Display Apparatus Search Term Recommendation via External Server Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses lack the ability to recommend and correct search terms based on content information, making it difficult for users to find products or places mentioned in broadcasted programs, as they rely solely on image content and do not utilize search terms or query language recommendations from similar viewers.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus and method that transmits image content information to an external server, receives and analyzes search records from viewers watching the same content, and provides recommended or corrected search terms to users in real-time, using information from electronic program guides and captured screens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the search function is based only on image content information, then the device complexity is reduced, but the search accuracy and user experience deteriorate due to lack of search term recommendations
Solution Approach 1:
An external server acts as an intermediary between the display apparatus and the search database. The server receives image content information from the display apparatus, performs sophisticated search term analysis and recommendation generation, then returns results to the display apparatus. This allows accurate search recommendations without increasing the complexity of the display apparatus itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The external server autonomously analyzes image content, extracts relevant search terms, and generates search recommendations without requiring manual intervention. The system automatically processes the search request from the display apparatus, performs the analysis, and provides corrected or recommended search terms back to the user.
2Ease of operation
If search term recommendation from similar viewers is implemented, then the ease of operation is improved, but the loss of information increases due to additional data transmission requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential image content information (such as metadata, captions, or key visual features) from the displayed content and transmits this extracted data to the external server for search term analysis. This minimizes data transmission while still enabling accurate search term recommendation based on similar viewers' behavior.
3Productivity
If real-time search term correction is provided, then the productivity is improved, but the response time increases due to real-time analysis requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The external server pre-processes and analyzes search term patterns from similar viewers' search records in advance, building a database of common search terms and corrections related to various content types. When a search request is made, the system quickly matches the current content against this pre-analyzed data, providing rapid real-time correction without requiring extensive analysis at the moment of searching.
Data Source
AI summary
A display apparatus for searching and a control method thereof are provided. The method includes displaying an image content, determining whether a search function is performed while the image content is displayed, and in response to the determining that the search function is performed while the image content is displayed, transmitting information of the image content to an external server. The method further includes receiving, from the external server, information of a search record of one or more viewers of the image content, and providing information of one or more search terms that are related to the image content, based on the information of the search record.
