Augmented Media Content Delivery System for Viewer Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for providing augmented media content, such as videos in 2D, 3D, Augmented, or Virtual Reality environments, require manual insertion of interactive points and annotations, making it cumbersome for viewers to access additional content, which limits the interactive and immersive experience.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that analyze viewer information and preferences to identify and retrieve relevant augmentation content from a database, integrating it seamlessly with media content in real-time, using communication and processing units to provide a dynamic and personalized experience based on viewer interactions and context.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If manual insertion of interactive points and annotations is used, then augmented media content can be provided to viewers, but the process becomes cumbersome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically analyzes media content to identify interaction elements and retrieves augmented content without requiring manual insertion by broadcasters. The automated content analysis unit and augmented content retrieval unit work together to self-configure the augmented media content delivery system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-identifies interaction elements in media content and pre-retrieves relevant augmented content from databases before broadcasting. This preliminary processing eliminates the need for manual setup during live broadcasting operations.
2Loss of information
If manual insertion of interactive points is required, then augmented content can be added, but viewer accessibility and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Viewers automatically receive augmented media content with interaction elements embedded by the system. The viewer device autonomously processes and displays augmented content without requiring manual configuration or complex user actions to access additional information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the base media content with augmented content and interaction elements into a unified augmented media content stream. This integration allows viewers to access additional information seamlessly within the media playback interface without separate manual steps.
3Adaptability or versatility
If automated analysis of viewer information and media content is implemented, then relevant augmented content can be retrieved dynamically, but processing requirements and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the automated processing into distinct functional units: a content analysis unit that analyzes media content, a viewer information analysis unit that processes viewer data, and an augmented content retrieval unit that fetches relevant content. This segmentation allows each unit to specialize in specific processing tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that analyzes both media content and viewer information, then uses this combined analysis to retrieve appropriate augmented content from databases. This intermediary layer enables personalized content delivery without requiring direct complex interactions between all system components.
