Solution Overview

Problem

Consumer media devices do not fully realize their utility when limited to receiving television programs, news broadcasts, and movies, as they do not effectively utilize the potential of packet networks like the Internet for enhancing user experience through additional data content.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for broadcasting data content related to media content using a media device, which includes a media device with a data content extraction module and actions module to process and execute data content, and a communication element to transmit data content to user devices for interactive and augmentative actions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If media devices are limited to receiving and displaying media contents only, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but adaptability and user experience enhancement are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The media device is enhanced with multiple functional modules including a data contents extraction module that separates data from media streams, a data interpreter module that processes extracted data, and a broadcast module that transmits data to external devices. This multi-functional architecture allows the media device to serve both traditional media playback and data broadcasting purposes, thereby improving adaptability without requiring completely separate systems

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

2Productivity

If media devices extract and broadcast data contents from media streams, then user experience and adaptability are improved, but device complexity and processing requirements are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience enhancementVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The data processing functionality is divided into distinct modular components: a data contents extraction module that separates data from media streams, a data interpreter module that processes the extracted data, and a broadcast module that transmits data to external devices. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, managing complexity through functional decomposition while enabling enhanced user experience through comprehensive data processing capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
