Interactive TV Application Quality Marking for Recording
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often encounter videos recorded with undesirable attributes such as missing content, interruptions, or poor quality due to DVR systems' automatic configuration issues, lacking easy means to acquire recordings with desirable attributes.
Innovation Solution
An interactive television application identifies recorded programs with undesirable attributes and automatically schedules re-recording of future broadcasts, allowing users to modify recording options based on prior recordings to minimize disruptions and improve quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the DVR system is automatically configured to avoid recording duplicate copies, then storage efficiency is improved, but the system may miss re-broadcasts of programs lacking desirable attributes
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by monitoring recorded programs for quality attributes and automatically triggering re-recording actions when deficiencies are detected, creating a closed-loop quality assurance mechanism that resolves the contradiction between storage efficiency and program quality assurance
Solution Approach 2:
The DVR system performs self-diagnosis of recording quality and automatically initiates corrective re-recording actions without user intervention, enabling the system to self-correct quality issues while maintaining storage efficiency through intelligent duplicate detection and management
2Reliability
If the system re-records a program with desirable attributes, then program quality is improved, but it may impede other scheduled future recordings
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts re-recording scheduling by evaluating conflicts with existing recording schedules and adapting the timing of quality assurance re-recordings to minimize disruptions, allowing flexible optimization of both program quality and recording productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the recording schedule to identify optimal times for quality assurance re-recordings that minimize conflicts with other scheduled recordings, proactively planning re-recording actions to maintain productivity while ensuring program quality
3Manufacturing precision
If recording options are modified for re-recording, then recording quality is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically modifies recording parameters such as bitrate, resolution, and buffer settings based on detected quality issues, applying targeted parameter changes to improve recording precision while managing complexity through automated parameter selection rather than manual configuration

AI summary
Systems and methods for identifying a recorded video program are provided. The method may include recording a video and identifying the video as lacking desirable recording attributes. A future occurrence of a transmission of the video may be automatically selected in response to the identification of the video as lacking desirable recording properties. The future occurrence of the transmission of the video may be automatically re-recorded.
