Electronic Device Multi-Stream Background Preloading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face challenges in efficiently managing multi-streaming services, leading to delays when transitioning from single view to multi-view mode, as they require time to load and prepare applications for displaying multiple content streams simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device recognizes the channel providing content, executes a multi-streaming service application in the background, requests and receives multi-streaming service information, and displays a user interface notifying the user of available multi-streaming services, allowing for immediate activation and seamless transition to multi-view mode upon user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the multi-streaming service application is loaded and prepared in advance, then the transition time to multi-view mode is reduced, but the device consumes additional memory and processing resources in the background
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by detecting channel changes and pre-loading the multi-streaming service application in the background before the user actually requests multi-view mode. This allows the application to be ready immediately when needed, reducing transition time while managing resource consumption through selective pre-loading based on channel change events.
2Ease of operation
If the application automatically activates multi-streaming service upon channel change, then user experience is improved, but unnecessary service activation occurs when users do not intend to use multi-view mode
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses feedback by providing a user interface that notifies users of the pre-loaded multi-streaming service and awaits their confirmation or selection to activate. This feedback mechanism ensures the service is only activated when the user actually intends to use it, avoiding unnecessary activations while maintaining ease of operation through the notification system.

AI summary
Provided are an electronic device and a method of operating the electronic device. The electronic device includes a memory storing one or more instructions, and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to analyze content displayed on a display to recognize a channel providing the content, execute a multi-streaming service application corresponding to the recognized channel as a background, request multi-streaming service information regarding the content from a server through the multi-streaming service application, receive the multi-streaming service information in response to the request, based on the received multi-streaming service information, display a user interface notifying that a multi-streaming service regarding the content is available, and, according to a user input received in response to the user interface, activate and execute the multi-streaming service application.
