3D Character News Streaming for Wireless Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing news-providing services in wireless communication networks lack user customization and fail to provide a dynamic, engaging experience, as they typically involve unilateral information delivery and lack the interactive elements of a live broadcast, making them monotonous and unable to satisfy diverse user preferences.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize 3D characters to deliver news information by converting real-time news into voice data, extracting mouth shape and facial expression data, synthesizing this data with background images and music, and transmitting it in a streaming mode to wireless communication terminals, allowing for personalized and engaging news delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If public broadcasting news are forwarded as is, then the news information can be transmitted to users, but the service becomes monotonous and cannot satisfy diverse user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments news information into multiple categories (politics, economy, society, entertainment, sports) and allows users to select specific categories of interest. This segmentation enables the service to adapt to diverse user preferences without requiring complete redesign of the news delivery system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic elements by providing real-time news updates with automatic refresh functionality. The news content can be dynamically updated based on user selections and timing preferences, making the service adaptable while maintaining manageable complexity through automated processes.
2Ease of operation
If automatic characters or pre-stored voice messages are used, then news information delivery is simple, but the user cannot extract desired information and receives unnecessary information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments news into categorized sections and enables users to select only the categories they are interested in. This segmentation allows users to easily extract desired information while avoiding unnecessary content, reducing information relevance loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where users can indicate their information preferences and the system adjusts the news delivery accordingly. This feedback loop ensures users receive relevant information while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive selection interfaces.
3Adaptability or versatility
If text or voice message format is used, then the news service is simple to implement, but it cannot give a feeling of presence like a TV announcer broadcast
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional text/voice interfaces to three-dimensional virtual character representations. This dimensional change creates a more engaging broadcast experience with visual presence while maintaining system complexity at manageable levels through the use of pre-rendered 3D models and automated animation systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses virtual 3D characters as copies of TV announcers to replicate the broadcast experience. These virtual avatars provide the feeling of presence without requiring actual human announcers, reducing system complexity while maintaining high adaptability for delivering news in an engaging format.
4Adaptability or versatility
If one user accesses the server, then the 3D character news can be provided, but another user accessing during the same period cannot receive the service
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the server system with universal capabilities to handle multiple user requests simultaneously. The 3D character news generation system is configured to serve multiple users concurrently through standardized interfaces and resource allocation mechanisms, increasing concurrent user support without proportionally increasing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary preparation of news content and 3D character data that can be served to multiple users simultaneously. By pre-processing and caching news information in a universally accessible format, the system supports multiple concurrent users while maintaining manageable server architecture complexity.
