Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies face challenges in intuitively and efficiently managing and using a plurality of content pieces across various platforms, leading to a redundant burden on platforms and difficulty for users in managing and utilizing content pieces.

Innovation Solution

A content processing method that utilizes a content management system with a central database and local databases for multiple content providers, enabling user authentication, hierarchical organization of content pieces in a virtual space, and managing rights through unique identifiers and editing information, allowing users to reproduce and edit content pieces while maintaining their uniqueness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple content providers manage content pieces through separate platforms, then content management functionality is provided, but users find it difficult to intuitively manage and use content pieces across platforms

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent management across platformsVSAvoidintuitive management of content pieces

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges content management functions from multiple separate platforms into a single unified virtual space. Content pieces from different content providers are integrated and displayed together in a common three-dimensional interface, allowing users to manage all content through one consistent environment rather than navigating multiple separate platforms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The virtual space serves as a universal platform that accommodates content from various sources and providers. The system provides multi-functional capabilities including browsing, selecting, reproducing, and editing content pieces within a single interface, making the system adaptable to different content types and sources while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of manufacture

If platforms establish their own environment for managing and providing content, then content management is enabled, but redundant burden is placed on platforms

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent management capabilityVSAvoidplatform environment setup

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal content management environment that can handle content from multiple providers without requiring each platform to build its own complete management system. The shared virtual space and common interface reduce redundancy by providing shared infrastructure for content storage, retrieval, and presentation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The virtual space acts as an intermediary layer between content providers and users. Rather than requiring direct integration between multiple platforms, the virtual space mediates by receiving content from various providers and presenting it through a unified interface, thereby reducing the complexity of direct platform-to-platform integration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If content pieces are organized hierarchically in virtual space, then intuitive organization is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveintuitive organization of contentVSAvoidhierarchical structure management

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional hierarchical displays to a three-dimensional virtual space arrangement. Content pieces are positioned in three-dimensional space with spatial relationships reflecting their hierarchical structure, making the hierarchy more intuitive to understand through spatial navigation rather than traditional tree views or nested lists.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The hierarchical organization is implemented through nesting where parent content pieces contain child content pieces within their virtual space representations. This nested arrangement allows users to explore content at different levels of hierarchy by interacting with parent objects, automatically revealing child objects without requiring explicit navigation through complex hierarchical menus.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

Method utilizing content providers providing content pieces including real data, database including content pieces which include management information including identifiers uniquely identifying a content piece, a user possessing the content piece, and a content provider providing the content piece, and a player enabling a client device on a user side to reproduce each content piece, including: authenticating the user by receiving information based on the user identifier; presenting content pieces of the authenticated user identifier to the authenticated user side client device; receiving an identifier of a content piece designated by the authenticated user via the client device; executing a search on whether the received content piece identifier is registered in the database; and if the result of the search indicates that the received content piece identifier is registered for the identifier of the authenticated user, causing the player to reproduce the designated content piece on the client device.
