Digital Receiver Service Guide for SNS Data Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Digital receivers are unable to provide an active environment for users to easily and conveniently access and use Social Networking Services (SNS) due to limitations such as receiver options and display size, leading to passive user experiences.
Innovation Solution
A service system and method for a digital receiver that selects and outputs SNS content with linked data exchange spaces using an open API, allowing multiple users to access these spaces, and provides SNS identifiers as access information, enabling users to engage with SNS without executing specific applications or performing log-in procedures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If SNS services are provided through traditional mobile appliances, then user accessibility is improved, but device portability and display size are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions SNS service access from mobile handheld devices to large-screen TV displays, adding a spatial dimension to the user experience. By leveraging the TV's large display area, users gain enhanced visual interaction capabilities while accessing the same SNS services, effectively resolving the display size limitation of mobile devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If SNS applications are executed on digital receivers, then service functionality is improved, but system complexity and operation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service guide as an intermediary interface between the user and SNS services. Instead of requiring users to navigate complex application menus and execution procedures, the service guide provides simplified access to SNS content and data exchange spaces, reducing operational complexity while maintaining service functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically manages SNS service delivery by providing service information through the service guide. Users can access SNS data exchange spaces and content without manually executing applications or performing log-in procedures, as the system handles service initialization and content delivery automatically based on service guide information.
3Reliability
If application execution and log-in procedures are required for SNS access, then service security is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary authentication and service setup through the service guide system. User identities and service access rights are pre-configured and managed, allowing users to access SNS data exchange spaces without repeated log-in procedures. The system performs necessary authentication and service initialization in advance, maintaining security while improving convenience.
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed are a service system and a method of providing a service in a digital receiver. The service providing method includes selecting content including an identifier with respect to an SNS or a data exchange space that is opened in linkage with content from a service guide, and outputting the selected content and the SNS or the data exchange space linked to the content in respective areas of a screen. The SNS linked to the content includes a data exchange space configured to allow one or more SNS users to simultaneously access the data exchange space using an open API from the server, and also includes a SNS identifier having a format as access information for the corresponding data exchange space.
