Electronic Device Viewer Participation via External Display Sync
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current content viewing experiences on electronic devices are limited as they do not allow for real-time interaction and communication with external display devices, preventing users from engaging in immersive viewer-participable experiences, especially when viewing content with others remotely.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication module, display, and processor that establishes a connection with an external display device, executes a message application, and displays a community service screen that changes in response to the content being viewed, enabling real-time data exchange and interactive experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users view content on electronic devices without external display devices, then device complexity is reduced, but viewer-participable interaction and communication capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an external display device as an intermediary component that enables content viewing and interaction. The external display device receives content from the electronic device and provides a larger viewing area, while also serving as a platform for community service features like real-time chat and content information display. This intermediary approach allows the electronic device to maintain relative simplicity while gaining enhanced interaction capabilities through the external display ecosystem.
2Productivity
If real-time content information is obtained from external display devices, then viewer-participable communication is enhanced, but data processing and connection management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the electronic device continuously obtains content information from the external display device and uses this information to dynamically update the community service interface. The system receives content metadata, adjusts chat displays based on content type, and provides real-time updates to participating users. This feedback loop enables adaptive, context-aware interaction while managing data processing through structured protocols for information exchange.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple external electronic devices are connected for participation, then viewer engagement is improved, but connection establishment and management becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the electronic device with universal connection capabilities that support multiple external display devices and various communication protocols. The system can establish connections with different types of external devices (TVs, monitors, smartphones) and automatically configure appropriate communication parameters. The community service application provides unified access points for multiple participants, abstracting away the complexity of individual device connections while enabling flexible, multi-device engagement scenarios.
