Television Quick Start Interface Based on Icon Usage Frequency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face cumbersome operations when trying to access specific television functions due to the large number of functions available, requiring them to search through numerous options on the HOME page and sub-pages.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that tracks the usage frequency of start icons, adding frequently used icons to a quick start interface on the remote controller when the usage exceeds a preset threshold, allowing direct access to frequently used functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the television system provides numerous functions to meet user requirements, then the functionality and versatility of the television is improved, but the complexity of the interface and the number of operations required to access functions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the television functions into two categories: frequently used functions accessed via the quick start interface and other functions accessed via the home page. This segmentation allows users to quickly access common functions without navigating through the entire function list, thereby reducing operation complexity while maintaining comprehensive functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically adding start icons of frequently used functions to the quick start interface based on usage frequency tracking. This preliminary organization of functions reduces the time and operations needed for users to access commonly used features, directly addressing the operation complexity issue while preserving full functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the television system provides numerous functions with multiple sub-functions, then the versatility is improved, but the time required to search and access specific functions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary organization by pre-positioning frequently accessed functions in the quick start interface based on tracked usage patterns. This eliminates the need for users to search through multiple pages and sub-pages to access common functions, significantly reducing function access time while maintaining comprehensive function versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring and tracking the usage frequency of various functions. This feedback mechanism allows the system to dynamically identify which functions are most commonly used and automatically adjust the quick start interface to prioritize these functions, thereby reducing access time for frequently used features while preserving full system versatility.
3Ease of operation
If the quick start interface includes start icons for frequently used functions, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to tracking and management mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by automatically tracking usage frequency and managing the quick start interface content without requiring manual user configuration. The system autonomously monitors which functions are used most frequently and automatically adds their start icons to the quick start interface, improving ease of operation while minimizing the complexity of user interaction with the system's management mechanisms.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for quickly starting a television function is disclosed and includes: in response to receiving a start instruction triggered based on a start icon in a currently displayed startup page, starting a television function corresponding to the start instruction; updating the number of times of starts of the start icon corresponding to the start instruction; and when the updated number of times of starts is greater than a preset number of times, adding the start icon corresponding to the start instruction to a quick start interface corresponding to a quick start key of a remote controller. A device for quickly starting a television function is further disclosed. Thus, when the user has started a certain television function multiple times through the start icon in the startup page, the corresponding start icon will be added to the quick start interface corresponding to the quick start key.
