Solution Overview

Problem

Many users are unaware of the availability of chatting services on their electronic apparatuses, especially when watching specific content, leading to underutilization of these services.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus equipped with a communicator, memory, and processor that identifies and highlights relevant time points in content-related images or audio, prompting users to participate in chatting services through text information and user interface outputs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If chatting services are provided for content, then user interaction and engagement are improved, but user awareness and participation remain low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechatting service availabilityVSAvoiduser awareness of chatting service
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of content to identify key moments, objects, and information before the user reaches them. This allows the system to proactively present chatting service opportunities at the right moments, rather than waiting for users to discover them independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system analyzes user viewing behavior, chat participation patterns, and content characteristics to continuously improve its identification of optimal moments and methods for promoting chatting services. This feedback loop increases user awareness by adapting to individual user preferences and behaviors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If the system highlights all important time points in content, then user awareness of chatting opportunities is improved, but information overload and user distraction increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechatting service awarenessVSAvoiduser distraction from content
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of uniformly highlighting all time points, the system applies different highlighting strategies to different portions of content based on their characteristics. Critical moments receive targeted attention through subtle cues, while less important segments receive minimal or no highlighting, maintaining content immersion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system selectively highlights only the most critical moments for chatting service promotion rather than all important moments. This partial action approach prevents information overload while ensuring users don't miss key interaction opportunities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If the system provides detailed text information about content at highlighted time points, then chatting service participation is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechatting service participation rateVSAvoidtext information processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most essential information from content at highlighted moments, presenting concise text that captures key points without requiring comprehensive analysis. This extraction approach maintains high participation rates while minimizing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the level of text information detail based on user preferences, device capabilities, and context. By changing parameters such as text length, complexity, and presentation format, the system optimizes the balance between engagement and processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
