Reception Apparatus Stream Authentication and Content Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Stream authentication processes in content distribution services delay user access to legitimate content streams, causing user stress as they cannot view desired content until authentication is complete, and there is a risk of accessing malicious sites during this time.
Innovation Solution
A reception apparatus with a display unit, authentication process unit, signal separating unit, and control unit that allows content playback and display of video and audio data during authentication, while prohibiting access to external links and storing access requests to be executed post-authentication, ensuring user safety and minimizing stress.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If stream authentication is performed to ensure content legitimacy, then security against fraudulent streams is improved, but user access time is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the content stream into multiple packets and performs authentication on a per-packet basis rather than waiting for the entire stream. This allows progressive verification of content legitimacy while enabling users to access authenticated portions incrementally, reducing overall access time while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication checks on initial packets before full stream verification is complete. By validating early packets and making them available to users during the authentication process, the system reduces waiting time while still ensuring ultimate content legitimacy through complete stream verification.
2Ease of operation
If external links are displayed during authentication, then user convenience is improved, but security risk from malicious sites increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication mechanism that mediates between external links and user access. Links are displayed with authentication status indicators, and actual navigation is blocked until verification completes. This intermediary layer maintains user convenience by showing links while preventing access to potentially malicious sites through enforced authentication verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by pre-blocking access to external links during authentication while displaying them for informational purposes. This prevents users from accidentally navigating to malicious sites before content legitimacy is confirmed, while still maintaining user convenience through visible link display and post-authentication access.

AI summary
A reception apparatus of the present invention is provided with a reception unit 301 for receiving a stream including a data signal, a display unit 305 for displaying based on the stream received by the reception unit 301, an authentication process unit 302 for authenticating a sender of the stream received by the reception unit 301, a signal separating unit 303 for separating the data signal from the stream received by the reception unit 301, and a control unit 310 for controlling so as to prohibit the screen unit 305 from displaying a screen based on the data signal separated by the signal separating unit 303 during authentication of the stream by the authentication process unit 302. Thereby, the reception apparatus appropriately plays contents without inflicting a disadvantage or stress on a user.
