ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18382874 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that can receive a user command to display a recommended channel. It can identify multiple channels that provide video content based on the user's preferences at the time of the command. The device then selects the recommended channel from the identified channels based on the start and end times of the video content provided by each channel. Finally, the device controls the display to show channel information about the recommended channel.
- The device receives a user command to display a recommended channel.
- It identifies multiple channels that provide video content based on the user's preferences.
- The device selects the recommended channel based on the start and end times of the video content provided by each channel.
- It controls the display to show channel information about the recommended channel.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Personalized TV recommendations: The device can provide personalized recommendations for TV channels based on the user's preferences, allowing for a more tailored viewing experience.
- Content discovery: By analyzing the start and end times of video content, the device can help users discover new channels and content that align with their interests.
- Enhanced user experience: The ability to display channel information about the recommended channel can provide users with more information and context before deciding to watch a particular program.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Information overload: With the increasing number of channels and content options available, users may struggle to find relevant and interesting programs. This technology helps filter and recommend channels based on the user's preferences, reducing the information overload.
- Time-saving: By considering the start and end times of video content, the device can quickly identify channels that are currently airing content of interest to the user, saving them time and effort in searching for suitable programs.
Benefits of this technology:
- Personalization: The device takes into account the user's preferences to recommend channels, providing a personalized and tailored viewing experience.
- Convenience: By displaying channel information about the recommended channel, users can easily access relevant information and make informed decisions about what to watch.
- Time efficiency: The technology helps users quickly find channels that are currently airing content they are interested in, saving them time and allowing for more efficient TV viewing.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is an electronic device configured to receive a user command to display a recommended channel, identify a plurality of channels for providing video content corresponding to the preference information at a point in time at which the user command is received, identify the recommend channel from among the plurality of identified channels, based on at least one of a start time of a video content provided by each of the plurality of identified channels, and an end time of the video content provided by each of the plurality of identified channels, and control the display to display channel information about the identified recommended channel.
