Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital platforms face challenges in controlling applications and websites within an entertainment service while maintaining autonomy, particularly in vehicle environments, where seamless control from one device to another is difficult.
Innovation Solution
A privilege auto platform is introduced that enables control of authenticated applications and websites by issuing commands through a defined structure, allowing devices to construct appropriate calls for execution, with online and offline modes supported, and utilizing content IDs and digital rights management to facilitate control across devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If control of applications and websites is enabled across multiple devices within an entertainment service, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a privilege auto platform as an intermediary layer between controller devices and controlled devices. This platform receives control commands from one device, processes them through a defined structure, and executes them on target devices. The intermediary handles the complexity of inter-device communication and control logic, allowing users to control applications and websites across devices through a simple unified interface without each device needing complex peer-to-peer control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The privilege auto platform provides universal control functionality across multiple device types and applications. A single controller device can control various applications and websites on different controlled devices through the platform's standardized command structure. This multi-functional approach allows one control interface to manage diverse targets (different applications, websites, and devices) without requiring separate control mechanisms for each, thereby improving ease of operation while centralizing complexity in the platform.
2Reliability
If autonomy of each application or website is maintained while enabling control from other applications, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments control functionality into distinct components: the privilege auto platform handles command routing and authentication, while each application and website maintains its own autonomous execution environment. The platform divides control commands into standardized structures that preserve application boundaries, allowing control operations to be issued without compromising the independent runtime and security context of each application. This segmentation enables cross-application control while maintaining individual application autonomy and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The privilege auto platform acts as a mediating layer that preserves application autonomy while enabling cross-application control. It receives control commands, validates them against security policies, and executes them within the appropriate application context without allowing applications to directly interfere with each other. This intermediary approach maintains the reliability and independence of each application while providing unified control capabilities across the entertainment service ecosystem.
3Reliability
If online mode playback controls are routed through the privilege auto platform, then reliability is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The privilege auto platform serves as a centralized intermediary for routing playback controls in online mode, ensuring reliable synchronization across devices by mediating all control commands through a single point. This centralized routing improves reliability by maintaining a unified source of truth for playback state and ensuring consistent command delivery, though it increases energy consumption compared to direct peer-to-peer control. The platform optimizes this trade-off by implementing efficient command protocols and caching mechanisms to minimize redundant data transmission.
