Solution Overview

Problem

Pre-roll advertisements in TV and mobile devices cause time delays, reducing user immersion and degrading advertising effectiveness due to the lack of methods to separate content and advertisements for simultaneous display on connected devices.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and method that connects with a portable device to separate and output content without advertisements on the display device while transmitting advertisements to the portable device, allowing synchronized but separate reproduction of content and ads on different screens based on user settings and analysis of transport stream packets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If pre-roll advertisement is displayed on the display apparatus before content playback, then the advertisement can be shown to users, but it causes time delay and reduces user immersion in the selected content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser immersionVSAvoidtime delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the content stream into separate components: main content and advertisement. The controller identifies advertisement packets using specific criteria (transport_private_data_flag=1, transport_private_data(0)=0x41, transport_private_data(1)=0x64, transport_private_data(2)=0x44, transport_private_data(3)=0x2d, transport_private_data(4)=0x31, transport_private_data(5)=0x36) and separates them from the main content stream, allowing independent processing and playback of each component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the advertisement portion from the content stream and transmits it separately to the portable apparatus. The controller identifies and extracts advertisement packets by analyzing the transport stream packet structure, then transmits only the extracted advertisement data to the portable device while maintaining the main content stream on the display apparatus.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If pre-roll advertisement is displayed on the display apparatus, then the advertisement can be shown, but the advertising effect is degraded because there is no method to force user immersion in the advertisement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising effectVSAvoiddisplay flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds a spatial dimension to advertisement delivery by utilizing a second display device (portable apparatus) connected to the display apparatus. This creates a multi-dimensional display scenario where content plays on the main screen and advertisements play simultaneously on the connected portable device, expanding the traditional single-screen limitation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The portable apparatus acts as an intermediary device that receives and displays advertisements separately from the main content. The controller of the display apparatus transmits advertisement data through the communication interface to the portable apparatus, which then renders the advertisement independently, allowing forced viewing without interrupting the main content experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If content and advertisement are transmitted separately to different devices, then user immersion is improved and advertising effectiveness is enhanced, but the system complexity increases due to device connection and synchronization requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser immersionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The controller is designed with multi-functionality to handle both content and advertisement processing, identification, separation, and transmission. The communication interface is configured to support both content streaming and advertisement transmission protocols, reducing the need for separate dedicated components and simplifying the overall system architecture.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the existing communication interface and processing capabilities of the display apparatus to handle advertisement separation and transmission without requiring additional external equipment. The controller automatically identifies, separates, and transmits advertisements using built-in functions, and the portable apparatus uses its existing display and processing capabilities to render the received advertisement data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
