Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices consume unnecessary resources by extracting and processing audio fingerprints even when video fingerprints are single-matched, leading to inefficient content identification.

Innovation Solution

A display device that extracts an audio fingerprint only when the corresponding video fingerprint is multi-matched, reducing resource usage by stopping audio fingerprint extraction when video fingerprints are single-matched and transmitting the audio fingerprint to the server for matching.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If audio fingerprint extraction is performed for all content regardless of video fingerprint matching results, then content identification accuracy is maintained, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent identification accuracyVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The content identification process is segmented into two stages: first video fingerprint matching is performed, and only when multi-matching occurs does the system proceed to audio fingerprint extraction. This segmentation allows the system to handle the majority of content cases with the less resource-intensive video fingerprint method while reserving audio fingerprint processing for ambiguous cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of performing both video and audio fingerprint extraction for all content, the system applies partial action by extracting audio fingerprints only when necessary (when video fingerprint multi-matching occurs). This reduces overall resource consumption while maintaining identification accuracy for cases that require it.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Reliability

If audio fingerprint extraction is always performed, then identification accuracy for content with same video frames but different audio frames is ensured, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The identification process is divided into sequential stages where video fingerprint matching is performed first as a quick filter. Only when this stage yields multiple matches does the system proceed to the more time-consuming audio fingerprint extraction, thereby reducing overall processing time while maintaining accuracy when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Video fingerprint matching is performed as a preliminary action before audio fingerprint extraction. This preliminary step quickly resolves most identification cases without requiring the more time-intensive audio processing, thereby reducing overall processing time while ensuring accuracy is maintained for ambiguous cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If video fingerprint matching alone is used for content identification, then processing efficiency is improved, but identification accuracy decreases for content with same video frames but different audio frames

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoididentification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The identification system is segmented into a primary video fingerprint stage for efficient processing of most content, and a secondary audio fingerprint stage for resolving ambiguous cases. This segmentation maintains high processing efficiency for the majority of content while ensuring accurate identification when video frames are identical but audio differs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Video fingerprint matching serves as an intermediary step that filters content before audio fingerprint extraction. It efficiently handles clear-cut cases and only passes ambiguous multi-matched cases to audio fingerprint analysis, thereby maintaining both processing efficiency and identification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
