Media Content Server for Electronic Music Instruments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of electronic equipment lack access to user-generated content (UGC) such as impressions, HowTo, and Tips, as existing systems rely on supplier-provided electronic manuals and require users to search across various internet platforms.
Innovation Solution
A terminal apparatus and electronic equipment that connect to a media content providing server via a communication network, acquiring and displaying a list of media content related to the equipment's operation state, allowing users to easily access UGC from multiple storage sites.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users access various media content information supply sites on the Internet to obtain UGC, then users can find user-generated content, but the operation complexity increases and time is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a media content providing server as an intermediary between users and multiple media content storage sites. The server collects, organizes, and provides UGC from various sources through a unified interface, eliminating the need for users to manually search multiple sites while maintaining comprehensive access to user-generated content
2Loss of information
If users manually search multiple media content storage sites, then comprehensive media content can be found, but the time required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The media content providing server performs preliminary actions by proactively collecting and organizing media content from multiple storage sites before users need it. The server maintains updated information about available content across different sites, so when users request content, it is immediately provided without requiring users to perform time-consuming searches
3Ease of operation
If a centralized interface is provided to access UGC, then ease of operation improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a centralized interface through the media content providing server, which acts as an intermediary layer between users and the complex backend infrastructure. The server handles all complexity of communicating with multiple storage sites, authentication, and content management, while presenting a simple, unified interface to users. This isolates system complexity from the user side
Data Source
AI summary
There are provided a terminal apparatus by which media content relating to a connected electronic equipment can be easily acquired, an electronic equipment which can easily acquire media content relating to the electronic equipment itself, and a program. When a user actually operates an electronic music instrument and changes an operation state, a media content providing server receives state data indicating the operation state after the change from the electronic music instrument through a client terminal, receives a list of media content relating to the electronic music instrument and coincident with a present operation state of the electronic music instrument among a lot of stored media content from many media content storage servers on a communication network based on the state data, and displays it on a display of the client terminal. When the user selects one of media content from the list and instructs acquisition thereof, the media content providing server acquires corresponding media content data from a media content storage server storing it and transmits it to the client terminal.
