Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional media delivery systems fail to cater to the diverse needs of audiences, including individuals with hearing impairments, non-native language speakers, and those seeking personalized content, often resulting in an inaccessible and non-inclusive media experience.

Innovation Solution

A personalized media delivery system (PMDS) utilizing RFID sensors, NFC tags, facial recognition, and location-based technologies to identify users and deliver customized media content based on their preferences through smart devices, incorporating features like hearing aids, headphones, and tactile displays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional media delivery systems provide uniform media content to all users, then the system complexity is low and ease of operation is maintained, but accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments and language barriers deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The media content is segmented into multiple versions (original, translated, signed) that can be delivered simultaneously to different users based on their needs. The system divides the audience into segments with different requirements and provides customized content to each segment through individual devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The media delivery system is designed to serve multiple functions: delivering original content, translated content, and signed content through the same infrastructure. The system can adapt to different user needs (hearing impaired, language barriers, etc.) without requiring separate systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional media delivery systems provide uniform media content to all users, then the device complexity is low, but the personalization and user experience deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

User preferences and requirements are determined in advance through registration or profile creation. The system prepares and stores multiple versions of media content (translated, signed, etc.) before delivery, so that when a user requests content, the appropriate version is already ready for immediate delivery without real-time processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of creating custom content for each user in real-time, the system creates pre-copied versions of the media content in different formats (translations, signed versions). These copies are stored and delivered based on user selection, reducing the complexity of real-time content generation while maintaining high personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If media content is customized for individual users based on preferences and needs, then accessibility and personalization are improved, but the system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Users independently select their preferred media format (original, translated, signed) through their devices without requiring complex real-time processing or manual intervention from the system. The system simply delivers the pre-prepared content version that matches the user's selection, reducing processing complexity while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A system for providing customized content includes a recognition device. A media transmission device is in communication with a recognition device and a media delivery device. The media transmission device is in communication with a processor and a memory storing computer instructions configured to instruct the processor to receive a primary media presentation including primary media content for a point of interest of a venue. The media transmission device generates a secondary media presentation including secondary media content for the user based on identified user preferences for the user. The media transmission device generates a custom media presentation including custom media content for the user based on the identified user preferences. The media transmission device transmits the primary media presentation, the secondary media presentation, or the custom media presentation and presents the primary media content, the secondary media content, or the custom media content to the user.
