Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern digital receivers require complex user interactions for various functions, leading to inconvenience, especially in environments like supermarkets where multiple employees are needed for payment processing, and users struggle to access and use digital receivers without extensive manual guidance.
Innovation Solution
A digital receiver with a user interface that allows users to select information in a social networking service (SNS) display window, convert it into image data, and drag or move it to execute desired functions, such as channel changes, within the main display region, enhancing user accessibility and convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple employees are used for payment processing in supermarket environment, then payment processing capability is improved, but operational complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The digital receiver enables self-service functionality where the system automatically performs payment processing tasks. The receiver independently manages broadcast reception, decoding, and display without requiring multiple employees to manually operate the equipment, thus maintaining high productivity while reducing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with automated digital processing. The digital receiver uses electronic signal processing, automated tuning, and digital display mechanisms to substitute the manual physical operations that previously required multiple employees, thereby improving efficiency while reducing operational complexity.
2Loss of information
If manual guidance is provided for accessing digital receiver functions, then user understanding is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The digital receiver provides self-explanatory interfaces and automatic function execution. When users interact with the receiver, the system automatically performs the intended function without requiring users to consult manuals or receive guidance, thus maintaining user understanding while significantly improving convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intelligent intermediary interface between the user and the complex internal functions. This intermediary layer automatically interprets user intent and executes appropriate functions, serving as a mediator that eliminates the need for manual guidance while ensuring users understand and achieve their goals.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple steps are required to execute functions, then function control precision is improved, but operation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The digital receiver performs preliminary setup and configuration automatically during system initialization. Functions are pre-configured and ready for execution, eliminating the need for users to go through multiple setup steps while maintaining precise control over function execution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple sequential operations into single integrated functions. The digital receiver combines signal reception, decoding, processing, and display into unified automated functions that execute precisely while minimizing the time users need to spend on operation.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of controlling a digital apparatus, and which includes displaying, on a display of the digital apparatus, at least first and second display regions, the first display region configured to display a broadcast program and the second display region displaying social network contents; receiving, via an input unit of the digital apparatus, a selection signal indicating a selection of at least a part of the displayed social network contents; converting, via a controller of the digital apparatus, the selected part of the social network contents into image data; receiving, via the input unit, a moving signal indicating a movement of the converted image data on the display; and executing, via the controller, a predetermined application based on the movement of the image data.
