Multimedia Rendering Datum for Live Status Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing method of 'startover' or 'resuming from a prior instant' for live-broadcasted multimedia content fails to distinguish between live and pre-recorded content, leading to a suboptimal user experience and increased CPU load when the time difference between the current and rebroadcasting instants exceeds a certain threshold.
Innovation Solution
A method that requests and adds a datum representative of a rebroadcast content during rendering if the time difference between the current and rebroadcasting instants exceeds a given threshold, allowing the user to be informed that the content is pre-recorded, thereby maintaining a 'Live' notice only when relevant and reducing CPU load by avoiding unnecessary data requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a datum representative of rebroadcast content is added during rendering, then the user is informed that the content is pre-recorded, but the CPU load increases due to unnecessary data transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of data transmission based on the time difference between current and rebroadcasting instants. When the time difference exceeds a threshold, a datum is transmitted to inform users the content is pre-recorded. When the time difference is below the threshold, no datum is transmitted, avoiding unnecessary CPU load and energy consumption.
2Ease of operation
If the content is rendered without distinguishing live and pre-recorded status, then the rendering process is simple, but the user experience is suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different rendering qualities based on content status. When the time difference exceeds the threshold, a datum is added to indicate pre-recorded status, providing localized information enhancement where needed without affecting the overall rendering process complexity.
3Reliability
If a datum is added to indicate rebroadcast status, then the content status is accurately represented, but the data transmission volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the data transmission parameter based on the time difference parameter. A datum is only transmitted when the time difference exceeds a threshold, ensuring accurate content status representation is provided only when necessary, thus avoiding unnecessary data transmission volume increase.

AI summary
A method for managing the reading by a reading device of a content recorded on a data medium. The method includes, upon a read mode access by the reading device to a content recorded and having been broadcast live, a request to add, during the rendering of the rebroadcast content, a datum representative of a reading of a rebroadcast content if the time between the current broadcasting instant and the rebroadcasting instant is greater than a given time.
