Program Service Guide Scoring for Mobile TV Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional mobile TV service guides lack interaction, failing to leverage the mobility and interactive nature of mobile TV users, who cannot conveniently rate or influence the content they receive.
Innovation Solution
Embedding a scoring function into the program service guide, allowing users to rate channels, programs, and sets, with a service guide server transmitting and displaying these scores, enabling user interaction and influencing content selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional mobile TV service guide is used, then the service guide can provide basic TV guide information, but it lacks interaction functionality and cannot collect user feedback
Solution Approach 1:
The service guide is transformed from a single-function information display tool into a multi-functional system that simultaneously provides TV guide information, collects user ratings, aggregates feedback data, and displays ranked results. This allows the same interface to serve both informational and interactive purposes without requiring separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the service guide function with the user feedback collection function into a single integrated system. The service guide server merges the distribution of guide information with the aggregation of user ratings, creating a unified platform that handles both content delivery and interaction.
2Ease of operation
If user scoring functionality is embedded into the program service guide, then user interaction and feedback collection are enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to automatically rate programs and channels through the service guide interface without requiring separate feedback mechanisms. Users can directly input ratings while viewing program information, and the system automatically collects and processes this data without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The service guide server acts as an intermediary between users and the content providers. It collects user ratings, aggregates the feedback data, and uses this information to generate ranked lists that are then displayed back to users through the same service guide interface.
3Loss of information
If user ratings are collected and aggregated, then content selection can be improved based on feedback, but additional processing and storage requirements are created
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a closed-loop feedback mechanism where user ratings are collected, aggregated, and then used to generate ranked content lists that are displayed back to users. This feedback loop allows the system to continuously improve content recommendations based on actual user preferences while maintaining a manageable data processing workflow.

AI summary
A method for implementing user scoring by utilizing a program service guide includes: a service guide server transmitting to a terminal a program service guide embedded with a scoring function; and the terminal submitting user scoring information to the service guide server. The present application further discloses a system for implementing user scoring by utilizing a program service guide. The above scheme embeds a scoring function into the program service guide, which increases the interaction between mobile TV users and operators, and enables a user to rate a channel, a program etc. by utilizing the program service guide, thus improving user experience.
