Display Apparatus Deep Link Management for Cloud Game History
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses face challenges in managing and providing a list of recently played cloud game applications due to difficulties in tracking execution history through UIs provided by cloud servers, making it hard to offer direct access to media content.
Innovation Solution
The display apparatus connects to a content providing server, generates a media player for playing media content, and obtains deep link information to provide direct access to media content through a user interface, using metadata and content fingerprinting to identify and request deep link information for media content being played.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display apparatus uses UI provided by cloud server to access media content, then connection to content providing server is established, but tracking execution history and providing direct access to recently played content becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a media player as an intermediary component between the display apparatus and the cloud server. This media player captures execution history information (deep link information) locally, enabling the display apparatus to track recently played content without relying solely on the cloud server's UI. The media player acts as a local mediator that stores and manages execution history, allowing direct access to recently played content while maintaining connection to the content providing server.
2Productivity
If the display apparatus connects to content providing server through communication interface, then media content can be received and played, but managing and providing list of recently played applications becomes challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the system into distinct functional components: the display apparatus for local processing and history tracking, the media player for capturing execution history, and the cloud server for content delivery. By separating the execution history management function into the media player component, the display apparatus can maintain simple content playback functionality while the media player handles the complexity of tracking and managing recently played applications locally.
3Ease of operation
If deep link information is obtained for media content being played back, then direct access to content is enabled, but additional processing steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The media player is designed to automatically capture and store deep link information during content playback without requiring manual intervention. The system performs self-service by automatically tracking execution history, generating deep link information, and making it available for direct access. This automation reduces the perceived complexity for users while maintaining the necessary processing functionality in the background.

AI summary
A display apparatus and a method of operating the same are provided. The display apparatus displays a first user interface including an item enabling connection to a content providing server, connects to the content providing server according to an input for selecting the item to display a second user interface provided by the content providing server, generates a media player for playing the media content received from the content providing server according to an input of requesting execution of the media content through the second user interface, obtains deep link information for accessing the media content being played back, while the media content received from the content providing server is being played back by using the generated media player, and provides a deep link item enabling direct access to the media content to the first user interface, based on the obtained deep link information.
