Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current data broadcasting systems lack applications suitable for broadcasting receiving apparatuses of different forms, particularly small mobile devices, as existing applications are primarily designed for larger displays.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for generating and transmitting multiple applications that provide a common broadcasting service, including information on each application's compatibility with various broadcasting receiving apparatuses, allowing for selection and execution of the appropriate application based on the receiving apparatus's specifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple applications are transmitted to support various broadcasting receiving apparatuses, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The application is segmented into multiple versions tailored for different broadcasting receiving apparatus types (e.g., mobile devices, set-top boxes, personal computers). Each version is optimized for its target platform's specific capabilities, allowing the system to provide adapted applications without requiring a single complex application to support all devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a universal application distribution mechanism that handles multiple application versions through a single transmission interface. The broadcasting receiving apparatus automatically selects and executes the appropriate version based on its device type, achieving multi-functionality at the system level without requiring each individual application to be universally compatible.
2Reliability
If all applications are stored on the broadcasting receiving apparatus, then reliability is improved, but memory consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing application compatibility information and device type identification before application execution. The broadcasting receiving apparatus determines its device type in advance and automatically selects the appropriate application version, eliminating the need to store and manage multiple application versions locally while ensuring reliable execution of the correct version.
