Solution Overview

Problem

Existing broadcast presentations lack real-time interaction and updating of traffic and weather data, relying on pre-determined content that may be outdated, limiting the presenter's ability to provide current information to the audience.

Innovation Solution

A touch screen-based system that allows presenters to interact with traffic data in real-time by generating and updating virtual broadcast presentations using signals from user interactions, incorporating modules for communications, presentation rendering, selection, feedback, and trip calculation to provide dynamic and interactive content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If pre-determined content is used in broadcast presentations, then the presentation structure is stable and easy to control, but the content becomes outdated and loses real-time accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic content delivery by allowing the virtual broadcast presentation to be updated in real-time based on user interactions with the touch screen. The system transitions from static pre-determined content to dynamic content that changes based on user selections, maintaining reliability through continuous data updates while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where user interactions with the touch screen (selecting interactive elements, manipulating views) generate signals that are processed to update the virtual broadcast presentation. This feedback loop ensures the content remains accurate and relevant to current conditions while the modular system architecture manages the complexity of real-time updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If interactive elements are added to enable real-time manipulation, then user interaction capability is improved, but the ease of operation decreases due to increased complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction capabilityVSAvoidoperational simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The touch screen serves multiple functions: it displays the virtual broadcast presentation, detects user interactions (touches, gestures), and provides feedback to the system. This multi-functionality improves adaptability without requiring separate complex control systems, maintaining ease of operation by consolidating controls into a single familiar interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary processing layer that receives various touch screen interactions (different gestures, selections), standardizes them into uniform signals, and processes them through a consistent workflow. This intermediary approach enables versatile interaction capabilities while maintaining operational simplicity by presenting a unified interface to the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If real-time data processing is implemented, then information accuracy is improved, but the processing time and system resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and organizing traffic and weather data before it is needed for the broadcast presentation. Data from multiple sources is collected, validated, and structured in advance, allowing for rapid real-time updates without extensive processing delays during the actual broadcast, thus maintaining data accuracy while minimizing processing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Touch screen based interaction with traffic data is disclosed. A virtual broadcast presentation may be generated based on dynamic information such as traffic information, weather information, or other information that may be featured on a virtual broadcast presentation. A signal generated by a touch screen may be received. The generated signal may be processed and the virtual broadcast presentation may be updated in response to the processed signal.
