Solution Overview

Problem

Existing server systems for distributing online game video images and viewer comments do not display comments in a mode that corresponds to the gameplay status, limiting the engagement and information delivery to both players and viewers.

Innovation Solution

A distribution server system that includes a status obtainer to determine the gameplay status, a comment receiver to collect viewer comments, and a display mode controller to adjust the display of comments based on the gameplay status, ensuring comments are displayed in a manner that reflects the current game scenario.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If comments are displayed in a fixed manner regardless of gameplay status, then the display system is simple, but the engagement and information delivery are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomment display adaptabilityVSAvoiddisplay control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The comment display system transitions from a static fixed display to a dynamic adaptive display that automatically adjusts based on real-time gameplay status detection. The system monitors gameplay events and modifies comment display parameters (such as highlighting, positioning, or visibility) dynamically to match the current game context, thereby increasing adaptability without requiring complex manual control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop where gameplay status is continuously detected and fed back into the display control mechanism. Based on this feedback, the comment display is automatically adjusted to provide relevant information to players during specific gameplay moments, enhancing engagement while maintaining relatively simple system architecture through automated response mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If comments are displayed without considering gameplay status, then the system is easy to operate, but important comments may not be visible to players

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomment visibility reliabilityVSAvoiddisplay control ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display system performs self-adjustment based on automatically detected gameplay status without requiring user intervention. The system monitors gameplay events and autonomously modifies comment display parameters to ensure important comments are visible during critical moments, maintaining ease of operation while improving reliability through automated context-aware display control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
