Remote Application User Profile Segmentation for Multi-Device Media Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote applications for digital media management systems lack user profiling and cannot differentiate between multiple users' video consumption patterns, leading to inaccurate analytics and generic recommendations.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allow users to create profiles and assign active or passive operation statuses to user devices, enabling personalized media control and analytics at the user level, with primary and secondary functionalities for active and passive users respectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single remote application controls the CPE device, then the device can be operated seamlessly, but multiple users cannot access different activities simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the remote control functionality by creating separate user profiles (active and passive) within the remote application. Each profile can access different activities and functionalities, allowing multiple users to operate the CPE device simultaneously with their own personalized interfaces and permissions.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote application is enhanced to serve multiple user types (active and passive) with different functionalities. The active user profile provides full control capabilities while passive user profiles provide limited access to specific activities, making the single remote application universal for different user needs.
2Device complexity
If analytics are performed in the backend without user identification, then processing is simplified, but user behavior analysis becomes inaccurate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary user identification and authentication before analytics processing. By identifying users in advance through profile selection or biometric authentication, the system can tag video consumption data with specific user identifiers, enabling accurate user-level analytics without increasing backend processing complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If remote applications are configured for multiple CPE devices, then device compatibility is improved, but user profile tracking becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a cloud-based user profile system where profile information is copied and synchronized across multiple CPE devices. When users log in to the remote application on different devices, their profile data (preferences, viewing history, analytics) is retrieved from the cloud, maintaining user identity consistency across the entire CPE ecosystem.
4Productivity
If generic recommendations are provided without user differentiation, then recommendation generation is faster, but recommendation quality decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing personalized recommendations tailored to each user profile's specific viewing preferences, history, and behavior patterns. The recommendation engine processes analytics at the user level to generate customized content suggestions, ensuring high accuracy while maintaining efficient processing through pre-computed user profiles.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method of providing media personalization for one or more users using an electronic device. The method comprises receiving, by an electronic device, a profile activation request from one or more user devices for activating a predefined profile associated with each of the one or more users. The method further comprises assigning an active operation status for one of the one or more user devices and a passive operation status for rest of the one or more user devices based on predefined policy information. The method further comprises activating a primary functionality of controlling the electronic device for the user device having the active operation status and one or more secondary functionalities for the rest of the one or more user devices. The method further comprises applying the predefined profile associated with the user device having the active operation status for the media personalization.
