Source Apparatus Automatic Application Execution Based on Content History
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices require users to manually search for network streaming services after turning them on, leading to increased time consumption and unnecessary complexity in accessing desired content.
Innovation Solution
A source apparatus that, upon turning on, identifies and executes applications based on content reproduction history, providing a list of related content through a processor and communicator, minimizing user interaction by automatically selecting and launching preferred applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If users manually search for streaming services through the main screen after turning on the electronic device, then they can access desired content, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of user viewing habits and pre-arranges the main screen to automatically display recommended streaming services based on historical data, so that when the user turns on the device, the desired content is already prominently displayed without requiring manual search
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device automatically analyzes its own usage patterns and self-adjusts the main screen configuration to prioritize frequently accessed streaming services, enabling the system to serve itself by anticipating user needs without requiring explicit user input or manual arrangement
2Speed
If a specific application button is added to the remote control for quick access, then access speed improves, but device complexity increases due to unnecessary keys
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures the main screen layout based on predicted user needs, placing frequently accessed applications in prominent positions before the user even interacts with the remote control, eliminating the need for dedicated shortcut buttons
Solution Approach 2:
The main screen serves multiple functions by dynamically adapting its display based on time, user profile, and usage history, replacing the need for specialized buttons by making the standard interface sufficiently efficient for various access scenarios
Data Source
AI summary
A source apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a storage, a communicator, and a processor configured to, when the source apparatus being turned on while the source apparatus is turned off, identify an application related to a content included in the content reproduction history among a plurality of applications based on a content reproduction history stored in the storage, control the communicator to receive a content list provided by the application, and provide the content list by executing the application.
