Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video distribution systems lack effective mechanisms for enhancing interaction between distributing users and viewing users, leading to reduced engagement and shorter video viewing times.

Innovation Solution

A video distribution system that includes circuitry to detect user movement, transmit movement information, generate avatar objects, and store users in groups, allowing for evaluation and display requests, thereby facilitating interaction and engagement through group-based challenges and rewards.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a video distribution system creates animations based on actor movement and allows object display operations, then user interaction capability is improved, but user engagement and viewing time decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction capabilityVSAvoidvideo viewing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the avatar object's movement and expressions dynamically respond to the distributing user's real-time movements and emotions. The system captures the user's facial expressions, head movements, and body posture to animate the avatar, creating a lively and engaging representation that maintains viewer interest and extends viewing time while enhancing interaction capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating an avatar object that replicates the distributing user's physical movements and facial expressions. This virtual copy allows viewers to interact with a personalized representation of the user, increasing engagement and viewing time without requiring the actual user to be physically present, thus resolving the contradiction between interaction capability and viewing duration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system allows viewing users to display objects in videos, then interaction between distributing and viewing users is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction between distributing and viewing usersVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism by implementing a standardized object display request system. When a viewing user wants to display an object, they send a display request to the distributing user's device, which then processes and executes the request. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall system architecture by creating clear communication protocols between users, reducing complexity while maintaining enhanced interaction capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies universality by designing a multi-functional object display system that can handle various types of objects (gifts, stickers, virtual items) through a single standardized interface. The same display request mechanism works for different object types and interaction scenarios, reducing system complexity by avoiding the need for separate handling logic for each object category while still enabling rich user interaction.

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

AI summary

An information processing device displays a video including an avatar object on a display based on video data received from a server, displays a group to which a distributing user belongs in an identifiable manner in a video view or a video distribution list including images of multiple videos, and sends a display request to display an object in one of the videos to the server.
