Terminal Device Feed Selection via Status-Based Server Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing terminal devices face difficulties in easily selecting and accessing multiple feeds based on their status, as they require manual or complex processes to retrieve relevant content summary information.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device is designed with an access unit to acquire content summary information from a server using location information, including an identification system that associates device status with summary information, allowing for easy selection and retrieval of relevant feeds based on device status.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a terminal device manually selects and accesses multiple feeds based on device status, then the device can retrieve relevant content summary information, but the operation process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device automatically detects its own status (such as battery level, network connection state, or error conditions) and autonomously selects the appropriate feed without user intervention. The device serves itself by matching its current status with predefined status information in feeds, eliminating manual selection and reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the terminal device continuously monitors its own operational status and uses this feedback to dynamically select feeds. The status detection unit provides real-time feedback about device conditions, which the feed selection unit uses to automatically retrieve relevant content, creating an adaptive system that responds to changing device states.
2Speed
If the terminal device stores multiple feeds locally, then access to feed information is fast, but the storage capacity requirement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential status information and feed selection logic from the terminal device and stores them on the server side. Instead of storing complete feeds locally, the device stores minimal status identification data and retrieves only the necessary feed information from the server based on its current status, significantly reducing local storage requirements while maintaining fast access through efficient server-side retrieval.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the terminal device and the feed content. The device communicates its status to the server, which then provides the appropriate feed information. This intermediary approach allows the device to access feeds quickly without storing them locally, as the server handles feed management and delivery based on device status.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal device accesses feeds based on manual status identification, then the device can retrieve specific content, but the process requires complex user input and configuration
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device automatically performs status identification and feed selection without requiring user configuration. The device self-detects its operational status (such as error states, network conditions, or resource availability) and autonomously determines which feed to access, eliminating the need for complex manual configuration while maintaining high adaptability to different device states.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of status identification from manual user input to automatic device self-detection. By transforming how status information is obtained (from external user input to internal device sensing), the system achieves high adaptability to different device conditions while reducing configuration complexity, as the device automatically adjusts its feed selection based on real-time status parameters.

AI summary
A terminal device includes an access unit accessing content summary information on a server based on location information, the content summary information containing first information and second information, the first information providing association between an identification for identifying a status of the terminal device and second location information for accessing the second information, the second information providing summary information of contents regarding the status of the terminal device, an identification acquiring unit acquiring the identification, a first location storage unit storing first location information for accessing the first information, a first access controller controlling the access unit to access the first information based on the first location information stored, a retriever retrieving the second location information associated with the acquired identification based on the first information accessed, and a second access controller controlling the access unit to access the second information based on the second location information retrieved.
