Multifunctional Display Platform for Broadcast and Interactive Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display devices lack the capability to efficiently manage and customize multimedia content display and adjustments for users, particularly in broadcasting systems, where interactive and on-demand services are not seamlessly integrated with traditional broadcast content.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of an image display apparatus with a broadcasting system architecture that includes a Content Provider, Service Provider, and Network Provider, utilizing a platform with components like a broadcast interface, section filter, application data processor, media player, and runtime module to handle both linear and non-linear A/V content, enabling interactive services and customized content delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional broadcast content display is used, then content delivery is simple, but user interaction and customization capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is transformed into a multi-functional platform that simultaneously supports traditional broadcast content reception, interactive service access, and multimedia playback. The controller executes different applications (broadcast application, interactive service application, media player application) based on received signals, enabling the single device to perform multiple content delivery functions and user interaction modes without requiring separate dedicated devices for each function type.
2Adaptability or versatility
If display device functionality is expanded to include interactive services, then user capabilities are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system architecture is segmented into distinct functional modules: a broadcast interface for receiving broadcast signals, an application processor for executing different applications, a media player for handling multimedia files, and a controller for coordinating operations. This modular segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining expanded functionality for both traditional broadcast and interactive services.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller acts as an intermediary that receives control signals from remote controllers or other external devices and directs appropriate applications or functions based on the signal type. This intermediary layer simplifies the interface between user input and complex system functions, managing the transition between broadcast mode, interactive service mode, and media playback mode without requiring users to understand the underlying system complexity.
3Productivity
If unified platform for broadcast and interactive services is implemented, then content management is improved, but processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its processing mode based on the type of content being delivered. When receiving traditional broadcast signals, the system activates the broadcast interface and corresponding broadcast application with appropriate processing resources. When interactive services are requested, the system switches to the application processor and media player application with enhanced processing capabilities. This dynamic resource allocation allows efficient content management across different service types while optimizing power consumption by activating only the necessary processing components for each task.
Data Source
AI summary
A multifunctional display device includes a processor to control display of at least one of a broadcast signal, data packets or signals from the remote controller. Also, a home screen includes a first area displaying a program, a second area displaying one or more card objects, and a third area having a prescribed number of applications. The home screen may be changed to display additional applications when an icon is selected using a remote controller.
