Split-Screen Display Search Linkage for Multi-View Broadcasting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital TV services face limitations in linking multiple applications during the multi-view function, hindering the ability to search for information about one view through a search application for another view and providing related information about a broadcast program during playback.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a network interface and controller that enables displaying a first image from a real-time broadcasting application on one split screen and a second image from a search function application on another split screen, allowing for the acquisition and display of search results related to the first image through a network interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multi-view function is executed with separate applications for broadcasting and search, then functionality is improved, but linkage between applications is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the search function with the broadcast application by allowing the broadcast application to perform searches directly. The controller acquires broadcast information from the first application and automatically transmits search requests using this information, integrating what were previously separate functions into a unified workflow.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller acts as an intermediary that receives broadcast information from the first application, processes it by generating search requests, and transmits these requests to perform searches. This mediator enables communication and linkage between applications that previously had limited connectivity.
2Measurement precision
If manual search is performed by user, then search accuracy is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs searches automatically without requiring user intervention. The controller acquires broadcast information and automatically transmits search requests based on this information, allowing the system to serve itself by performing actions that would otherwise require manual user input.
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares and transmits search requests in advance based on acquired broadcast information, before the user would need to manually search. This preliminary action ensures that search results are ready when needed, improving both accuracy and convenience.
3Device complexity
If search information is not automatically provided, then system simplicity is improved, but information availability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The controller continuously acquires broadcast information and automatically transmits search requests based on this information. This continuous operation ensures that search information is consistently available without requiring complex manual intervention systems, maintaining simplicity while improving information availability.

AI summary
The objective of the present disclosure is to provide search convenience when executing a multi-view function, and the display device may comprise: a network interface; a display for displaying, on a first split screen, a first image corresponding to a first application that provides real-time broadcasting, and displaying, on a second split screen, a second image corresponding to a second application that supports a search function; and a controller for acquiring broadcast information about the first image, transmitting, through the network interface, a search request for the acquired broadcast information to a server that provides a service for the second application, receiving, through the network interface, search results for the broadcast information from the server, and displaying the received search results on the second split screen.
