Content Enabling System for Sensory Content Acquisition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in accessing and retrieving information related to sensory content, such as advertisements or live events, due to limited time to note down web addresses or poor image quality from mobile device captures, especially in non-ideal conditions.
Innovation Solution
A cyber-physical system comprising a content enabling device, a mobile device, and a cloud-based content management server that allows users to generate tokens with content identification parameters like location and time, enabling remote acquisition of relevant Internet content by matching these parameters with stored information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users take pictures with mobile device cameras to capture sensory content, then users can retain images as personal mementos, but the image quality deteriorates in non-ideal conditions such as low level lighting
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-captures high-quality images and videos of sensory content (advertisements, live events) under optimal conditions before users need them. Content is captured in advance by professional equipment or the system itself, stored on servers, and made available for later retrieval by users who cannot capture quality content themselves due to poor lighting or other suboptimal conditions.
2Loss of time
If users manually note down web addresses from rolling advertisements, then users can access the displayed website, but users do not have sufficient time to properly remember the web address or product information
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of requiring users to manually transcribe or remember web addresses from rapidly changing advertisements, the system automatically captures the advertisement content, extracts relevant information including web addresses, and stores it. Users can then retrieve this pre-processed information through their mobile devices without time pressure, eliminating the need for manual copying or memorization.
3Reliability
If users search the Internet for better quality pictures of live events, then users may find images taken by others, but the images may not match the specific time or perspective desired by the user
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where user requests for specific events or times are processed, and the system retrieves or captures content matching those specific parameters. The system learns from user preferences and feedback to improve the accuracy of retrieved content, ensuring that users receive images and videos that match their desired time, perspective, and context rather than generic search results.

AI summary
A system and method for remote acquisition of Internet content in a cyber-physical system. A cyber-physical system can include a multitude of electronic devices that are networked with each other, where some devices control each other to execute particular functions. According to the present embodiments, a user can request Internet information relating to sensory content presented to him/her by a content provider in a particular location by actuating their mobile device. Based on the time of the request and the location and direction of the mobile device, Internet information related to the sensory content that stimulated the user to actuate the mobile device is delivered to the mobile device or a cloud-based user account, for viewing. Such information can be provided via the Internet.
