Smart TV Screen Shot Interface with Object Recognition

The smart television system integrates multiple functions including content playback, screen shot capture, image recognition, content recommendation, and social sharing into a single device. The processor executes diverse applications (video player, image recognition application, recommendation application) that work together to provide universal functionality, transforming the TV from a simple broadcast receiver to a multi-functional interactive platform.

The patent introduces an image recognition application as an intermediary between the screen shot capture module and the content recommendation system. This intermediary processes the captured image, identifies objects and scenes, and translates them into meaningful data that triggers relevant content recommendations and sharing actions, thereby mediating the complex interaction between user input and system response.

The user interface is segmented into distinct functional modules: a screen shot capture interface, an image recognition interface, a content recommendation interface, and a social sharing interface. Each module handles a specific function independently, making the overall complex system more manageable and easier to navigate. The processor executes these as separate applications that can be activated as needed.

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing screen shots when users trigger the capture function, and pre-processing these images through the image recognition application to identify objects and scenes before content recommendations are generated. This preliminary processing reduces the complexity of subsequent user interactions by preparing and organizing information in advance.
