Solution Overview

Problem

Existing techniques for session connections between terminal devices and servers do not adequately structure content based on device environments, limiting the adaptability and freedom in user environments.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes a session control unit to separate media information based on terminal device profiles, a content structuring unit to tailor content for each device, and a transmitting unit to deliver structured content to each terminal device, enabling flexible content delivery across diverse environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the same session connection technique is used for all terminal devices, then the system structure is simple, but the adaptability to different user environments is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user environmentVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments media information into multiple types (video, audio, subtitle, etc.) and separates them based on terminal device profiles. The session control unit divides the content delivery process into distinct components that can be independently configured for different device types, enabling tailored content delivery without requiring a complete system redesign for each device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing terminal device profiles in advance that contain device-specific information (screen resolution, audio capabilities, supported formats). These profiles are pre-configured and stored, allowing the session control unit to quickly determine appropriate content separation and structuring without real-time analysis, thus improving adaptability while maintaining system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If media information is not separated based on terminal device profiles, then the processing complexity is low, but the content delivery flexibility is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by structuring content specifically for each terminal device based on its unique profile characteristics. Different portions of media information are processed and delivered with different qualities and formats according to the specific needs of each device type, rather than using a uniform processing approach for all devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by modifying content delivery parameters (such as resolution, bitrate, format, and composition) based on terminal device profiles. The session control unit adjusts these parameters dynamically according to the target device characteristics, enabling flexible content delivery while managing processing complexity through systematic parameter management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If a unified content transmission method is used for all devices, then the implementation is simple, but the user experience across diverse environments is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoiduser environment adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves universality by creating a multi-functional content delivery system that can handle multiple terminal device types through a single unified architecture. The session control unit and content structuring unit are designed to work with various device profiles without requiring separate implementation for each device type, thus maintaining implementation simplicity while improving environment adaptability.

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