Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in accurately and easily searching for products, people, music, or places appearing in videos while watching, as existing digital TV services do not provide a seamless integration of search functions within the viewing experience.
Innovation Solution
A display device equipped with a user input interface, controller, and network interface that allows users to search for and retrieve information about video scene elements, displaying relevant icons and enabling commands to access related products, music recognition, and location information, with options for purchasing or saving items to a shopping cart.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users use existing digital TV services to search for products, people, music, or places appearing in videos, then they can access search functions through external devices or applications, but they cannot properly watch the video while searching and it is difficult to find the same thing that appears in the video
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of video content by extracting key elements (products, people, music, places) and storing them with their corresponding timestamps and scene information before the user initiates a search. This pre-processing enables instant retrieval when a user searches, eliminating the need to manually scan through videos to find relevant content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary search system that acts as a bridge between the video content and the user. This intermediary automatically extracts and indexes video elements, then matches user search queries with the pre-indexed data, providing direct links to the specific video scenes where the searched elements appear. This mediator eliminates the need for users to manually search through videos while watching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users use external devices or applications to search for video content, then they can access search functionality, but they cannot properly watch the video while searching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the search functionality directly into the video player interface, combining the video playback and search functions into a single integrated system. The search interface is overlaid on or integrated with the video display, allowing users to perform searches without leaving the video viewing context. This integration enables users to watch videos and search for elements simultaneously within the same interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a video player and a search engine. The system can simultaneously perform video playback, content analysis, and search operations within a single device interface. This universal design eliminates the need for external devices or applications, allowing users to access both video viewing and search functions through the display device itself without switching between applications or devices.
3Loss of information
If users manually search for products, people, music, or places in videos, then they can use existing search methods, but they cannot accurately and easily find the specific elements appearing in the video
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing video content and extracting key elements (products, people, music, places) without requiring user input for each search. The video content itself provides the search data through automatic recognition and extraction technologies. When a user searches for an element, the system automatically matches the query with pre-extracted video elements and provides accurate results with direct links to the relevant video scenes, eliminating the need for complex manual search procedures.
