Broadcast Comment Integration via Tag-Based Search
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies lack an innovative method to enhance the viewing experience for viewers watching a broadcast program by effectively displaying comments from a posting site, failing to integrate real-time viewer feedback and social interaction into the viewing experience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that acquires image information of broadcast programs and viewer comments using tags as search keys, allowing the display of comments related to a specific program across different broadcasting stations, providing an integrated and interactive viewing experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If comments from multiple broadcasting stations are integrated into the display, then viewer engagement and interactivity are improved, but the complexity of the information processing system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing apparatus is designed to handle multiple broadcasting stations through a unified system architecture. The comment acquisition unit can retrieve comments from any broadcasting station, and the display processing unit can integrate these comments with program images from different stations, making the system multi-functional and adaptable to various broadcasting scenarios without requiring separate processing systems for each station.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary comment acquisition unit that serves as a mediator between the broadcasting stations and the display processing unit. This intermediary component centrally manages the acquisition and processing of comments from multiple stations, reducing the complexity at individual processing points while enabling integrated display of comments across different broadcasting sources.
2Adaptability or versatility
If real-time comments from multiple sources are displayed simultaneously, then the viewing experience becomes more interactive, but the display processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display processing unit segments the display of comments by broadcasting station, organizing them into distinct visual groups. This segmentation allows real-time comments from multiple stations to be displayed simultaneously while maintaining clear visual separation, reducing processing complexity through structured organization and enabling the system to handle multiple sources without creating visual clutter or processing bottlenecks.
3Productivity
If comments are grouped by tags from different broadcasting stations, then the ability to discover popular programs improves, but the difficulty of organizing and processing comments increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses tag-based classification as a parameter change mechanism to organize comments. By transforming comments into structured data with tags as key parameters, the system can efficiently group and filter comments from different broadcasting stations, enabling program discovery through tag-based search while simplifying the organization process through standardized parameter handling rather than complex manual sorting algorithms.

AI summary
An information apparatus (11) is provided with: a comment processing unit (402) that acquires, from an external posting site, a comment of a viewer by using a tag as a search key, the comment is a viewer's feedback on the content of a program being viewed and related to a tag for grouping with other comments; and a display processing unit (78) that generates data to be displayed on a screen, the data include image of a program being broadcast by a first broadcasting station and at least one comment for a program being broadcast by a second broadcasting station different from the first broadcasting station.
