Content Service System for Automatic Widget-Based Extended Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current content service systems fail to automatically provide extended information related to multimedia content, such as film locations or product information, requiring users to manually search, and do not allow real-time interaction with content like video or audio programs.
Innovation Solution
A content service system comprising a content metadata analyzer, widget information acquisition, widget administration, and widget engine modules that automatically generate and execute widgets based on metadata from multimedia content, enabling the delivery of extended content and real-time interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If manual search is used to obtain extended information, then user control over information search is maintained, but time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically provides extended content by analyzing metadata from multimedia content and selecting appropriate widgets without requiring user manual search or intervention. The content service system serves itself by autonomously determining what extended information to provide based on the consumed content's metadata.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures multiple widgets with different extended content types before the user needs information. When content is consumed, the system already has widgets ready to be automatically selected and activated, eliminating the need for users to manually search or configure information sources in real-time.
2Productivity
If automatic widget selection is implemented, then time consumption is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The content service system performs multiple functions through a unified architecture: it analyzes metadata from various multimedia formats, manages a library of widgets, determines appropriate content extensions, and coordinates widget activation. This multi-functional design consolidates complexity into a single system rather than requiring separate services for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a content service system as an intermediary layer between the multimedia content source and the user's display device. This intermediary automatically handles the complexity of metadata analysis, widget selection, and content delivery, shielding the user from system complexity while maintaining high productivity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If real-time interaction with content is enabled, then user engagement is improved, but system complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The interaction functionality is segmented into separate, modular widgets that can be independently selected and activated. Each widget handles a specific type of interaction or content extension, allowing the system to provide real-time interaction capabilities through composition of simple, manageable units rather than requiring a monolithic complex system.

AI summary
A content service system including a content metadata analyzer module, a widget information acquisition module, a widget administration module, and a widget engine module is provided. The content metadata analyzer module receives a first metadata corresponding to a multimedia content, and generates a widget request or a service metadata according to the first metadata. The widget information acquisition module acquires a widget information of a first widget according to the widget request or the service metadata. The widget administration module installs and executes the first widget according to the widget information, wherein the first widget plays an extended content corresponding to the multimedia content. A content service method and a computer-readable recording medium corresponding to the content service method are also provided.
