IoT Terminal Interactive Content Delivery via Wireless Mediator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the Internet of Things (IoT) environment, there is a need for terminals to efficiently receive and provide additional content corresponding to captured images, such as coupons, text, or URLs, to users through wireless communication, while allowing user interaction and managing content expiration or multiple content types.
Innovation Solution
A terminal equipped with a first communication interface to transmit image capturing signals and a second interface to receive additional content from a server, along with a processor to provide this content in response to user interaction regions, enabling interactive content generation and management, including setting user interaction regions, updating their positions, and handling content expiration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the terminal receives additional content from a server through wireless communication, then the user can access relevant information such as coupons or descriptions, but the terminal requires multiple communication interfaces and coordination with external devices, increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a wireless communication device as an intermediary between the terminal and the server. The wireless communication device receives the image capturing signal from the terminal, requests additional content from the server, and transmits it back to the terminal. This mediator approach simplifies the terminal's communication requirements while enabling access to additional content.
Solution Approach 2:
The system divides the content delivery function into separate components: the terminal captures images, the wireless communication device handles server communication, and the server stores and provides additional content. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in its function, reducing the complexity of any single device.
2Ease of operation
If the terminal provides additional content in response to user interaction regions, then user experience is enhanced through interactive content, but the system requires processing and management of multiple content types and interaction dynamics
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal pre-processes the captured image to identify user interaction regions before receiving additional content. By preparing the interaction regions in advance, the terminal can quickly present relevant content when users interact with these regions, enhancing user experience while managing processing complexity through advance preparation.
3Reliability
If the terminal manages content expiration and multiple content types, then content relevance is maintained, but the processing and management requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the terminal monitors content expiration and user interactions. When content expires or user interaction patterns change, the system automatically requests updated additional content from the server, ensuring content relevance without requiring complex manual management.
