Solution Overview

Problem

Users are inconvenienced by having to input keywords and search for additional information associated with a broadcasting signal on display apparatuses, as existing technologies do not provide a seamless way to access relevant information without manual input.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that acquire user preference information and automatically generate additional information based on keywords extracted from the broadcasting signal, providing it to a mobile terminal without requiring users to manually search.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users manually input keywords and search for additional information, then they can obtain relevant information, but the operation complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadditional information acquisitionVSAvoidkeyword input and search process
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically extracts keywords from the broadcasting signal content and performs searches without requiring user input. The display apparatus itself serves the user by autonomously acquiring additional information related to the displayed content, eliminating the need for manual keyword entry and search operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-extracts keywords from the broadcasting signal in advance and maintains a buffer of additional information that can be quickly provided to users. This preliminary processing of content and keyword extraction prepares the system to deliver relevant information without requiring users to initiate separate search actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the system automatically provides additional information, then user convenience improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic information provisionVSAvoidsignal processing and keyword extraction functions
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display apparatus integrates multiple functions including broadcasting signal reception, content display, automatic keyword extraction, search execution, and additional information provision within a single device. This multi-functionality allows the system to automatically provide relevant information without requiring separate dedicated devices or complex external systems.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the keyword extraction function, search function, and information provision function into an integrated system within the display apparatus. By merging these previously separate functions into one unified device, the system achieves automatic information provision while managing complexity through functional integration rather than multiplication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
