Solution Overview

Problem

Current digital broadcasting methods face limitations due to limited bandwidth, requiring higher bandwidth for HD applications, resulting in restricted numbers and configurations, and incur significant time for data application execution and retransmission due to packet loss, while also being resource-constrained by receiver limitations, preventing personalized data applications.

Innovation Solution

A method where only scene configuration information is transmitted over the digital broadcasting network, with components received via a communication network based on user or viewer identification, allowing for personalized data application provision by selecting and displaying components according to layout and download path information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data application is transmitted through digital broadcasting network, then broadcasting service is provided, but bandwidth limitation restricts number and size of applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of data applicationsVSAvoidbandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The data application is divided into two parts: scene configuration information (transmitted via broadcasting network) and application components (transmitted via communication network). This segmentation allows the broadcasting network to carry only essential configuration data, reducing bandwidth consumption while enabling transmission of multiple full applications through the communication network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A communication network acts as an intermediary to transmit application components, relieving the digital broadcasting network from carrying large application data. The broadcasting network only transmits scene configuration information, while the communication network handles the bulk data transmission, effectively resolving the bandwidth limitation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If complete data application is transmitted and executed at receiver, then application functionality is provided, but execution time is excessive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication execution speedVSAvoidtime for receiving and executing application
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Scene configuration information is transmitted and prepared in advance through the broadcasting network, while application components are pre-configured to be downloaded only when needed. This preliminary preparation of configuration data accelerates the overall application deployment process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of transmitting and executing complete applications, only the essential scene configuration information is transmitted via broadcasting network. The actual application components are downloaded partially and on-demand via communication network, significantly reducing the time-critical broadcasting transmission requirement while maintaining full functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Manufacturing precision

If HD data application is transmitted, then high quality service is provided, but bandwidth requirement exceeds available capacity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication qualityVSAvoidbandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The HD application is segmented into scene configuration information (small size, transmitted via broadcasting) and application components (large size, transmitted via communication network). This allows HD quality applications to be delivered without requiring excessive broadcasting bandwidth, as the bulk data travels through the communication network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The communication network serves as an intermediary for transmitting large HD application components, allowing the broadcasting network to maintain high quality service through efficient scene configuration transmission while offloading the bandwidth-intensive data transfer to the communication network infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If personalized data application is provided, then user experience is improved, but receiver resources are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidreceiver resource capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The application is segmented into scene configuration information (received via broadcasting) and application components (downloaded via communication network). This allows personalized applications to be configured with minimal broadcasting resources, while the actual personalization data and components are downloaded on-demand using the receiver's communication interface, bypassing the broadcasting network's resource limitations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The communication network acts as an intermediary that enables personalized application delivery without overloading the receiver's broadcasting resources. Personalization data and application components are transmitted through the communication network, allowing the receiver to handle personalized content with its existing resource capacity while maintaining adaptability and user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
