Portable Terminal Character Agent for Broadcast Reservation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of portable terminals face difficulties in conveniently and accurately reserving favorite multimedia broadcast programs due to complex user interfaces and the need for manual reservation, often leading to missed start times.
Innovation Solution
A device and method utilizing a character agent function within a portable terminal to analyze broadcast program reproduction records, recommend registration of frequently watched programs, and provide user-friendly interface options for registering favorites, with character and text outputs for program recommendations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual reservation method is used, then user can reserve broadcast programs, but user interface complexity increases and operation becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically analyzes user watching habits and performs reservation actions without manual intervention. The terminal device autonomously identifies frequently watched programs and sets alarms, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring user configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors and analyzes user broadcast watching records to dynamically adjust reservations. By feeding back watching behavior data to the reservation mechanism, the system adapts to user preferences and automatically updates alarm settings based on actual viewing patterns.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual reservation is required, then reservation function can be provided, but users often miss start times due to oversight or delay
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of watching habits before the broadcast starts, pre-configuring alarm reservations based on predicted user preferences. By acting in advance and automatically, the system ensures reservations are set before the user might forget or delay manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal autonomously manages the entire reservation process including analysis, decision-making, and alarm setting without requiring user action. This self-service mechanism eliminates human factors like oversight or delay that cause missed start times.
3Ease of operation
If character agent function is added, then user convenience is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The character agent serves multiple functions including analyzing watching habits, generating recommendations, and setting alarms within a single integrated component. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate modules, managing complexity while enhancing convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The character agent acts as an intermediary between the complex data analysis system and the user interface. It translates complex watching pattern analysis into simple, friendly character-based recommendations and actions, shielding the user from underlying system complexity.
