Solution Overview

Problem

In multi-user environments, existing technologies often interrupt users watching content on a single display device with notifications from other content, lacking user-customized notification and control solutions.

Innovation Solution

A digital device and method that provide user-customized notifications and control, allowing communication-connected external mobile terminals to receive personalized content lists, application lists, and advertisement lists, minimizing interruptions by transmitting event occurrence signals only to interested users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If information notification for another content is displayed on a display unit in a multi-user environment, then multiple users can access the display device, but it causes interruptions to users watching specific content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-user access capabilityVSAvoidinterruption to content viewing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing customized notifications tailored to each user's interests and preferences. Different users receive different notification contents based on their personalization settings, allowing the system to adapt to individual needs while maintaining multi-user access without universal interruptions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The notification system is segmented by user, with each user having their own notification preferences, content lists, and customization settings. This segmentation allows the display device to manage multiple user profiles independently, delivering notifications only to interested users rather than broadcasting to all users simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a common screen is displayed for multiple users instead of personalized screens, then notification interruptions are reduced, but user-customized notification capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenotification interruptionVSAvoiduser-customized notification
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts notification behavior based on the current user context. When a user is actively viewing content, the system detects this state and suppresses or customizes notifications accordingly. The notification behavior is not static but adapts in real-time to user actions and preferences, resolving the contradiction between reducing interruptions and maintaining customization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of information

If notifications are transmitted to all connected mobile terminals, then information reachability is maximized, but unnecessary interruptions to uninterested users increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation reachabilityVSAvoidunnecessary interruption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where users can indicate their interests in specific content categories, applications, or types of notifications. Based on this feedback, the system intelligently determines which users should receive which notifications, filtering out unnecessary interruptions while ensuring relevant information reaches the right users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The notification system changes parameters such as notification content, timing, and delivery based on user preferences and current context. Instead of a uniform notification approach, the system adjusts multiple parameters to optimize both information reachability and user experience, delivering notifications only when and how users want them

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
