Selective Media Asset Grid Update for Mobile Resource Conservation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current media systems consume excessive computational resources when updating media asset displays in interactive grid displays, especially on mobile devices, as all media asset sources are updated regardless of user preference, wasting resources on non-preferred assets.
Innovation Solution
User equipment selectively updates only the media assets related to preferred sources when the user changes the time interval, visually distinguishing preferred from non-preferred assets and only updating the display for preferred sources, thereby conserving resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all media asset sources are updated when time interval changes, then the display is fully updated and accurate, but computational resources are excessively consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the media asset sources into preferred and non-preferred categories based on user preferences. When updating the display, the system selectively updates only the preferred media asset sources while leaving non-preferred sources unchanged. This segmentation allows the system to maintain display accuracy for relevant content while reducing overall computational resource consumption by avoiding unnecessary updates to non-preferred assets.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by treating different media asset sources differently based on their preference status. Preferred media asset sources receive full update treatment to ensure accuracy, while non-preferred sources are excluded from updates. This differentiated approach optimizes computational resources by applying update operations only where necessary and most valuable to the user.
2Quantity of substance
If all media asset sources are updated, then complete information is provided, but resources are wasted on non-preferred assets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and separates preferred media asset sources from non-preferred sources. By identifying and extracting the preferred subset, the system can update only this relevant portion while excluding non-preferred assets from the update process. This extraction approach maintains information completeness for preferred content while eliminating resource waste on non-preferred assets that users are unlikely to access.
3Productivity
If the display updates all media assets, then the display remains current, but computational load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by updating only the subset of media asset sources that are marked as preferred, rather than updating all sources. This partial update approach maintains display completeness for relevant content while significantly reducing computational load. The system performs just enough updates to maintain productivity for user-relevant information, avoiding excessive action on non-preferred assets.
Data Source
AI summary
System and methods for improving interactive grid displays are presented. When the user equipment receives media asset information related to titles of media assets transmitted from media asset sources, an interactive grid is generated and displayed which contains the media asset information. When the user equipment detects a request from the user to update the time interval on the interactive grid display to a new time interval, only the display of media assets related to the preferred media asset sources may be updated to correspond to the new time interval. The display of media assets related to non-preferred media assets sources may not be updated. In some embodiments, the preferred media asset sources may be visually distinguished from non-preferred media asset sources. In some embodiments, the non-preferred media asset sources may be visually distinguished in response to the user input to update the displayed time interval.
