Multimedia Display Rights Management on Multi-Screen Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of mobile terminals, particularly mobile phones, often receive intrusive unwanted multimedia content such as advertisements on their screens, which they consider too invasive.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for configuring terminals to manage multimedia content display by sending a configuration message with an identifier of content type, screen identifier, and display rights, allowing users to authorize or prohibit content display on specific screens, enabling users to choose where to receive content, including advertisements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multimedia content is displayed on terminal screens to provide information and advertising services, then content delivery capability is improved, but user intrusiveness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal screen is segmented into multiple display zones (first screen area and second screen area), allowing different types of multimedia content to be displayed in different zones. This segmentation enables the system to deliver diverse content while giving users control over what appears where, thus reducing intrusiveness while maintaining content delivery capability.
Solution Approach 2:
Different display zones are assigned different display characteristics and content types. The first screen area may display certain types of content while the second screen area displays other types, allowing local optimization of content display based on user preferences and screen characteristics, thereby reducing overall intrusiveness while maintaining versatile content delivery.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple screens are used to display different types of content, then content display flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal is designed with multiple screens that can serve multiple functions. Each screen can display different types of multimedia content based on configuration parameters, making the device universally adaptable to various content delivery scenarios without requiring separate specialized devices, thus achieving flexibility without proportional complexity increase.
Solution Approach 2:
The display configuration is dynamic and configurable through profile parameters. The system can adaptively assign different content types to different screens based on user profiles and preferences, allowing the device to flexibly respond to different usage scenarios without requiring physical reconfiguration, thereby maintaining simplicity while achieving versatility.
3Ease of operation
If users can configure display rights for different content types on different screens, then user control capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service configuration mechanisms where users can define their own display preferences and content rules through profiles. Users can specify which types of content should be displayed on which screens without requiring complex manual configuration or technical knowledge, thus improving ease of operation while keeping the system relatively simple through automated profile-based management.
Solution Approach 2:
Display configuration parameters and user preferences are pre-defined in profiles before actual content delivery. This preliminary configuration allows the system to automatically determine appropriate screen assignments for different content types without requiring complex real-time decision-making, simplifying the operational complexity while maintaining high user control capability.

AI summary
This terminal (10) comprises at least one screen (E1, E2) and means (AE, 15) for transmitting a configuration message to a system (AS, SC) for broadcasting multimedia contents, said message comprising at least: - an identifier of at least one type of multimedia content; - an identifier of at least one of the screens (E1, E2); and - a right of display defining either permission or prohibition to display a content (VS) on said at least one screen (E1) as a function of the type (TS) of content (VS).
