Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional digital broadcast systems face challenges in effectively advertising content to users, as they often rely on still images or separate broadcast channels for synopsis moving pictures, which can be insufficient in engaging users and inconvenient for content access.

Innovation Solution

A multi-picture searching service system and method that transmits and receives a multi-moving picture, including multiple moving pictures associated with various contents, along with related data and configuration information, to create a dynamic searching view on user terminals, allowing users to interactively select and focus on specific content advertisements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If still images and text synopses are used to advertise content, then information can be provided to users, but user engagement and interest are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent information deliveryVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple moving pictures representing different contents into a single multi-moving picture stream, along with related data and configuration information. This merging approach allows users to view multiple content advertisements simultaneously in an interactive manner, significantly improving user engagement compared to traditional still images or text synopses while efficiently delivering comprehensive content information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from two-dimensional still images to multi-dimensional moving pictures by incorporating temporal dimension (video playback) and spatial dimension (multiple pictures arranged in grid patterns). Users can interactively navigate through different content advertisements by moving a focus point across the multi-moving picture, creating an immersive advertising experience that enhances both information delivery and user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of manufacture

If synopsis moving pictures are broadcast on separate channels, then user interest can be aroused, but users must wait for desired information due to unilateral broadcasting characteristics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interest generationVSAvoidcontent access time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the multi-moving picture into multiple independent moving picture segments, each representing different content advertisements. Related data and configuration information are also segmented to correspond with each moving picture segment. This segmentation allows users to quickly navigate to and select specific content of interest without waiting for sequential broadcasting, eliminating the time loss associated with traditional unidirectional broadcast methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements an interactive feedback mechanism where user input (such as remote control operations) directly influences the display by moving the focus point to different moving pictures within the multi-moving picture. This real-time feedback loop allows users to actively control content access, immediately retrieving desired information without the passive waiting experience of traditional broadcasting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of manufacture

If multiple content advertisements are provided interactively, then user engagement improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal multi-moving picture structure that can accommodate multiple different content advertisements within a single standardized format. The configuration information defines a consistent framework for arranging moving pictures, related data, and metadata, allowing the system to handle diverse content types uniformly. This multi-functionality approach enables rich user engagement without proportionally increasing system complexity, as the same structural framework serves multiple advertising purposes.

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