Bidirectional Live Video System for Product Introduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current support systems for product introduction via live video to smartphone terminals lack bidirectional communication capabilities, limiting user interaction and product exploration experiences.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and system that enables bidirectional communication between first and second user terminals by generating and transmitting distribution data containing captured images from both user-selected and seller-facing camera views, allowing for real-time image display and communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If unidirectional live video streaming is used for product introduction, then product information can be transmitted to users, but bidirectional communication capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines unidirectional live video streaming with bidirectional communication functions into a single integrated system. The server simultaneously handles video distribution and communication protocols, merging these previously separate functions into one unified platform that provides both information transmission and interactive capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The live video system is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both a product introduction channel and a bidirectional communication platform. The same video infrastructure supports both broadcasting product information and enabling real-time interaction between sellers and purchasers, eliminating the need for separate communication systems.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple camera views are transmitted simultaneously, then user interaction and product exploration experience are enhanced, but data transmission complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The video transmission system is segmented into multiple independent camera view streams (seller-facing camera and purchaser-facing camera). Each camera view is processed and transmitted as a separate data channel, allowing the system to handle multiple perspectives simultaneously while maintaining organized data flow and reducing overall transmission complexity through modular processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds a temporal dimension to video transmission by enabling real-time switching between different camera views. purchasers can dynamically switch between the seller's perspective and their own camera feed during the live video session, creating a multi-dimensional viewing experience that enhances interaction without requiring all views to be displayed simultaneously.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus is communicable with a first user terminal operated by a first user and a second user terminal operated by a second user. The information processing apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry generates distribution data according to which the first user terminal displays a first captured image and a second captured image, the first captured image being an image captured by a first image capturing device in a photographing direction selected by the first user, the second captured image being an image captured by a second image capturing device in a photographing direction of the second user. The circuitry transmits the generated distribution data to the first user terminal. The circuitry provides a bidirectional communication function to the first user terminal and the second user terminal.
