Media Service List Integration via Location-Based Merging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing broadcasting systems rely on specific service providers for media service lists, limiting user access to integrated and updated broadcasting information across multiple operators.
Innovation Solution
A method to acquire, integrate, and provide user-oriented media service lists by receiving location information about multiple media service lists, merging them, and transmitting an integrated list to a terminal, which includes media packages and channels, allowing users to access information from various providers without dependency on a single operator.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a specific broadcasting operator creates and transmits its own service list, then the service list can be provided reliably through a dedicated system, but users become dependent on a single operator and cannot access integrated information from multiple providers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a terminal device as an intermediary that receives service lists from multiple broadcasting operators, integrates them, and provides a unified interface to users. This mediator enables users to access integrated information from multiple providers without direct dependency on any single operator, while maintaining reliable service delivery through systematic integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines service lists from multiple broadcasting operators into a single integrated service list at the terminal device. By merging multiple separate service lists into one unified list, the system provides users with comprehensive access to information from all operators through a single interface, eliminating the need for users to separately access each operator's service list.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple service providers transmit separate service lists, then each provider maintains control over its own service information, but users face complexity in accessing and integrating information from multiple sources
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device serves as a mediator that handles the complexity of integrating multiple service lists. Each broadcasting operator can independently transmit its service list while maintaining control over its own service information, and the terminal device automatically integrates these separate lists into a unified view for users, eliminating the need for users to manually manage the complexity of multiple sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device automatically performs the integration of multiple service lists without requiring user intervention. The system self-manages the complexity of combining information from multiple providers by automatically receiving, processing, and merging the service lists, thereby reducing the operational complexity for users while preserving provider independence.
3Measurement precision
If service lists are provided by individual operators separately, then each operator can maintain its own service information accurately, but users experience loss of information when accessing multiple separate lists
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate service lists into a single integrated service list that preserves all information from each broadcasting operator. By combining the service lists at the terminal device, the system maintains the accuracy of individual operator information while preventing information loss that would occur if users had to access multiple separate lists, providing a complete view of all available services.
