Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional chatting systems fail to provide real-time match progress data during sports events, limiting users who cannot attend the event from experiencing the live updates, as they only output data after the match is completed.

Innovation Solution

A chatting terminal and system that includes a camera, communication unit, storage unit, and control unit to capture, receive, and append real-time match progress data to capturing data, allowing simultaneous display of match progress and chatting data on a display unit, enabling users to share real-time updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional chatting systems output match data only after the match is completed, then data processing simplicity is maintained, but real-time information availability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time match progress informationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by capturing match progress data during the match and pre-processing it with timestamp correlation before the match concludes. The control unit appends image data to capturing data in real-time, preparing the information for immediate display without requiring post-match processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The chatting terminal autonomously performs real-time data processing by automatically correlating match progress data with capturing data timestamps and appending relevant image data. The system serves itself by managing the complexity of real-time data integration without requiring external server intervention for each data processing operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If real-time match progress data is integrated with capturing data, then user experience is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit acts as an intermediary that automatically correlates timestamps from match progress data with capturing data, and selectively appends image data based on temporal correspondence. This intermediary function simplifies the user interface while managing the complexity of real-time data integration in the background.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of data integration by appending image data to capturing data based on timestamp correlation. This parameter-based approach (time-based matching) allows automatic integration of real-time match progress with capturing data without requiring complex manual synchronization or analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If match progress data is displayed simultaneously with chatting data, then real-time information availability is improved, but display region management becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematch progress information availabilityVSAvoiddisplay region management
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display unit is segmented into distinct regions: one region displays match progress data while another region displays chatting data. This segmentation allows both types of information to be displayed simultaneously without overlapping, managing the complexity of display region allocation through clear spatial separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from sequential information display to simultaneous display by utilizing different spatial dimensions (display regions) on the screen. Match progress data and chatting data are presented in parallel across different regions, effectively adding a spatial dimension to information organization and resolving display management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A chatting terminal includes: a communication unit capable of receiving match progress data indicating a progress state of a match and chatting data indicating a content of a chatting corresponding to the match from a server to which the match progress data and the chatting data are uploaded; a camera capable of capturing a match to acquire capturing data; a storage unit that stores the match progress data obtained by the communication unit in correlation with an upload time at which the match progress data was uploaded to the server; and a control unit that appends the match progress data corresponding to a time point at which the capturing data was acquired to the capturing data to generate appended data when the capturing data of the match is obtained by the camera in a state in which a chatting application is activated.
