Preview Content Generation for Digital Broadcasting Standby Latency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital broadcasting systems take several minutes to download, load, and parse data broadcasting applications, leading to user disinterest during standby times, as they provide irrelevant information during this period.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that generate and transmit preview contents related to data broadcasting applications during standby times, using a preview contents generating server to analyze user information and output relevant data, such as weather or stock updates, to keep users engaged.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the system downloads and loads application data using conventional methods, then the application service can be provided, but the standby time becomes too long (several minutes)
Solution Approach 1:
The system generates and transmits preview contents before the user actually requests the application service. During the standby time when application data is being downloaded and loaded, the terminal displays preview contents that are prepared in advance, making the system appear responsive and reducing the perceived waiting time for users.
Solution Approach 2:
Preview contents serve as an intermediary element between the application data download process and the user interface. Instead of showing a blank or loading screen during the several-minute download period, the system provides meaningful preview content that represents what the user will eventually see, bridging the gap between data transmission and service delivery.
2Ease of operation
If the system displays generic information during standby time, then the display is active, but the information is irrelevant and does not stimulate user interest
Solution Approach 1:
The preview contents are customized according to the specific application being downloaded. Instead of displaying generic or uniform content for all applications, the system generates preview content that is locally adapted to each application's topic and characteristics, making the displayed information relevant and interesting to users regardless of which application is being loaded.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and a system for providing application service are disclosed. The method of providing application service in a digital data broadcasting system coupled to at least one broadcasting terminal through a network includes generating a preview contents by using first data combined with an application for data broadcasting service, wherein the preview contents has second data provided when a user requests the application service, and transmitting the generated preview contents to the broadcasting terminal. Here, the broadcasting terminal outputs the preview contents before data broadcasting standby time. Accordingly, useful information may be provided to the user before the application is executed.
