Solution Overview

Problem

Current video display devices lack the ability to independently receive and recognize promotional content within uncompressed audio and video streams, limiting their capability to provide enhanced services without reliance on MVPDs and restricting user interaction to inconvenient text input.

Innovation Solution

A video display device method that obtains uncompressed audio and video content, extracts characteristic information, sets content reminders for related broadcasting information, and notifies users based on their viewing intentions, using a third-party server to provide enhanced services independently of broadcasters or content providers, allowing for features like main audio and video content search, chatting, and digital media download without text input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If video display device receives only uncompressed audio-visual data from broadcast receiving device, then the device can display basic content, but enhanced services and content recognition capabilities are unavailable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenhanced service capabilityVSAvoidsystem dependency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a third-party server as an intermediary between the video display device and the broadcast receiving device. This server receives uncompressed audio-visual data, extracts characteristic information, recognizes promotional content, and provides enhanced services independently, eliminating the need for the video display device to directly depend on MVPD or broadcast receiving device for enhanced services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system separates the enhanced service functionality from the traditional broadcast receiving chain. The video display device is segmented into basic display functions, while content recognition and enhanced service provision are segmented as separate functions handled by the third-party server, allowing independent operation and improved versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If video display device relies on MVPD for enhanced services, then service delivery is possible, but user independence and service customization are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice independenceVSAvoidMVPD dependency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The third-party server acts as an intermediary that replaces MVPD dependency. It independently processes uncompressed audio-visual data, performs content recognition, and delivers enhanced services directly to the video display device, granting users service independence while maintaining system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The third-party server provides self-service capabilities by automatically extracting characteristic information from received data, recognizing promotional content without user intervention, and delivering customized enhanced services based on user preferences, eliminating the need for MVPD-mediated service delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If promotional content recognition is implemented, then enhanced services and user notifications are enabled, but processing requirements and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent recognition capabilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The third-party server serves as a specialized intermediary that handles the complex task of promotional content recognition. It extracts characteristic information from uncompressed audio-visual data, compares it against a database, and identifies promotional content, thereby enabling content recognition capability without increasing the complexity of the video display device itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Measurement precision

If characteristic information extraction is performed on uncompressed audio-video content, then content identification is possible, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent identification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary characteristic information from uncompressed audio-visual content for content identification purposes. This selective extraction approach enables accurate content identification while minimizing processing time and computational resources by focusing only on relevant features rather than processing the entire content stream.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Provided is a operating method of a video display device including a display unit. A receiving unit obtains an uncompressed audio and video content. A content recognition configuration management unit receives information of the uncompressed audio and video content based on a characteristic information of the uncompressed audio and video, sets a content reminder based on the information of the uncompressed audio and video content, wherein the content reminder notifies broadcasting information for another content which is related to the uncompressed audio and video content. And reminds the another content while displaying the broadcasting information of the another content based on the setting of the content reminder.
