Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

The manual selection of media for events is often labor-intensive and fails to resonate with the intended audience, as it is limited by system characteristics, licensing constraints, and the availability of media on devices, leading to suboptimal presentation experiences.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a processor that receives media characteristic data, identifies and scores suitable media based on predefined criteria, and determines the timing of presentation to synchronize media with events, ensuring that the presented media aligns with the event's characteristics and audience preferences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual selection of media is used for events, then the creator can choose media they feel is appropriate, but the selection process is labor-intensive and the media may not resonate with the intended audience

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemedia selection processVSAvoidselection efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically selects media by analyzing event characteristics and matching them with suitable media from a database, eliminating the need for manual selection. The processor autonomously performs media selection based on event data, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and selection efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical selection process with an automated computational system. The processor uses algorithms to analyze event characteristics and automatically retrieve matching media, substituting human effort with automated information processing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual media selection is performed, then the creator has control over media choice, but the process requires voluntary participation and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemedia customizationVSAvoidtime for media selection

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-organizes media in a database with associated characteristics and metadata before events occur. When an event happens, the processor quickly queries the pre-organized database for matching media, eliminating time-consuming search and selection processes while maintaining customization through characteristic-based matching.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If media presentation is limited by system characteristics and licensing constraints, then device compatibility is maintained, but the ability to present appropriate media is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem compatibilityVSAvoidmedia presentation capability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system tailors media selection to specific device characteristics, event types, and licensing constraints by analyzing local conditions. The processor selects media that are compatible with the specific device's capabilities and licensing agreements, ensuring reliability while adapting to local requirements through characteristic-based matching.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality
