TV Content Capture System with Copyright Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for capturing and sharing TV content are limited, often raising copyright issues when using smartphones, and do not effectively allow users to provide captured content to social services while ensuring legitimate usage rights.
Innovation Solution
A capture service system comprising a service server and a media server that acquires user profile information, verifies copyright, and captures images or videos based on user requests, providing them to social services while ensuring legitimate usage rights through an authorization module, profile acquisition module, and content capture engine.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user captures a scene on a TV screen using a smartphone, then the user can share the captured scene at a social service, but it may cause a copyright issue
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the TV terminal and the mobile terminal. The server receives capture requests from the mobile terminal, obtains content information from the TV terminal, captures the content through the TV terminal's camera, and delivers it to the mobile terminal. This intermediary system enables legal content capture by controlling the process through authorized channels rather than direct smartphone recording.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of the mobile terminal directly capturing the screen (which causes copyright issues), the system inverts the capture process: the TV terminal itself performs the capture function using its integrated camera, guided by requests from the mobile terminal. This reversal of the capture subject transforms an illegal act into a legally authorized process.
2Loss of information
If the system captures content based on user requests, then user information can be provided to content providers, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs multiple functions: it acts as a communication intermediary, manages capture requests, verifies user authorization, collects user information, and coordinates between TV and mobile terminals. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single multi-functional server, the system reduces overall complexity compared to distributing these functions across multiple separate components.
3Reliability
If the media server captures images or videos based on copyright information, then copyright compliance is ensured, but the capture process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The media server performs preliminary verification of copyright information before executing the capture process. By checking authorization and content rights in advance, the system ensures copyright compliance is built into the capture workflow from the beginning, rather than adding complex verification steps after capture occurs.

AI summary
Disclosed are a method for capturing content provided on a TV screen and connecting the content with a social service by using a second device, and a system therefor. A capture service system comprises: a service server for obtaining profile information on a user from a social service server in which a second terminal or the user is registered, if the user requests content, which is being reproduced in a first terminal, to be captured by using the second terminal; and a media server for capturing an image or video of the content according to copyright information of the content requested to be captured by the user. At this point, the service server can receive the captured image or video from the media server and provide the received image or video to the second terminal.
