as actor information, related content, and additional media items directly to users during viewing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional search methods are used to obtain media information, then users can find information about media items, but the search process is inefficient and requires manual intervention using separate devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retrieval efficiencyVSAvoidmanual search operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the media playback function and the information search function into a single integrated system. The media player automatically detects media items being presented and generates related information without requiring users to switch to separate devices like smartphones, thereby merging two previously separate operations into one unified process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs information retrieval automatically without requiring manual user intervention. The media player detects media items and generates related information autonomously, eliminating the need for users to manually search using separate devices and significantly improving information retrieval efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of time

If real-time media information generation is implemented, then users receive timely and relevant information during viewing, but the system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery timingVSAvoidAI processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis and generation of media information in advance, preparing content metadata and related information before the user needs it. This allows the system to quickly deliver relevant information during playback without requiring complex real-time processing during the actual viewing experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary AI processing layer that sits between the media player and the information display. This intermediary automatically detects media items, generates related information, and presents it to users, thereby managing system complexity while enabling real-time information delivery without requiring direct complex processing at every component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If AI systems analyze media content in real-time, then dynamic and relevant information is provided to users, but the energy consumption and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelevance of media informationVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The AI system focuses its analysis on specific local aspects of the media content that are most relevant to user information needs, such as detecting particular media items and generating targeted related information rather than analyzing entire media streams comprehensively. This selective local analysis reduces computational energy consumption while maintaining information relevance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Implementations generally relate to dynamic artificial intelligence searching and display. In some implementations, a method includes detecting that a media item is being presented on a media device. The method further includes generating media information associated with the media item while the media item is being presented on the media device. The method further includes providing the media information to a user of the media device.
