Subtitle Page Navigation for Image Content Reproduction Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for controlling the reproduction time of image content, such as using a scroll bar, are inefficient, especially in mobile environments, and struggle with finding specific subtitles in image content, particularly in low communication speed environments where high-definition images are difficult to transmit smoothly.
Innovation Solution
A content providing server and terminal system that generates subtitle pages with unit subtitles and representative images extracted from image content, allowing users to view image content according to their understanding level by dividing the content into subtitle intervals and providing these pages to a terminal, which can adapt to limited communication speeds by adjusting data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a scroll bar is used to control reproduction time of image content, then the user can navigate through the content, but the constant length of the scroll region makes it difficult to precisely control the reproduction time, especially in mobile environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the image content into multiple subtitle intervals, each with its own subtitle page. This segmentation allows users to navigate through discrete time segments rather than a continuous scroll region, enabling precise control over reproduction time by selecting specific subtitle pages corresponding to desired time intervals.
2Reliability
If high definition images are transmitted to content providing terminal, then the image quality is improved, but the data transmission amount increases making it difficult to view all scenes in real time in low communication speed environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary information (subtitles and representative images) from the full high-definition image content and transmits this condensed data to the content providing terminal. This extraction maintains essential information for understanding the content while significantly reducing the data transmission amount, enabling real-time viewing in low communication speed environments.
Solution Approach 2:
By dividing the image content into subtitle intervals and transmitting only the necessary subtitle information and representative images for each interval, the system reduces the overall data transmission requirement while maintaining the ability to access and view all scenes when needed.
3Ease of operation
If the user wants to find specific subtitles in image content, then the user can search for desired scenes, but the constant length scroll region makes it not easy to find subtitles for desired scene and speech
Solution Approach 1:
The patent organizes subtitles into discrete subtitle intervals with corresponding subtitle pages, allowing users to directly access specific subtitle pages by selecting desired time intervals. This eliminates the need to scroll through a constant-length region, significantly reducing the time required to find and access specific subtitles and scenes.

AI summary
Provided are a content providing server, a content providing terminal, a content providing method. A search for image content is facilitated through a subtitle page including a unit subtitle separated by a subtitle interval, during which a subtitle is displayed in image content, and a representative image extracted from the subtitle interval in the image content, so that a user views the image content according to the user's level of understanding.
