Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices face inconvenience in editing content due to the need for manual adjustments for each device, as they often play content in a predetermined size, leading to incomplete rendering of content based on dimension and resolution mismatches.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a processor and communicator that captures and transmits content images, receives editing information, and applies AI-driven editing to improve image quality and adapt content for display, including resizing, adding text, and integrating content across multiple devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If display devices play content in a predesignated size, then the device operation is simplified, but the content rendering completeness deteriorates due to dimension and resolution mismatches

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice operation simplicityVSAvoidcontent rendering completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary capture of the content image displayed on the display device and transmits it to the user's device before final rendering. This allows the content to be pre-processed and adapted to the specific display dimensions and resolution requirements, ensuring complete rendering without requiring manual intervention during playback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing system consisting of the communicator and processor that mediates between the display device and the content source. This intermediary captures the displayed content, transmits it to the user's device for processing, and then transmits the processed content back, enabling automatic adaptation to different display specifications without simplifying the underlying complex rendering requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If manual editing of content is performed for each display device, then the content rendering completeness is improved, but the time consumption and operation complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent rendering completenessVSAvoidediting time consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service automatic editing by capturing the content image from the display device, transmitting it to the user's device, and automatically processing it based on the captured display specifications. The processor automatically edits the content to match the display device's dimensions and resolution without requiring manual user intervention, thus completing the rendering accurately while saving time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the display device's actual display characteristics (dimension and resolution) are captured and transmitted to the user's device. This feedback information is then used to automatically adjust and edit the content to perfectly match the display specifications, eliminating the need for manual trial-and-error editing and significantly reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If content is edited to adapt to different display devices, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional processing functions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent adaptability to display devicesVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The user's device is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a content receiver and an automatic processing engine. The device universally handles different content types and display specifications through a single integrated system that captures display images, analyzes specifications, automatically edits content, and transmits processed content back, eliminating the need for separate manual editing processes for each device type.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical editing operations with automated electronic processing. Instead of requiring physical or manual intervention to adjust content for different displays, the system uses electronic capture of display specifications, automated image processing algorithms, and digital content transformation to adapt content to various display devices, significantly reducing system complexity while improving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A method of editing content being played on a display device is disclosed. In detail, the disclosed method includes: receiving, from the display device, a captured content image and information with respect to the content; transmitting the captured content image to a device of a user and receiving editing information with respect to the content from the device; editing the content stored in a memory, based on at least one of the received editing information and the information with respect to the content; and controlling a communicator to transmit the edited content to the display device so that the edited content is played on the display device.
