Electronic Apparatus Content Slot Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic apparatuses face challenges in synchronizing the display of replacement content in replacement slots between different content pieces, leading to potential gaps or interruptions in user experience due to mismatched lengths of replacement content and slots.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus and method that transmit content recognition information to an external server, receive address information for replacement content, and adjust the display time or remove frames to match the length of the replacement content with the replacement slot, ensuring seamless transitions by selecting specific frames for removal based on type and analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If replacement content is displayed in a replacement slot between content pieces, then user experience is enhanced through customized content insertion, but synchronization problems occur when the replacement content length does not match the replacement slot length
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the display duration of replacement content based on real-time comparison between replacement slot length and replacement content length. When lengths differ, the system modifies frame display timing to achieve synchronization, transforming a static display problem into a dynamic adaptation process that maintains reliability while preserving customization capability
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the display parameter (frame display time) of replacement content to match the replacement slot length. By adjusting this parameter, the system resolves the contradiction between customized content insertion and synchronization reliability, allowing versatile content replacement while maintaining precise temporal alignment
2Reliability
If frames are removed from replacement content to match replacement slot length, then synchronization is achieved, but content quality may be degraded
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of removing entire frames, the system applies partial action by adjusting the display time of individual frames within the replacement content. This approach achieves synchronization by controlling how long each frame is displayed, rather than removing frames entirely, thus preserving content quality while maintaining synchronization reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the replacement content and replacement slot lengths before display, determining the exact frame display time adjustment needed. This preliminary action allows the system to prepare the optimal synchronization strategy, avoiding quality degradation by pre-calculating the precise parameter adjustments required
3Reliability
If frame display time is increased to match replacement slot length, then synchronization is achieved, but playback speed is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the display time parameter of frames in the replacement content to match the replacement slot length. This parameter adjustment achieves synchronization by extending frame display duration, directly addressing the contradiction between maintaining synchronization reliability and preserving normal playback speed through controlled temporal adjustment
