Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional digital TV application transmission methods result in long loading times, limited number and size of applications, and inability to provide personalized services due to bandwidth constraints and resource limitations, leading to inconvenient viewer experiences.

Innovation Solution

A method involving an application providing server that divides digital TV applications into executable data for each scene, allowing for on-demand transmission and execution of specific data based on receiver and user information, using control profiles to manage and extract relevant data for efficient delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If digital TV application is transmitted via broadcasting network using conventional methods, then the application can be delivered to receiver, but the transmission time and loading time are excessively long

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission time and loading timeVSAvoidapplication delivery efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the digital TV application into multiple execution data units corresponding to different scenes or functional modules. Instead of transmitting the entire application at once, only the required execution data is transmitted and executed, significantly reducing transmission time and loading time while improving delivery efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary analysis of receiver information and user information to determine which execution data is needed before transmission begins. This allows the system to prepare and transmit only the necessary application portions in advance, eliminating unnecessary transmission delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If digital TV application is transmitted via broadcasting network, then the application can be delivered, but the number and size of applications are limited due to bandwidth constraints

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber and size of applicationsVSAvoidbandwidth capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting applications into execution data units, the system can transmit smaller portions of multiple applications simultaneously rather than being constrained by bandwidth limits on full application sizes, enabling more applications to be available

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transmits execution data with different characteristics (size, complexity) according to specific receiver capabilities and user preferences, optimizing bandwidth usage by adapting the quality and quantity of transmitted data to local requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional digital TV application transmission is used, then applications can be delivered, but personalized services cannot be provided due to lack of receiver and user information consideration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary acquisition and analysis of receiver information and user information before application transmission. This allows personalization to be implemented in advance by determining which execution data should be transmitted based on user preferences and receiver capabilities, enabling personalized services without excessive complexity during runtime

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an application providing server as an intermediary that manages the complexity of personalization logic. This server handles the analysis of receiver and user information, selection of appropriate execution data, and coordination with the broadcasting network, isolating complexity from the receiver端 and enabling personalization without burdening the terminal device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
