Intelligent Display Interface Scene Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Higher end televisions with complex user interfaces struggle to provide intuitive access to numerous features, leading to frustrating navigation for users.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus equipped with user input circuitry, a processor, and non-transitory computer readable media that executes instruction code to search for specific scenes in video content using metadata, updating the user interface to depict relevant scene images, facilitating intuitive navigation through machine learning techniques.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the user interface includes more features and controls, then the functionality and versatility of the display apparatus is improved, but the complexity of the user interface increases making it more difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates scene thumbnails and organizes video content without requiring manual user configuration. The processor autonomously analyzes video metadata, identifies scene boundaries, and creates a navigable interface structure, allowing the system to serve itself in preparing the user interface rather than requiring users to manually set up complex navigation structures
Solution Approach 2:
The video content is divided into discrete scene segments with individual thumbnails, allowing users to navigate through specific scenes rather than scrolling through entire videos. This segmentation transforms a overwhelming continuous interface into manageable discrete units, reducing perceived complexity while maintaining access to all video content
2Ease of operation
If the user interface provides detailed controls for all features, then the ease of operation for specific tasks is improved, but the overall complexity of the interface increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of video content to pre-generate scene thumbnails and organize metadata before the user needs to navigate. This advance preparation creates an ready-to-use navigable structure that makes operation easy without requiring the user to understand or configure the underlying complex organization system
Solution Approach 2:
Scene thumbnails serve as intermediary elements between the user and the detailed video content. Instead of presenting users with raw video data or complex control structures, the thumbnails provide an intuitive visual mediator that simplifies navigation while maintaining access to detailed content through scene selection

AI summary
A display apparatus includes presence detection circuitry for detecting an individual in proximity to the display apparatus; a display for displaying video content and a user interface; a processor in communication with the user input circuitry, the display, and the search history database; and non-transitory computer readable media in communication with the processor that stores instruction code. The instruction code is executed by the processor and causes the processor to: a) determine, from the presence detection circuitry, a user in proximity of the display apparatus; b) determine one or more program types associated with the user; c) determine available programs that match the predicted one or more programs; and d) update the user interface to depict a listing of one or more of the available programs that match the predicted one or more programs.
