Wearable Video Device Location-Based Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current location-based services do not effectively provide users with contextually relevant video content based on their location, as they lack a seamless method to identify, display, and play video content recorded near the user's location using wearable devices.
Innovation Solution
A wearable video playing device that transmits location information to a video content provider, receives and displays video content identifiers associated with the location, and plays the selected video content, utilizing a user interface to showcase video content recorded within specified geographical and temporal boundaries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If location-based services track user device location to provide relevant content, then content relevance is improved, but user privacy and security concerns increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that processes location data through content provider servers rather than direct device-to-content matching. The wearable device transmits location information to a content provider, which then retrieves and returns relevant video content identifiers. This intermediary architecture allows location-based personalization while reducing direct exposure of sensitive user data.
2Adaptability or versatility
If wearable video playing device displays multiple video content identifiers, then user choice and content variety are improved, but device interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential video content identifiers and basic information needed for user selection, rather than displaying all available video metadata. The device receives video content information from the content provider and displays selected identifiers corresponding to videos recorded near the user's location, filtering out unnecessary details to maintain interface simplicity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If video content information is transmitted from content provider to wearable device, then content availability is improved, but communication energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by transmitting only video content identifiers and essential metadata from the content provider to the wearable device, rather than transmitting complete video files or extensive content information. The full video content is retrieved and played locally from the provider's servers when the user selects an identifier, minimizing the amount of data transmitted over the wireless interface and reducing energy consumption.

AI summary
In one example embodiment, a method performed under control of a wearable video playing device includes: transmitting identifying information for a location of the wearable video playing device to a video content provider; receiving, from the video content provider, video content information regarding a plurality of video contents recorded near the location; displaying, on a user interface, at least one video content identifier respectively corresponding to the video contents, wherein the at least one video content identifier is associated with the location; receiving an input to select one of the at least one video content identifier; and playing video content, from among the plurality of video contents recorded near the location, corresponding to the selected video content identifier.
