Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience in retrieving and downloading background music from TV programs or movies as existing services interrupt the viewing experience and require manual identification and replaying content to access music information.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and method that extracts audio parameters of background music, transmits them to an external server for identification, and displays a music album list on an external device without interrupting the user's viewing experience, allowing seamless access to background music information and playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a service automatically identifies background music in real-time, then background music identification accuracy is improved, but user viewing experience is interrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebackground music identification accuracyVSAvoiduser viewing experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and stores audio parameters of background music in advance during content playback without interrupting the user. When the user requests background music information, the pre-extracted parameters are quickly matched against a database to identify the music, eliminating the need for real-time interruption while maintaining identification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If manual identification and replaying of content is required, then background music information retrieval is achieved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebackground music information retrievalVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Audio parameters are extracted and stored in advance during content playback. When identification is needed, the system directly uses these pre-extracted parameters for quick database matching, eliminating the time-consuming process of replaying content to identify background music.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of replaying the original content to identify background music, the system creates and uses a separate copy of audio parameters that were extracted beforehand. This allows rapid identification without needing to re-play the video content, significantly reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If background music information is displayed on the display apparatus, then user access to music information is improved, but content viewing is interrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser access to music informationVSAvoidcontent viewing interruption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses an external apparatus as an intermediary to display background music information. The display apparatus sends a request to identify background music, receives the identification result, and then transmits it to the external apparatus for display. This allows users to access music information on their personal devices without the display apparatus interrupting the content viewing experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
