Data Component Extraction for Mobile Device Compatibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Consumer Electronic (CE) devices face difficulties in reproducing various types of components due to their mobility-focused characteristics, making it challenging to manage and reproduce multiple components simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A data managing method and apparatus that extracts specific components from received data based on metadata about external devices, generating new data suitable for reproduction by these devices, including determining which components to extract and convert for compatibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multi-component information is provided to CE devices, then information variety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments multi-component information into separate components (video, audio, text, images) and manages them independently. The server selectively extracts and transmits only the components needed for a specific reproduction device, reducing the complexity burden on mobile CE devices while maintaining information variety.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between information sources and CE devices. This server manages the complexity by determining which components to extract and transmit based on device capabilities, allowing CE devices to access diverse information without directly handling the complexity of multi-component management.
2Ease of operation
If CE devices focus on mobility, then portability is improved, but component reproduction capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary components for reproduction from the complete multi-component information set. Based on device metadata indicating mobility constraints, the server extracts and transmits only relevant components (e.g., audio only for audio players), enabling CE devices to maintain portability while successfully reproducing required components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of component selection based on device characteristics. By analyzing device metadata (such as mobility focus), the system dynamically adjusts which components are extracted and transmitted, allowing CE devices to operate in their mobility-optimized state while still achieving successful component reproduction through adaptive parameter adjustment.
3Loss of information
If all components are transmitted to external devices, then data completeness is improved, but transmission efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary components for reproduction from the complete multi-component information set. Based on device metadata indicating mobility constraints, the server extracts and transmits only relevant components (e.g., audio only for audio players), enabling CE devices to maintain portability while successfully reproducing required components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the subset of components needed for reproduction rather than all available components. This selective transmission approach maintains data completeness for the intended reproduction purpose while significantly improving transmission efficiency and reducing unnecessary data transfer.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods and apparatuses for managing data. The method includes obtaining first data including a plurality of components, determining at least one component to be reproduced by an external device from among the plurality of components, based on metadata about the external device, and generating second data using the at least one component from the first data.
