Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for displaying video content using display devices are inefficient in attracting attention, as they only provide unilateral notification, limiting engagement with surrounding people.

Innovation Solution

A server system that uses recognition codes to communicate with display devices and user terminals, extracting and synchronizing event result information to display it across multiple devices and terminals, allowing for synchronized and targeted content delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If video content is displayed using a single display device unilaterally, then the display device can show content, but the efficiency of attracting surrounding people's attention is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of attracting attentionVSAvoidengagement with surrounding people
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple display devices into a unified content delivery system. When a user scans a recognition code on one display device, the content is synchronized and displayed across multiple other display devices in the vicinity, creating a collaborative attention-attracting system rather than relying on a single device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses recognition codes as feedback mechanisms. When users scan codes on display devices, the system receives this feedback and automatically synchronizes content to multiple other display devices, creating an adaptive system that responds to user interaction and expands content delivery based on real-time user behavior.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If video content is displayed using multiple display devices, then attention attraction efficiency improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattention attraction efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that manages the complexity of multi-device content synchronization. The server receives recognition codes from user terminals, processes the content, and distributes it to multiple display devices, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture while enabling efficient multi-device operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If recognition code scanning is implemented to track video content, then targeted content delivery improves, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeted content deliveryVSAvoidcode information processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses recognition codes (such as QR codes) as simplified copies of content identification information. Instead of complex tracking mechanisms, the patent uses visual codes that can be easily scanned and copied by user terminals, then transmitted to the server for processing and content delivery, thereby reducing the difficulty of detection while maintaining targeted delivery capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The present disclosure includes a communication unit that performs communication with a plurality of display devices and a user terminal and a processor that controls operation related to provision of video content based on the plurality of display devices. The processor may extract corresponding event result information preset in association with code information of a corresponding recognition code when the code information of the corresponding recognition code arranged to track corresponding video content of the plurality of display devices is received from the user terminal through the communication unit, and control the user terminal to display the corresponding event result information through the user terminal that has scanned the corresponding recognition code.
