Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience in accessing and managing various information materials from different companies and governmental institutions, as separate programs are required for each service, and there is no unified storage or viewing service across different devices, leading to difficulties in updating statements and losing content when switching terminals.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for servicing customized mobile content that uses metadata and templates to generate content suitable for various terminals, allowing users to download and display mobile content across different devices, including PCs, IPTVs, and smart TVs, with a centralized storage service for secure document management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate programs are installed for each service provider, then service functionality is provided, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice functionalityVSAvoidprogram installation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple service provider programs into a single unified program that can access and manage information materials from various companies and governmental institutions. This consolidation eliminates the need for users to install separate programs for each service provider, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining comprehensive service functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified program is designed with multi-functionality to handle diverse services from different providers. It incorporates universal interfaces and protocols that enable a single program to perform the functions previously requiring multiple specialized programs, thus improving ease of operation without sacrificing service adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If separate programs are required for each service, then service specificity is maintained, but ease of operation and time efficiency worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice specificityVSAvoidcontent access
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The unified program internally segments and organizes information materials by service provider, content type, and user preferences. This segmentation allows the system to maintain service specificity through structured data organization while presenting a simplified unified interface to users, improving ease of operation without losing service reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The unified program acts as an intermediary between users and multiple service providers. It manages communications and data exchanges with various providers through standardized protocols, maintaining service specificity at the backend while providing simplified access at the frontend, thus improving ease of operation while preserving service reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If information materials are stored in separate locations, then data organization is maintained, but loss of information and time efficiency worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata organizationVSAvoidcontent accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a nested storage structure where information materials are organized in hierarchical folders corresponding to different service providers and content categories. The unified program accesses this nested structure through a single interface, maintaining data organization while ensuring comprehensive accessibility. When users switch terminals, their entire nested structure is restored, preventing information loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically synchronizing and backing up information materials to centralized storage locations before users switch terminals or lose devices. This preliminary synchronization ensures that all data is securely stored and organized before potential loss scenarios, preventing information loss and enabling quick restoration without manual reorganization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Adaptability or versatility

If centralized storage service is provided, then accessibility across devices is improved, but device complexity and infrastructure requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-device accessibilityVSAvoidsystem infrastructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The unified program implements self-service functionality by automatically managing content synchronization, storage, and retrieval across multiple devices. The system autonomously handles device detection, data synchronization, and content delivery without requiring complex manual configuration or infrastructure management, thus improving cross-device accessibility while minimizing the perceived complexity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
