Solution Overview

Problem

Existing broadcasting/communication hybrid systems face challenges in securing ease of component selection at the reception side.

Innovation Solution

A transmission device generates a transmission stream with multiplexed transmission packets containing component data and signaling information, allowing for component selection through a component structure table and a reception device that receives and selects components based on inserted component selection information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Ease of operation

If component selection information is inserted into transmission packets, then ease of component selection at reception side is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of component selectionVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission packet is segmented into distinct fields: a first field containing component data and a second field containing component selection information. This segmentation allows the reception device to efficiently process and select components based on the inserted information without requiring complex overall system redesign, thereby improving ease of component selection while managing device complexity through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic and adaptive component switching is enabled, then adaptability of the system is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic component switching by inserting component selection information into transmission packets, enabling the reception device to adaptively select and switch between different components based on current needs. This dynamic capability allows the system to respond to changing conditions without requiring complete system redesign, achieving adaptability while managing complexity through incremental enhancement of the transmission and reception mechanisms.
