Unified Scene Configuration for Multi-Screen Media Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multi-screen services face challenges in efficiently managing scene configuration information across multiple terminals, leading to potential media mismatch and degraded user experience due to the need for separate applications and increased burden on terminals.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for communicating media information using scene configuration information, allowing terminals to efficiently configure screens by sending and receiving information about media reproduction permissions, enabling synchronized media playback and transfer between primary and secondary devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If scene configuration information and multi-screen information are provided through different applications, then comprehensive media management is achieved, but terminal burden increases and service complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines scene configuration information and multi-screen information into a single application, integrating previously separate functions. This merging reduces terminal burden by eliminating the need to run multiple applications simultaneously while maintaining comprehensive media management capabilities through unified information handling.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal application that handles both scene configuration and multi-screen operations. This multi-functional approach allows a single application to perform multiple tasks that previously required separate applications, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining adaptability across different media management scenarios.
2Reliability
If scene configuration information and multi-screen information are provided through different applications, then specialized functionality is maintained, but media mismatch occurs and service quality degrades
Solution Approach 1:
By merging scene configuration and multi-screen information into a single application, the patent ensures synchronized media information across both functionality areas. This integration eliminates media mismatch caused by separate applications operating independently, as all media-related operations now share a unified information source and coordination mechanism.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple applications run simultaneously for scene configuration and multi-screen services, then comprehensive service coverage is achieved, but user experience degrades due to media mismatch
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges scene configuration and multi-screen services into a single application, eliminating the user experience degradation caused by media mismatch between separate applications. This unified approach maintains comprehensive service coverage while ensuring consistent media information, thereby improving ease of operation and overall user experience.
