Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for displaying web-based content on large screens, such as TVs, are cumbersome and resource-intensive, requiring physical connection of computers and manual navigation, lacking user-friendliness and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A smart TV device application that includes a web-based content collection and transformation service to access, transform, and store web-based content for presentation, allowing easy installation and control via remote, without needing separate browser-enabled computers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If web-based content is displayed on large screens using traditional methods (connecting computer to TV), then the content can be viewed on large display, but the process becomes cumbersome and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The smart TV device performs web browsing and content retrieval autonomously without requiring external computer control. The system self-navigates to web content, automatically transforms it into appropriate formats, and displays it on the large screen, eliminating the need for manual computer-TV connection and navigation
Solution Approach 2:
A content transformation service acts as an intermediary between the web content source and the display system. This intermediary component automatically converts web-based content into display-ready formats, simplifying the overall process and eliminating the need for direct computer intervention
2Area of stationary object
If web-based content is displayed on large screens using traditional methods, then content can be viewed, but physical connection and manual navigation are required
Solution Approach 1:
The smart TV device independently performs all web browsing operations, content selection, and display configuration without requiring external computer control or manual connection setup, thereby reducing system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines web browsing capability, content transformation, and display functionality into a single integrated smart TV system, eliminating the need for separate computer and TV components working together
3Ease of operation
If web-based content is accessed directly on smart TV device, then ease of operation improves, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
A content transformation service acts as an intermediary that handles the resource-intensive tasks of web content retrieval and format conversion, allowing the smart TV to display content with reduced local resource consumption while maintaining ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates transformed copies of web content in display-optimized formats, allowing the smart TV to efficiently display content without continuously processing raw web pages, thereby reducing ongoing resource consumption
