Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when trying to purchase, share, or present multimedia content from smartphones, as they need to directly access online markets, and there is no existing function for seamless content transfer or sharing between devices.
Innovation Solution
A user terminal and in-app service server system that allows multimedia content transactions, sharing, and presentation without accessing online markets, featuring an in-app module for requesting and executing these services, enabling communication and data transmission between terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users directly connect to an online market to purchase multimedia content, then the content can be acquired, but the process becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an online market server as an intermediary between the user terminal and content sources. The terminal agent communicates with the server, which handles content delivery, allowing users to purchase and receive content without directly accessing online markets or managing complex download processes themselves
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal agent automatically manages content acquisition, download, and delivery processes on behalf of the user. The system enables self-service content purchase where the agent handles the transaction and content transfer without requiring user intervention in the complex processes
2Adaptability or versatility
If no content sharing function is provided between terminals, then system complexity remains low, but users cannot share or present content to friends or other devices
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal agent serves multiple functions: it acts as a user interface for requesting services, manages content purchase, handles content sharing between terminals, and enables content presentation to other devices. This multi-functional agent reduces the need for separate systems for each function
Solution Approach 2:
The online market server acts as a mediator that receives content sharing requests from one terminal and delivers content to another terminal. This intermediary approach enables content sharing without requiring direct peer-to-peer connections or complex terminal-to-terminal protocols
3Ease of operation
If users must access online markets to purchase content, then content can be obtained, but the process lacks convenience and requires direct market connection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the content delivery and transaction management functions from the online market environment and places them in a dedicated terminal agent and online market server system. This separation allows content purchase and delivery to occur through a simplified interface without requiring users to directly access or navigate online markets
Solution Approach 2:
The online market server serves as an intermediary that handles all complex transaction processes, authentication, and content delivery logistics. The terminal agent interfaces with this server, shielding users from the complexity of online market operations while enabling convenient content acquisition
Data Source
AI summary
A user terminal providing an in-app service and an in-app service server are provided. The user terminal includes an in-app module configured to be connected to the in-app service server and configured to transmit a multimedia content purchase request, a present request, and a share request to the in-app service server, and a terminal agent installed in an operating system of the user terminal, automatically driven when the user terminal is booted, and operating as a user interface for requesting the in-app service. The in-app service server includes an in-app module interworking unit configured to interwork with an in-app module of a user terminal, and a service controller configured to implement the in-app service when the in-app service is requested.
