Interactive Media Frame Remote Browsing and Editing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional media systems are cumbersome and restrictive for browsing, editing, and displaying media, as they require users to access and manipulate files individually, lack user customization, and are not designed for portable or remote use.
Innovation Solution
An interactive media frame that allows remote access, editing, and organization of media via a dedicated unit, which can cache media from multiple locations, use metadata for categorization and annotation, and employ artificial intelligence for automatic media handling, enabling portable and personalized media experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional media systems are used for browsing and editing media, then media can be accessed and manipulated, but the systems are cumbersome and require users to access files individually, making the process time-consuming and tedious
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments media files into multiple pages within each media object, allowing users to navigate through different pages of the same media item. This segmentation enables efficient browsing and editing by organizing media content into manageable units, reducing the time required to access specific portions of media files.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating thumbnails, extracting metadata, and organizing media files into structured formats before user access. This preliminary processing enables rapid retrieval and browsing, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate through entire media files and significantly reducing access time.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional media systems provide media storage and display, then media can be stored and viewed, but the systems are rigid and limit user ability to personalize the experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic personalization features that adapt to user preferences and behaviors. The system allows users to customize media display parameters, browsing preferences, and organization methods, transforming a rigid system into a flexible, user-adaptive platform that evolves based on individual usage patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables parameter changes by allowing users to modify various aspects of media presentation and management, including display settings, organization criteria, and access methods. These parameter adjustments provide personalization capabilities without fundamentally altering the core system architecture.
3Ease of operation
If conventional media systems allow media viewing, then media can be displayed, but the systems require users to open respective files individually, making the process tedious for regular use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal media framework where a single media object can contain multiple pages and types of content. This multi-functional approach allows users to access diverse media content through a unified interface, eliminating the need to open separate files for different media types and significantly improving viewing convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary layer that manages media file access and presentation. This intermediary framework handles file opening, navigation, and display operations automatically, allowing users to view media content without manually opening individual files, thus reducing the tedious nature of regular media use.
4Speed
If conventional media systems provide file access, then media can be retrieved, but the systems are complex and incomprehensible for quick retrieval and use
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary organization and indexing of media files, creating a structured framework with metadata and thumbnails before user retrieval needs arise. This advance preparation enables rapid media retrieval without requiring users to navigate complex system structures, achieving both speed and simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of detail and access methods for different media objects. The system presents simplified views for quick retrieval while maintaining comprehensive organizational structures in the background, allowing fast access without exposing system complexity to users.

AI summary
The present invention provides a unique system and method that facilitates remote browsing, viewing, and manipulating any suitable number of media items from a host location. In particular, the invention involves pulling desired media items from one or more host locations to view and/or edit them on a remote interactive media display, thereby freeing up use of the host location/computer. The media items sent to the remote interactive media display via wireless or wired connection are easily edited, organized, and viewed in any suitable order, arrangement, and timed-cycle with respect to per item viewing as well as viewing of items coincident with a real time calendar. The media items can be annotated and otherwise modified from the remote display and saved to the host location. The remote interactive media frame also includes a local storage for storing media items, thereby facilitating portability of the media frame when disconnected from the host.
