Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience in obtaining detailed information about content, such as advertisements on TVs or Large Format Displays, as they need to separately search for this information using computers or portable internet terminals, whereas existing techniques either broadcast or unicast program information or use access point identifiers without providing direct access to detailed content-related information.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine and insert content-related information into the identification information of a wireless transceiver, allowing this information to be transmitted and displayed without direct user input, using techniques like inserting tag information into SSID or other ID information, enabling immediate access to detailed content information on connected devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users separately search for detailed information through a computer or portable internet terminal, then detailed information can be obtained, but user convenience deteriorates and time is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetailed information accessVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically transmits content-related information to the wireless transceiver without requiring user initiation. The information providing apparatus autonomously identifies content, retrieves related information, and delivers it to the terminal device, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring active user searching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

A wireless transceiver acts as an intermediary between the information providing apparatus and the user's terminal device. It receives content-related information via wireless signal and transmits it to the terminal, eliminating the need for users to directly search through computers or internet terminals while ensuring information delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If content-related information is transmitted through separate searching processes, then information can be retrieved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retrievalVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The information providing apparatus pre-retrieves and prepares content-related information before the user needs it. By automatically obtaining information in advance and storing it ready for transmission, the system eliminates the time users would otherwise spend searching, as the information is prepared beforehand and immediately available for wireless transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous operation by automatically and continuously providing content-related information without interruption. The information flow from content identification to retrieval to wireless transmission occurs seamlessly without requiring user intervention at each step, ensuring uninterrupted information delivery and minimizing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Loss of information

If manual input is required to access detailed information, then information can be obtained, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic information provision without requiring user input. The information providing apparatus autonomously identifies content, retrieves related information, and transmits it through the wireless transceiver to the terminal device, completely eliminating manual input requirements and simplifying the user's interaction to merely viewing the displayed information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Loss of information

If information is broadcast or unicast separately from content display, then information can be provided, but integration and immediacy are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation provisionVSAvoidinformation integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges content display and information provision into a single integrated process. By embedding content-related information directly into the content display through the wireless transceiver, the system combines what was previously separate operations (content presentation and information delivery) into one unified experience, improving both integration and immediacy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
