Mobile Digital TV Signal Aggregation for Media Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for providing digital media on mobile platforms face challenges in efficiently delivering high-resolution digital signage and television content, as they often require complex and costly infrastructure to handle both real-time video and non-real-time media streams simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a single mobile digital television signal that combines broadcast video and auxiliary media files using different transmission protocols, allowing for efficient storage and display on mobile platforms by separating real-time video and non-real-time media, enabling legible digital signage within a smaller display area and reducing resource complexity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate receivers are used for broadcast video and digital signage media files, then reliability of content delivery is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the functionality of separate receivers into a single integrated receiver that can handle both broadcast video signals and auxiliary media files. The receiver is configured to simultaneously process real-time video streams and non-real-time digital signage content, eliminating the need for multiple separate receivers while maintaining reliable content delivery through unified signal processing and synchronization mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The receiver is designed with multi-functional capabilities to handle diverse content types through a single device. It can selectively process broadcast video signals for real-time display and auxiliary media files for digital signage, adapting its processing mode based on content requirements. This universal approach reduces device complexity while ensuring reliable delivery of both real-time and non-real-time content.
2Productivity
If multiple receivers are deployed for concurrent content presentation, then productivity of content delivery is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple receiver functions into a single integrated receiver that can concurrently process broadcast video and auxiliary media files. The unified architecture enables simultaneous content delivery to multiple displays without requiring separate receivers, thereby maintaining high productivity while reducing system complexity. The receiver includes integrated processing units that handle different content types in parallel through a single device.
3Manufacturing precision
If high-resolution digital signage is displayed on mobile platforms, then manufacturing precision of display content is improved, but area of display increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display content into distinct types: broadcast video for real-time presentation and auxiliary media files for digital signage. By separating these content types and processing them through different pathways within the single receiver, the system can deliver high-resolution digital signage content efficiently. The segmentation allows optimized processing of each content type, enabling high manufacturing precision without requiring excessive display area on mobile platforms.
