ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING ALTERNATIVE CONTENT AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957765 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING ALTERNATIVE CONTENT AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device is described in this patent application. The device has a memory and a processor. When a content switching event occurs, the processor accesses the memory to execute computer-executable instructions. The device identifies the content information of a first type of content being output, retrieves a second type of content related to the first type based on the content information, and outputs the second type of content.

  • The electronic device has a memory to store computer-executable instructions.
  • The processor accesses the memory to execute the instructions.
  • When a content switching event is detected, the device identifies the content information of the first type of content being output.
  • Based on the content information, the device retrieves a second type of content related to the first type.
  • The device then outputs the second type of content.

Potential Applications

  • This technology could be used in smartphones, tablets, or other electronic devices to enhance the user experience by automatically providing related content when switching between different types of content.
  • It could be applied in streaming services to suggest related content to users based on their current viewing preferences.
  • This innovation could also be utilized in e-commerce platforms to recommend products or services related to the ones being viewed by the user.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of manually searching for related content when switching between different types of content on an electronic device.
  • It eliminates the need for users to actively search for related content, saving time and effort.
  • The innovation provides a seamless and personalized experience by automatically presenting relevant content to the user.

Benefits

  • Users can discover new content that is related to their interests without having to search for it themselves.
  • The technology enhances the user experience by providing a seamless transition between different types of content.
  • It increases user engagement and satisfaction by offering personalized recommendations based on their current content preferences.
