Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional broadcast systems are unable to provide customized or device-specific information to broadcast receiver devices due to their one-to-many configuration, making it challenging to monitor and display relevant information with broadcast content.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for generating notification interfaces based on interactions with broadcast events, which involves identifying broadcast receiver devices, determining content item arrangements, and transmitting display instructions to display information with live broadcasts, allowing for customized content item display without interrupting the broadcast.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional broadcast systems use one-to-many configuration to deliver content, then content delivery efficiency is improved, but the ability to provide customized or device-specific information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery efficiencyVSAvoidcustomization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The broadcast system segments the homogeneous one-to-many delivery into differentiated streams by creating separate notification channels for different receiver devices. Each device receives customized notifications based on its specific characteristics, interactions, and user preferences while the main broadcast content continues to be delivered efficiently to all devices simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by tailoring notification content, timing, and presentation to each specific broadcast receiver device. Different devices receive different types of notifications (e.g., purchase reminders, fantasy sports alerts, game score updates) based on their individual user interactions and preferences, while the core broadcast content remains unchanged for all receivers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of information

If the system displays notifications with broadcast content, then information relevance is improved, but the quality of content broadcast may deteriorate due to interruptions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation relevanceVSAvoidcontent broadcast quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system adds another dimension to the broadcast display by utilizing the screen border region or overlay areas. Notifications are displayed in these peripheral areas rather than interrupting or replacing the main broadcast content, allowing both the broadcast content and notifications to coexist without compromising the quality or immersion of the primary content delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The notification interface is nested within the broadcast content display framework. Notifications are embedded as overlay elements or border annotations that exist within the same display space as the broadcast content, allowing the broadcast to continue uninterrupted while providing additional information layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

Systems and methods for generating notification interfaces based on interactions with broadcast events are provided. The system can maintain content items corresponding to a live event, and identify interactions provided via a broadcast receiver device while the broadcast receiver device presented corresponding historic live event broadcasts. The system can determine an arrangement of the content items corresponding to the live event based on attributes of the historic live event broadcasts. The system can generate display instructions for the broadcast receiver device that cause the broadcast receiver device to display the content items with a broadcast of the live event according to the arrangement, and transmit the display instructions to the broadcast receiver device to cause the broadcast receiver device to display the content items with the broadcast of the live event.
