Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital signage devices are deployed across multiple locations, then service coverage is improved, but management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and multiple digital signage devices. The server receives management commands from the mobile terminal and distributes them to the appropriate digital signage devices, thereby simplifying the management architecture and reducing the complexity of managing devices across multiple locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal is designed with a signage application that provides universal management capabilities for digital signage devices. The application can perform multiple functions including monitoring, control, and management of various digital signage devices through a single interface, enabling one device to manage multiple targets efficiently.
2Productivity
If real-time monitoring of digital signage devices is implemented, then operational efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where digital signage devices transmit their status information (including error statuses and approval statuses) to the server, which then relays this information to the mobile terminal. This automated feedback loop enables real-time monitoring without requiring complex manual checking procedures, improving operational efficiency while keeping the system manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The digital signage devices automatically provide their status information to the server without requiring manual intervention. The devices self-report their operational states, error conditions, and content approval statuses, enabling the system to gather monitoring data passively and reducing the complexity of implementing real-time monitoring.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive status information is displayed, then management accuracy is improved, but information processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the status information into distinct categories such as approval status information for multiple items and error status information for digital signage devices. The main screen displays these segmented information types in an organized manner, allowing comprehensive monitoring while processing and presenting information in manageable units rather than as a single large data set.
Data Source
AI summary
An operating method for a mobile terminal, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, comprises the steps of: executing a signage application for providing a digital signage service; accessing a server according to the execution of the signage application; receiving information on the digital signage service from the accessed server; and displaying a main screen for managing a digital signage device on the basis of the received information, wherein the main screen includes approval state information for providing approval states of a plurality of items and error state information of one or more digital signage devices managed by the server.
