Playback Interface Triggering Extended Options via Preliminary Action
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current viewing experiences lack enhanced options for users to interact with and manipulate content during playback, requiring significant user input and not fully leveraging opportunities for improved engagement.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system where specific user actions, such as changing the playback mode, trigger extended options like tagged item identification, media identification, and social media integration, allowing users to access additional information and control content without additional input, utilizing facial and object recognition technologies and metadata.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides enhanced viewing options and extended features during playback, then user engagement and viewing experience are improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs facial recognition, object recognition, and metadata extraction in advance during content playback. When a triggering event occurs (pause, rewind, fast-forward), the enhanced options are immediately available because the processing was already completed beforehand, eliminating the need for complex real-time computation during user interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that sits between the content playback system and the user interface. This intermediary layer handles the complex tasks of recognizing faces, objects, and extracting metadata, then presents simplified enhanced options to the user. This mediator absorbs the system complexity while providing versatile viewing options.
2Ease of operation
If the system automatically provides extended options upon triggering events, then user input requirements are reduced, but information processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs information extraction, facial recognition, and object recognition in advance during normal playback. When triggering events occur, the pre-processed information is immediately available for display, reducing both user input requirements and real-time processing load.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects triggering events and provides relevant enhanced options without requiring users to manually search or request additional information. The system serves itself by autonomously processing content and presenting contextualized options, minimizing user effort while distributing processing load over time.

AI summary
Techniques for enhancing a user's viewing experience include providing new opportunities for viewing information or manipulating data during the viewing experience. The user may take an action that has an intended purpose of changing a mode of play of content displayed at the client device. An event prompted by the user action, such as a pause or rewind of the displayed content, may be an event that triggers at least one extended option associated with the displayed content.
