Video Playing Apparatus Identity-Based Playback Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video playing control techniques lack the ability to perform personalized and intelligent control based on the viewer's identity, failing to cater to different age groups and their specific viewing preferences.
Innovation Solution
A video playing apparatus and system that includes a storage unit for personal information, a comparing and matching unit, a control unit, and a display unit, which uses identification information to retrieve and apply viewing settings such as channel selection, time limitations, and reminders, and can be assisted by a camera for real-time viewer detection to adjust playback accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a control technique without distinction is used for video playing, then the device complexity is reduced and operation is simplified, but the ability to perform personalized intelligent control is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into distinct functional modules: receiving unit for acquiring identification information, comparing and matching unit for retrieving personal information, and control unit for executing personalized control operations. This modular segmentation enables personalized control capabilities while keeping each module's complexity manageable and independent.
2Ease of operation
If personalized control based on viewer identity is implemented, then user experience is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs identification recognition and personalized control operations without requiring manual user configuration. The receiving unit automatically obtains identification information, the comparing and matching unit automatically retrieves corresponding personal information, and the control unit automatically executes appropriate control actions, making the system self-serving and user-friendly despite its internal complexity.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If viewing time limitation is enforced for children, then harmful effects on vision and study are reduced, but the flexibility of video playing is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Different control strategies are applied to different viewer categories based on their specific needs. For children, viewing time limitations and content shielding are enforced to protect their vision and study. For adults and other groups, more flexible control options are provided. This localized quality approach addresses harmful factors for specific groups while maintaining overall system versatility.
4Loss of energy
If automatic pause and stop functions are added, then energy consumption is reduced, but the control system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the control unit continuously monitors viewing status and automatically adjusts playback state. When viewing time limits are reached or appropriate pause conditions are detected, the system automatically pauses or stops playback without user intervention. This feedback-based automatic control reduces energy consumption while the modular architecture keeps the added complexity manageable.

AI summary
A video playing apparatus, a control apparatus, a video playing system and a control method are provided. The video playing apparatus comprising a storage unit (101), a receiving unit (102), a comparing and matching unit (103), a control unit (104) and a display unit (105), wherein the storage unit (101) is configured to store personal information and corresponding viewing information of a viewer, the personal information including identification information; the receiving unit (102) is configured to receive the identification information of the current viewer; the comparing and matching unit (103) is configured to retrieve the matched personal information in the storage unit according to the identification information of the current viewer; the control unit (104) is configured to retrieve the corresponding viewing information stored in the storage unit according to the matched personal information, and perform a play control for a video, and the display unit (105) is configured to display the video information. Thus, an identity of the current viewer can be recognized, so that the corresponding viewing information can be acquired according to the personal information of the viewer to achieve an intelligent playing control for the video. The present disclosure has a good practicability and is well worth to be promoted.
