Content Playback Speed Control for Selected Media Segments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile devices lack an efficient method to differentiate and manipulate selected parts of content, such as text or video, from the rest, limiting user interaction and customization.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allows users to select and modify parts of content, like handwritten text, typed text, images, or video, by applying different magnification or reproduction speed settings, enabling users to highlight, underline, or change the playback speed of specific sections, using touch inputs and gestures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users apply different magnification or reproduction speed settings to selected parts of content, then user interaction and customization capability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The content is divided into selected parts and unselected parts, allowing independent manipulation of each segment. Users can apply different magnification or reproduction speed settings to different segments, enabling customized interaction without complicating the overall system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
Different properties (magnification or reproduction speed) are applied to different parts of the content based on user selection. The selected part receives one setting while the unselected part receives another setting, allowing localized customization without affecting the entire content uniformly.
2Loss of information
If the system applies different settings to selected and unselected parts of content, then content differentiation is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses visual differentiation (analogous to color changes) to distinguish selected parts from unselected parts of content. This visual feedback mechanism helps users understand which parts have been selected and what settings are applied, maintaining operational simplicity while achieving clear content differentiation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically applies different magnification or reproduction speed settings to selected and unselected parts based on user input, without requiring manual configuration for each part. This self-service approach simplifies operation while achieving effective content differentiation.

AI summary
A method and a device for providing content are provided. The device comprises a display, an interface and a controller. The display is configured to display multimedia content. The interface is configured to receive a first input that selects a section of the displayed multimedia content. The controller is configured to control a reproduction speed of the selected section of the displayed multimedia content and a reproduction speed of an unselected section of the displayed multimedia content to be different from each other.
