Solution Overview

Problem

In the context of short-form video ecommerce environments, existing technologies fail to effectively engage customers in real-time product demonstrations and sales interactions, leading to missed opportunities for personalized marketing and increased sales.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of immediate livestreams within ecommerce websites, where AI-driven machine learning models identify user groups with shared interests and trigger events to create dynamic, interactive livestreams that allow for real-time product demonstrations and purchases, facilitated by knowledgeable hosts and interactive overlays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional short-form video content is used in ecommerce environments, then content delivery is simple and fast, but customer engagement and personalized interaction are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent deliveryVSAvoidcustomer engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically transitions from static short-form videos to dynamic livestreams based on real-time user behavior signals. When users exhibit interest in a product category, the system activates a livestream event with knowledgeable hosts who can interact with viewers, answer questions, and provide personalized product recommendations, thereby transforming the engagement model from passive viewing to active participation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop where user interactions with short-form videos (such as watch time, likes, and comments) are continuously monitored and fed back to the AI-driven machine learning model. This feedback triggers the creation of targeted livestreams that address specific user interests, creating a closed-loop system that adapts content delivery based on real-time user responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If AI-driven machine learning models are implemented to identify user groups and create immediate livestreams, then personalized marketing and customer engagement improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized marketingVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs AI-driven machine learning models that automatically analyze user behavior patterns, identify interest groups, and trigger livestream events without requiring manual intervention. The AI model self-adjusts by learning from user interactions and continuously optimizing which users to target and what types of livestreams to create, reducing the need for complex manual configuration while maintaining high personalization levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The AI-driven platform serves multiple functions within a single system: it monitors user behavior across different product categories, identifies various user interest groups simultaneously, creates multiple targeted livestreams, and manages the coordination between short-form video content and livestream events. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into one unified platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If immediate livestreams are created for user groups with shared interests, then sales opportunities and audience retention increase, but resource consumption and operational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesales conversionVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates livestreams selectively rather than continuously for all users. By using AI to identify specific user groups exhibiting genuine interest in particular product categories, the system activates livestreams only when and where they are most likely to convert, avoiding the resource waste of deploying livestreams to uninterested audiences while still capturing high-value sales opportunities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the user base into distinct interest groups based on their interactions with short-form video content. Rather than creating a single generic livestream for all users, the system divides users into targeted segments and creates specialized livestreams for each segment, allowing resources to be focused on high-potential groups while reducing overall resource consumption through precise targeting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for immediate livestreams in a short-form video ecommerce environment. A website that includes a plurality of products for sale is accessed. The website is viewed by a plurality of users. One or more groups of users is identified. Each of the one or more groups includes users with an interest in one or more products from the plurality of products for sale. An immediate livestream is created for each group of the one or more groups of users when a number of users within each group is higher than a threshold value. The immediate livestream includes the one or more products. The immediate livestream is rendered within the container unit on the website to each group of the one or more groups of users. An ecommerce purchase of the one or more products is enabled within the immediate livestream.
