Transparent Screensaver Interface for Personalized Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current screensaver applications on display apparatuses cannot configure personalized screensaver resources based on user preferences and fail to intersperse advertisements and picture gallery images effectively, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus that starts a screensaver application when inactive, sends theme and data type information of local screensaver images to a server, and displays recommendation data if available, or switches to another screensaver image if not, thereby enriching user content and meeting user preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If screensaver application displays only local picture gallery images, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability and user personalization capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the display apparatus and screensaver resources. The server stores multiple picture galleries with different themes and characteristics, and provides recommendation data based on user preferences. This mediator enables personalized screensaver display without requiring the display apparatus itself to have complex local storage and management capabilities for multiple galleries.
Solution Approach 2:
The server is designed to handle multiple functions: storing diverse picture galleries, analyzing user preferences, generating recommendation data, and providing resources to multiple display apparatuses. This universal approach allows the display apparatus to achieve high adaptability through a multi-functional external system rather than embedding all capabilities locally.
2Adaptability or versatility
If screensaver application displays only picture gallery images, then ease of operation is maintained, but content diversity and user engagement deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically analyzing user preferences and generating personalized screensaver content without requiring manual user configuration. The controller automatically obtains recommendation data from the server based on stored user preference information, and the screensaver application automatically selects and displays appropriate images from different picture galleries, maintaining operational simplicity while achieving content diversity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where user preferences are continuously analyzed and used to generate recommendation data. The screensaver display adapts based on this feedback loop between user behavior analysis and content selection, providing diverse content that aligns with user preferences without requiring complex user interaction.
3Productivity
If screensaver application displays advertisement data, then productivity and content enrichment are improved, but user experience and aesthetic quality may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the display characteristics of different content types. Advertisement data and picture gallery images are displayed with different visual qualities, positions, and prominence levels. The recommendation data including advertisements is integrated into the screensaver display but with reduced visual impact compared to main picture gallery images, allowing content enrichment while minimizing negative impact on user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses partial action by selectively displaying advertisement data only in certain contexts and positions within the screensaver interface, rather than fully replacing or prominently featuring advertisements. The recommendation data is partially integrated into the overall screensaver experience, providing content enrichment while maintaining aesthetic quality through controlled placement and display parameters.

AI summary
Provided are display apparatuses. A display apparatus includes: a display, and a controller connected to the display, the controller is configured to: display a first interface on the display; in response to no operation for the first interface reaching a first time threshold, create a screensaver display interface by a screensaver application in the display apparatus, where the screensaver display interface is transparent with respect to the first interface; present the screensaver display interface on the display without blocking the first interface presented on the display; create a screensaver view comprising a plurality of screensaver interfaces by the screensaver application; and present the first screensaver interface in the screensaver view on the screensaver display interface to block the first interface, where the first access entry and the first presentation material are visible for a user and the first access entry is available for selection by the user.
