Content Playback Speed Switching Using Last-Used Settings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user interfaces for switching playback speed in content playback require a two-step operation, involving displaying a list of options and selecting one, which is cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
An information processing terminal with a one-step switching function that automatically sets the playback speed to the previously used speed by pressing a button once, allowing seamless transition without the need for additional selection from a list.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a list of playback speed options is displayed and the user selects one, then the playback speed can be changed, but the operation requires two steps (displaying list and selecting option) which increases operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically recalling and applying the previously used playback speed when the user initiates a speed switching operation. Instead of requiring the user to manually select from a list, the system pre-preares the last known speed setting and applies it automatically, reducing the operation to a single step.
Solution Approach 2:
The system serves itself by automatically determining and applying the appropriate playback speed based on historical usage data. The control unit autonomously retrieves the previously used speed setting and applies it without requiring explicit user selection, making the system self-serve the user's needs.
2Productivity
If a list of playback speed options is displayed for user selection, then playback speed switching is enabled, but the time required for switching increases due to the two-step operation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-loading the previously used playback speed setting into memory and preparing it for immediate application. When the user triggers a speed switching operation, the system already has the appropriate speed ready to apply, eliminating the time-consuming list display and selection process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system skips the intermediate step of displaying and selecting from a list of options. By directly applying the previously used playback speed through a single button press, the system rushes through the speed switching process, eliminating unnecessary delays associated with list navigation.

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing terminal, an information processing method, and a program, each of which makes it possible to easily switch a setting regarding playback of content.An information processing terminal according to an aspect of the present technology starts playback of content by using a default value as a setting value of a predetermined setting regarding playback, and controls the playback of the content so that, in a case where a switching operation for switching the predetermined setting is performed, the content is played back by using a setting value selected during previous playback. The present technology is applicable to a smartphone in which various applications can be installed to extend a function thereof.
