Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image devices and content delivery systems lack efficient methods to provide personalized content push services to multiple users, failing to differentiate services based on individual user needs and settings.

Innovation Solution

An image device and server system that utilizes a communication unit, display unit, and application controller to manage user authentication, token generation, and content delivery, allowing for personalized push services by determining active services and user connections, and transmitting relevant content based on user IDs and tokens.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a push service is provided to multiple users through a server, then content delivery capability is improved, but service personalization and user differentiation are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery capabilityVSAvoidservice personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the content delivery service by introducing user-specific tokens that link user IDs to content IDs. Each user receives personalized content push notifications based on their individual preferences and settings, rather than a generic broadcast to all users. This segmentation enables the system to handle multiple users with differentiated service requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the content provider and multiple image devices. The server manages user authentication, token generation, and content routing, enabling personalized content delivery to each user while maintaining efficient centralized management. This intermediary resolves the contradiction by providing both scalability and personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If user authentication and token management are implemented, then service security and personalization are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal token mechanism that serves multiple functions: user authentication, content personalization, and service authorization. This single token system handles various security and personalization requirements without requiring separate complex authentication systems for each function, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high security standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If content is pushed to logged-in users based on user ID and token matching, then content accuracy and user relevance are improved, but processing time and authentication overhead increase

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs user authentication and token generation in advance during the login process. The user ID and token are established before content delivery begins, allowing the system to quickly match and push relevant content without performing complex authentication operations in real-time. This preliminary action reduces processing delays during content delivery while maintaining high content accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An image device, a receiving method of contents, a server, and a providing method of contents are provided. The image device includes: a communication unit which communicates with a server that provides content received from a content provider; a display unit; at least one application execution unit which executes the content; and an application controller which controls the communication unit to receive the content corresponding to a log-in user from the server and displays, on the display unit, reception information indicating reception of the content based on a user ID for the log-in user to be logged in to the image device and a token which matches the user ID to a content ID for the log-in user to be connected to the content provider.
