Problem

Existing media sharing and communication systems do not effectively allow individuals to interact and enjoy events, such as television programming, together from different locations, despite advancements in networking and communication technologies.

Innovation Solution

A media and shopping interface system that enables users to connect their mobile devices with media screens, using artificial intelligence to recognize and tag purchasable items within media content, and providing a one-click purchase function for seamless transactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If networking systems provide message sharing and profile exchange, then individuals can maintain contact at distance, but the systems do not effectively replace the ability for individuals to interact together during events and television programming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capabilityVSAvoidinteractive experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a media sharing system that acts as an intermediary platform, allowing users to share and watch media content together remotely. The system mediates between geographically separated users, enabling them to experience events and programming together through synchronized playback and real-time communication features, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining distance and enabling interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If users interact with media content to purchase items, then shopping convenience is improved, but media playback may be disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshopping convenienceVSAvoidmedia playback continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-tagging items within media content with purchase information before playback begins. This allows the system to recognize and prepare purchase options in advance, enabling users to interact with shopping features without interrupting the media playback flow, thus resolving the contradiction between shopping convenience and playback continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional networking systems are used, then basic communication is enabled, but the ability to enjoy events and programming together from different locations is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetworking capabilityVSAvoidshared experience quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a multi-functional system that combines media playback, real-time communication, item recognition, and e-commerce capabilities into a single platform. This universal system enables users to not only communicate but also share and interact with media content together remotely, achieving reliable shared experiences across different locations that traditional networking systems cannot provide.

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