Summary Content Presentation for Primary Content Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Consumers face overwhelming choices in content consumption across various devices, lacking efficient ways to summarize and interact with primary content such as television programs and live broadcasts, leading to difficulty in locating and viewing related content.
Innovation Solution
The generation and presentation of summary content that encapsulates key aspects and events of primary content, allowing for interactive retrieval of supplementary content and synchronized viewing across different devices, with features like searching, bookmarking, and browsing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If consumers access a tremendous variety of content across multiple devices, then content availability and accessibility are improved, but consumers become overwhelmed with variety and have difficulty locating specific content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces summary content as an intermediary between the vast library of primary content and the consumer. This summary content acts as a navigational mediator that condenses large amounts of content into manageable representations, enabling consumers to locate and access specific content without being overwhelmed by the full variety available across multiple devices
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts essential information from primary content to create condensed summary representations. By taking out only the most relevant aspects of content and presenting them in summary form, the system enables efficient content location while maintaining access to the full content library across devices
2Ease of operation
If summary content is generated to encapsulate primary content, then content navigation is improved, but additional processing and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by generating summary content that captures only the essential aspects of primary content rather than processing entire content items. This selective summarization improves navigation while reducing the processing burden compared to handling complete content representations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments content into two distinct layers: primary content and summary content. This segmentation allows the system to handle navigation tasks using the lighter summary representations while keeping the full primary content available for actual consumption, thereby reducing overall processing requirements

AI summary
Techniques for presentation of summary content for primary content are described. In at least some embodiments, primary content includes different types of content, such as television programs, live broadcasts, web content, and so forth. Summary content can be generated that encapsulates various aspects and/or events of primary content. In at least some embodiments, summary content is selectable to retrieve other types of content. For instance, summary content can be selected to retrieve supplementary content and/or associated primary content. Implementations enable a variety of different interactions with summary content, such as searching, bookmarking, browsing, and so on.
