Content Collection Apparatus for Event Device Aggregation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing and collecting content from multiple devices at the same event is cumbersome, especially when storage capacity is limited, leading to duplication and difficulty in locating specific content.
Innovation Solution
A content-collecting apparatus that recognizes and connects adjacent devices via a network, extracts characteristics of content based on usage situations, and collects relevant content from these devices, allowing for easy retrieval and organization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If content is stored in one device with large capacity, then content management becomes simpler, but such devices are not always available
Solution Approach 1:
The content collecting apparatus is designed to function as a universal content aggregation device that can collect content from multiple different types of devices (cameras, mobile phones, PCs, etc.) through network connections, making the content management system adaptable to various device configurations without requiring a specific high-capacity storage device
2Ease of operation
If content from multiple devices is collected in one location, then content management becomes simpler, but the same content may be stored in duplicate in different folders
Solution Approach 1:
The content collecting apparatus extracts characteristics from content (such as image content, metadata, timestamps) and uses this information to intelligently determine where to store files and whether duplicates already exist. This feedback mechanism prevents duplicate storage by comparing extracted characteristics against existing content in the collected content storage unit
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically extracts content characteristics and performs duplicate detection without requiring manual user intervention. The content collecting apparatus autonomously manages the collection process, including automatic classification and duplicate prevention based on extracted content features
3Ease of operation
If content is collected manually from multiple devices, then content can be organized, but it takes long time to find and gather desired content
Solution Approach 1:
The content collecting apparatus automatically collects content from multiple devices in advance and organizes it by extracting characteristics such as content type, timestamp, and metadata. This preliminary organization is performed before the user needs to access the content, so when content retrieval is needed, it is already sorted and ready for quick access
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of searching through devices and folders is replaced with an automated information processing system that extracts content characteristics and performs automatic classification. This substitution of manual operations with automated characteristic-based sorting dramatically reduces the time required to locate and gather desired content

AI summary
Apparatus and method for collecting content by a content-collecting apparatus. The method comprises: extracting characteristic information from content that is being displayed; displaying a list of the extracted characteristic information; receiving a user input to select at least one piece of the extracted characteristic information in the displayed list; recognizing an external device that is in a predetermined range from the content-collecting apparatus; transmitting the selected characteristic information which is extracted from the content to the external device; and receiving at least one related content relating to the selected characteristic information from the external device. Receiving the at least one related content comprises: receiving at least one thumbnail image corresponding to the at least one related content from the external device and displaying the at least one thumbnail image; requesting related content corresponding to a selected thumbnail image which is selected, by a user, from the displayed at least one thumbnail image; and receiving the requested related content from the external device.
