Broadcast Mobile Application for Automatic Content Sharing

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems require users to manually select and share content across multiple applications, lacking automatic and dynamic broadcasting capabilities, especially to specific groups or event-based audiences.

Innovation Solution

A broadcast mobile application interacts with media applications to automatically detect and upload content to a broadcast server, enabling dynamic broadcasting to users based on location or event participation without manual intervention, using native media capture applications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually select and share content across multiple applications, then content can be shared with control over the process, but user effort and time consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser effortVSAvoidtime consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring broadcast parameters (audience selection, geographic range, event associations) before content creation. When content is captured, the broadcast mobile application automatically detects it and initiates broadcasting without requiring users to manually configure settings each time, thus reducing user effort and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The broadcast mobile application operates as a background process that automatically detects content created by media applications, determines appropriate broadcast parameters, and uploads content to the broadcast server without user intervention. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for users to manually select and share content across applications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If a single application reproduces native camera functionality, then content capture and sharing can be unified, but application complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveintegration capabilityVSAvoidapplication complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides functionality into separate specialized applications: a media application (e.g., native camera app) for content capture and a broadcast mobile application for broadcasting management. These applications communicate through standardized interfaces, allowing each to remain simple while achieving unified content capture and sharing capabilities through integration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The broadcast mobile application is designed to work with multiple different media applications (camera apps, video recorders, etc.) through universal detection mechanisms and standardized communication protocols. This allows a single broadcast application to integrate with various content creation tools without increasing its own complexity, as it handles broadcasting logic independently of the specific media application used.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Extent of automation

If automatic broadcasting to all users is implemented, then content sharing is simplified, but loss of audience control and privacy management increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveautomatic broadcastingVSAvoidaudience control

Core Design Contradiction:

Extent of automationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Users pre-configure broadcast parameters including audience selection (specific users, groups, or geographic ranges) and event associations before content creation. The broadcast mobile application retrieves these pre-set parameters automatically when detecting content, enabling automated broadcasting while maintaining precise audience control and privacy management through the pre-configured settings.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

4Productivity

If manual content selection and uploading is required, then content quality control is improved, but productivity and content sharing speed decrease

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent sharing speedVSAvoidcontent quality control

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The broadcast mobile application automatically detects content created by media applications, retrieves pre-configured broadcast parameters, and uploads content to the broadcast server without user intervention. This self-service mechanism maintains content quality control through automated parameter application while dramatically improving content sharing speed and productivity by eliminating manual selection and uploading steps.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The presently disclosed subject matter includes a system to receive, from a plurality of compute devices, a set of media files and a set of geolocations, each media file from the set of media files captured by a compute device from the plurality of compute devices and each geolocation from the set of geolocations associated with a compute device from the plurality of compute devices. The system determines an event geolocation based on the set geolocations. The system sends a request message to a compute device from the plurality of compute devices when it is determined that the compute device is departing from the event geolocation. The system receives from the departing compute device, at least one media file associated with the event and publishes, via a host server, the set of media files and the at least one media file associated with the event.
