TV Program Detection for Children's Vision Protection

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the turn-off function based on the type of program being watched. Children's programs trigger the timed turn-off function while adult programs do not. This is achieved by detecting program information and identifying whether it is a children's program, then applying the protection mechanism selectively. The system thus provides different functionality for different parts of the viewing content.

The patent changes the parameter of program identification from simple time-based control to content-based control. By detecting program information and identifying children's programs through specific parameters (program type, channel information, color saturation), the system dynamically adjusts the turn-off function based on what is being watched rather than just when it is watched.

The patent applies self-service by enabling the television system to automatically detect program information, identify whether it is a children's program, and execute the appropriate turn-off action without external intervention. The system uses its own resources (detection component, determining component, control component) to perform the identification and control functions, reducing the need for external parental monitoring or manual intervention.

The patent makes the television system multi-functional by integrating program detection, program identification, and turn-off control into a single unified system. The detection component, determining component, and control component work together as an integrated system that handles both adult and children's programming scenarios, making the television adaptable to different viewing situations without requiring separate devices.
