Solution Overview

Problem

Existing network systems incur high costs when generating moving image data for display uniformly for all uploaded data, as discussed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-119092 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2022-96304 do not address this issue effectively.

Innovation Solution

A network system that includes one or more processors and memories configured to generate moving image data for display based on predetermined information during the upload process, such as user replay history or image characteristics, allowing for targeted generation of display data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If moving image data for display is generated uniformly for all moving image data to be uploaded at the time of uploading, then display functionality is ensured for all uploaded data, but processing cost increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay functionalityVSAvoidprocessing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of moving image data based on its characteristics. Instead of uniformly generating display data for all uploaded content, the system selectively generates display data only for moving images that meet specific criteria (such as being short duration, having particular content characteristics, or belonging to certain categories). This localized approach ensures display functionality is provided where most needed while avoiding unnecessary processing costs for content that doesn't require display generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of display data generation from a uniform binary state (generate for all or generate for none) to a conditional state based on multiple parameters. These parameters include moving image duration, content type, user preferences, and platform requirements. By dynamically adjusting the generation decision based on these parameters, the system optimizes the balance between ensuring display functionality and reducing processing costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Use of energy by moving object

If moving image data for display is generated selectively based on predetermined information, then processing cost is reduced, but the complexity of the upload processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing costVSAvoidupload processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by acquiring and analyzing predetermined information about the moving image data during the upload process before the actual display data generation occurs. The system pre-evaluates characteristics such as duration, content type, and metadata to determine in advance whether display data generation is necessary. This preliminary filtering action reduces the overall complexity by avoiding unnecessary generation steps while maintaining the ability to handle diverse content requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that allow the upload processing to adapt based on the characteristics of the incoming moving image data. Feedback from analyzing the data properties (duration, content characteristics, user profiles) informs the decision-making process for display data generation. This feedback loop enables the system to dynamically adjust processing behavior, reducing complexity by following a clear decision tree based on evaluated characteristics rather than attempting to handle all possibilities uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
