Terminal Media Playback Automation via Server-Content Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods require additional user operations to reproduce media content stored in a terminal when accessing a content-providing server, leading to inconvenient media content playback regardless of the server accessed.
Innovation Solution
A terminal with a storage unit, transmission/reception unit, and controller that allows users to configure and reproduce media content stored in the terminal based on the accessed content server, enabling seamless playback without additional user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the terminal reproduces media content previously stored in the terminal when accessing a content-providing server, then the media content can be played back, but additional user operations are required which makes the operation inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal pre-configures media content to be reproduced based on the accessed content-providing server before the user needs it. When a server is accessed, the corresponding media content is automatically reproduced without requiring user selection or additional operations, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining clear functional logic
2Extent of automation
If the terminal automatically reproduces media content based on the accessed content server, then user experience is enhanced, but the system must track and manage server-accession information increasing complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal autonomously manages the reproduction of media content by automatically detecting which content-providing server is accessed and reproducing the corresponding pre-configured media content without user intervention. The system self-manages the association between servers and media content, enhancing automation while keeping the management logic integrated within the terminal's existing server access functionality

AI summary
A method for reproducing media content in a terminal and a terminal having a function for reproducing media content are disclosed. The method for reproducing media content in a terminal includes accessing a content server; and reproducing at least one media content configured with the accessed content server, among at least one media content which is previously stored in the terminal. Accordingly, the terminal is able to reproduce the media content configured with the accessed content server while receiving contents from the accessed content server.
