Smart TV Event Control Interface for Recorded Video Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smart television recording systems require users to manually adjust a progress bar to locate specific clips in recorded videos, which is inefficient and complex, as users lack direct access to event information for seamless playback.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus and method that monitor event information from the program source during recording, generating locating information including event details and recording progress, allowing users to skip directly to desired segments through intuitive event controls on the interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually adjust the progress bar to locate specific clips in recorded videos, then they can access any part of the recorded content, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the recorded video content by event types (e.g., news, sports, entertainment) and creates separate event controls for each segment. This allows users to directly select the desired event type to jump to the corresponding clip, eliminating the need to manually drag the progress bar through the entire video timeline.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the user and the video content - the event control interface. This intermediary automatically parses event information from the recorded video and presents it in an organized manner, mediating the user's access to specific clips without requiring direct manipulation of the progress bar.
2Loss of information
If the interface displays detailed event information for all recorded segments, then users can easily locate desired content, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments event information by type (news, sports, entertainment, etc.) and presents them as distinct event controls. This segmentation organizes the information hierarchy, allowing users to access detailed event information only when needed, rather than displaying all information at once, thus reducing perceived interface complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of information display: a simplified overview of event types at the main interface level, and detailed event information available on-demand when users select specific event controls. This ensures comprehensive information access while maintaining a clean, simple main interface.
Data Source
AI summary
Provided are a display apparatus and a method for processing recorded data. The display apparatus includes: a display configured to display an image; a communicator configured to be in communication with the network; a remote controller comprising a plurality of keys; a memory configured to store instructions and data associated with the display; and at least one processor in connection with the display, the communicator and the memory, and configured to execute the instructions to cause the display apparatus to perform: in response to a command for entering an interface for processing a recorded file, obtaining locations for resuming playing corresponding to recorded files and locating information for the locations for resuming playing; generating the interface for processing the recorded file and presenting the interface for processing the recorded file; presenting the one or more event controls on the display, and selecting a first event control by default.
