Digital TV Management via Compact Wireless Access Points
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for managing and providing services to multiple rooms in hotels or similar spaces, such as hotels and hospitals, are inefficient due to the need for manual upgrades and lack of detailed protocols for data transmission, leading to high costs and inconvenience in managing and providing individual services.
Innovation Solution
A method using a compact wireless device with an access point card that allows for remote control and management of digital television systems, enabling the transmission of customized information and services to individual rooms through a multiple access point control system, which includes receiving display type information, obtaining additional information from a management server, and controlling the display of this information on the DTV.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual upgrades are used for managing multiple rooms, then service customization is possible, but management cost and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service through automatic room identification when guests enter rooms, automated service provisioning based on guest profiles, and self-contained digital television systems that automatically receive and display customized information without manual intervention, thereby reducing management time while maintaining service customization
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring service profiles, pre-loading customized information, and pre-establishing access point connections before guests need services, allowing rapid service deployment without time-consuming manual setup during guest arrival
2Measurement precision
If detailed protocols are implemented for data transmission to each room, then service precision improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses universal protocols that can handle multiple service types (information display, pay-per-view, internet access, device control) through a single standardized communication framework, achieving service precision without increasing system complexity by avoiding the need for separate detailed protocols for each service
3Adaptability or versatility
If infrastructure modifications are made for remote control capability, then service functionality improves, but implementation cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces access points as intermediary devices that enable remote control and data transmission without requiring modifications to the digital television hardware itself, reducing implementation cost by adding functionality through intermediate wireless communication infrastructure rather than direct hardware modifications
Data Source
AI summary
A digital broadcasting system and a method for processing data in the same are disclosed. A method for controlling a digital television (DTV) located in one independent space among a plurality of independent spaces physically separated from one another is disclosed. The method includes receiving display type information from a compact wireless device, wherein the display type information is type information of data capable of being processed by the compact wireless device, transmitting the received display type information to a management server, receiving general additional information and additional information dependent on the display type information from the management server, and controlling the general additional information to be displayed on the DTV and transmitting the additional information dependent on the display type information to the compact wireless device.
