Solution Overview

Problem

Current display apparatuses require users to manually input keywords through web browsers or applications to access content-related services, which is inconvenient and time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus that displays a keyword related to the content image on the screen, allowing users to change service categories and identifiers using intuitive input instructions, and automatically transmits user preference information to external devices for personalized service provision.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually input keywords through web browsers or applications to access content-related services, then the system can provide service-related content, but the operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessing content-related servicesVSAvoidtime required to obtain search result
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically extracting keywords from the displayed content image and pre-configuring service-related information before the user needs to access it. The controller automatically obtains service-related information corresponding to the displayed content image without requiring the user to manually search or input keywords, thus saving time and effort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically generating and displaying service-related information based on the content image itself. The controller extracts keywords from the content image and automatically presents relevant services without requiring user intervention for keyword input, allowing the system to serve itself in providing relevant content information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If the display apparatus automatically provides service-related information based on displayed content, then user convenience is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessing content-related servicesVSAvoidcomplexity of service information processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The controller performs multiple functions including displaying the content image, extracting keywords from the image, obtaining service-related information, and presenting both the image and service information to the user. By integrating these multiple functions into a single controller, the system achieves multi-functionality that simplifies the overall device architecture while providing comprehensive service-related content.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The controller acts as an intermediary between the content image and the service-related information. It automatically extracts keywords from the displayed content image and mediates the connection to relevant service information, simplifying the user interaction while managing the complexity of information processing internally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If the system displays service-related information and keywords on the screen, then users can easily access desired content, but the screen space for content display is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessing content-related servicesVSAvoiddisplay area available for content
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is segmented into different regions: one region displays the content image while another region displays the extracted keywords and service-related information. This segmentation allows both content display and service information presentation to coexist without interfering with each other, providing easy access to services while maintaining content visibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes the temporal dimension by displaying service-related information and keywords during the content playback period. Instead of reducing spatial area, the system adds information layers in the time dimension, allowing users to access service information while the content plays without permanently sacrificing display area for static information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
