Broadcast Apparatus User Identity Recognition and Parameter Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional broadcast apparatuses have complex operation interfaces that are not user-friendly, particularly due to the need for manual selection of functions and settings, which can be intimidating for users with limited technical skills, and existing remote control devices with memory functions offer limited flexibility and require users to memorize specific key combinations for simplified control.
Innovation Solution
A broadcast apparatus and method that uses a reception unit, control unit, storage unit, and broadcast unit to receive control signals, determine verification information and tags, and retrieve personalized broadcast parameters from a database to provide customized operations, allowing users to initiate actions with voice or touch commands and automatically adjust settings based on user identity and preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a broadcast apparatus provides various audio/video functions, then the functionality and versatility are improved, but the operation interface becomes complicated and intimidating to users
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies users and applies their personalized settings without requiring manual configuration. The broadcast apparatus serves itself by autonomously selecting appropriate parameters based on user identity, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex menus and make repeated settings adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The system stores and retrieves different sets of broadcast parameters (volume, subtitles, channel preferences, game settings, etc.) corresponding to different users. When a user is identified, the system automatically changes the operational parameters to match that user's preferences, providing personalized service without manual intervention.
2Ease of operation
If a remote control device with memory function is used to pre-record user-preferred functions, then the ease of operation is improved, but the flexibility and adaptability are limited due to standardized approaches
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts to changing user preferences and environmental settings. Unlike static pre-recorded hotkeys, the system can modify its behavior based on real-time conditions such as time of day, presence of multiple users, and changing user needs, allowing the same control signal to produce different appropriate responses based on current context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments control functionality by user identity, creating personalized parameter sets for different users. This allows each user to have customized settings while maintaining a simple control interface. The segmentation enables the system to provide tailored responses to the same user actions based on who is performing them.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users manually select functions from hierarchical menus, then the adaptability to personal requirements is improved, but the time required for operation and the complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary configuration by storing personalized broadcast parameters for each user in advance. When a user interacts with the apparatus, the system has already prepared the appropriate settings, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate through menus during operation. The configuration work is done beforehand and automatically applied.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by automatically adjusting settings based on user identity recognition. The loop of identifying the user, retrieving their preferences, and applying the appropriate parameters creates an automated feedback mechanism that eliminates manual menu navigation while maintaining personalized service.
