Content Playback Terminal with One-Step Speed Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user interfaces for switching playback speed in content playback require a two-step operation, involving the display of a list of options and a selection, which is cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
An information processing terminal with a one-step switching function that automatically sets the playback speed to the previously used speed upon a single button press, allowing seamless transition without the need for additional selection from a list.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a list of playback speed options is displayed and user selection is required, then the user can choose from multiple speed options, but the operation becomes cumbersome requiring two-step process
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-sets multiple playback speed options (0.5x, 0.75x, 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 2.0x) in advance within the control unit. When the switching operation is triggered, the system automatically cycles through these pre-prepared options without requiring the user to manually select from a displayed list, thus resolving the contradiction between having multiple options and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The playback speed switching function operates autonomously based on detected user input. When the user performs a switching operation, the system automatically selects and applies the next playback speed in sequence without requiring further user interaction or manual selection, making the system serve itself rather than requiring continuous user control
2Ease of operation
If default playback speed is used for all content, then the system is simple to operate, but the user cannot easily switch to previously used playback settings
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit stores information about previously used playback speeds and uses this feedback to automatically select appropriate speeds upon switching operations. The system remembers past user preferences and applies them in subsequent playback sessions, creating a feedback loop that adapts to user behavior while maintaining simple default operation
Solution Approach 2:
The playback speed setting transitions from a static default value to a dynamic value that changes based on user operations and stored history. The system adapts its behavior by cycling through different playback speeds based on detected switching operations, making the setting flexible and responsive to user needs while maintaining simplicity

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing terminal, an information processing method, and a program, each of which makes it possible to easily switch a setting regarding playback of content.An information processing terminal according to an aspect of the present technology starts playback of content by using a default value as a setting value of a predetermined setting regarding playback, and controls the playback of the content so that, in a case where a switching operation for switching the predetermined setting is performed, the content is played back by using a setting value selected during previous playback. The present technology is applicable to a smartphone in which various applications can be installed to extend a function thereof.
