Mobile Terminal Remote Controller Interface Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multimedia devices lack the ability to seamlessly transfer and utilize user viewing and control histories between devices, making it inconvenient for users to resume previously viewed content on mobile terminals.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal and controlling method that allows users to save and retrieve viewing and control histories from a display device, enabling the display of a list of applications and recently viewed content, and dynamically adjust the user interface to facilitate control based on the type of content being displayed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a remote controller application is used to control a display device, then the user can operate the display device from a mobile terminal, but the viewing history and control history are not transferred between devices, requiring the user to manually navigate to find previously viewed content
Solution Approach 1:
The display device pre-stores viewing history and control history information in its memory before the user needs to resume content. When a mobile terminal connects, this pre-stored history information is automatically transferred to the mobile terminal, allowing the user to immediately see and select previously viewed content without manual navigation or time-consuming searching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mobile terminal displays a generic remote controller interface, then it can control various display devices, but it cannot provide context-specific control options based on the type of content currently displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The remote controller application interface dynamically changes its configuration based on the type of content detected on the display device. The mobile terminal identifies the content type (e.g., video, image, presentation) and automatically adjusts the interface to display relevant control options and parameters specific to that content type, providing context-aware control without requiring manual user configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the mobile terminal continuously monitors the display device's current content and uses this information to adapt the control interface. The display device provides feedback about what content is being displayed, and the mobile terminal uses this feedback to automatically configure the most appropriate control options, creating a responsive and adaptive control system.

AI summary
A mobile terminal including a wireless communication processor configured to receive at least one of first information on a viewing history of a content and second information on at least one application saved in a memory of a preset external display device; a memory configured to store at least one of a preset application, the first information and the second information; a display configured to display an execution screen of the preset application; and a controller configured to display an icon of the at least one application on the execution screen based on the second information, display at least one of a recent content list run on a specific application corresponding to a specific icon and a recommended content list on a prescribed region of the execution screen based on at least one of the first information and the second information, in response to a first touch input to the specific icon among icons of the at least one or more applications.
