Solution Overview

Problem

Current digital signage display devices are not intelligent and cannot display digital content tailored to specific audiences or contexts, leading to wasted advertising efforts, and content providers face challenges in delivering high-quality content due to storage limitations and subjective measurement of creative quality.

Innovation Solution

Implementing AI-based audience detection systems that analyze viewer characteristics and context to deliver personalized and context-aware digital content, and using remote rendering and data streaming to overcome storage limitations and enhance content quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If content is delivered in high-definition quality, then visual appeal is improved, but storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual qualityVSAvoidstorage
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses remote rendering to generate content copies in high-definition quality on-demand rather than storing all HD content locally. The system creates rendered copies of content as needed, delivering HD visual quality without proportionally increasing permanent storage requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary rendering of content in advance based on predicted viewer interest and context, so that high-definition content is ready for delivery without requiring all possible HD versions to be pre-stored. This allows HD quality delivery with optimized storage usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If digital signage displays generic content, then device complexity is reduced, but audience engagement decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent personalizationVSAvoidintelligence
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI-based audience detection system as an intermediary between the viewer and the content delivery. This intermediary analyzes viewer characteristics and context to determine personalized content, enabling adaptation without requiring the display device itself to be highly complex or intelligent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces complex mechanical or computational content adaptation mechanisms in the display device with AI-based audience detection and analysis. This substitution enables personalized content delivery while keeping the actual display device relatively simple, as the intelligence is provided through external AI processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Manufacturing precision

If content quality is improved, then viewer appeal increases, but storage costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent qualityVSAvoidstorage cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of content quality from a static property determined by storage capacity to a dynamic property controlled by remote rendering capabilities. This allows the system to deliver high-quality content when needed while maintaining lower storage costs by rendering content on-demand rather than storing all high-quality versions permanently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Measurement precision

If AI-based audience detection is implemented, then content targeting is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI-based audience detection system acts as an intermediary layer between the viewer and the content management system. This intermediary handles the complexity of audience analysis and content matching, allowing accurate audience detection without requiring the core display or content delivery devices to become more complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

According to examples, a system for generating and delivering enhanced content utilizing remote rendering and data streaming is described. The system may include a processor and a memory storing instructions. The processor, when executing the instructions, may cause the system to transmit a selected engagement content item for transmission to a user device and receive an indication of interest relating to the selected engagement content item. The processor, when executing the instructions, may then select, based on the received indication of interest, an enhanced content item, process the enhanced to content item to generate a stream of content data associated with the enhanced content item and transmit the stream of content data associated with the enhanced content item to the user device.
