Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing TV program interaction systems lack efficient methods for generating and distributing interaction distribution information between terminals, limiting user participation and engagement during live broadcasts.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that generate a buffered file storing the correspondence between TV play content, interaction distribution information, and distribution time, allowing a first terminal to obtain and send this information to a second terminal for participation in TV program interactions, using techniques like keyword, voice, and image recognition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If interaction distribution information is distributed in real-time during TV program broadcast, then user participation responsiveness is improved, but system complexity and information loss increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-obtaining and buffering interaction distribution information before the actual interaction moment. The first terminal receives and stores interaction information in advance, then retrieves it when needed for transmission to the second terminal. This eliminates real-time distribution delays while avoiding the complexity of real-time synchronization systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a buffered file as an intermediary between the information source and the interaction system. The buffered file stores interaction distribution information with timing metadata, acting as a mediator that decouples the information distribution from real-time broadcast requirements, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining responsiveness.
2Device complexity
If interaction distribution information is buffered and retrieved later, then system complexity is reduced, but interaction timing precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by obtaining and buffering interaction distribution information in advance, storing it with distribution time metadata. This allows the buffered file to retrieve the exact interaction information at the correct timing without requiring complex real-time synchronization, thus maintaining timing precision while reducing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The buffered file mechanism incorporates feedback by storing distribution time information alongside the interaction data. The system can verify timing accuracy by comparing buffered distribution times with actual interaction moments, ensuring timing precision is maintained without increasing system complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If interaction information is transmitted between terminals, then user engagement is improved, but information loss and transmission delays increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by creating a buffered file copy of the interaction distribution information at the first terminal. This local copy contains all necessary interaction data with timing metadata, allowing the second terminal to receive accurate information without loss. The copying mechanism ensures information integrity while enabling flexible multi-terminal engagement.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses an apparatus and method for participating into a TV program interaction, wherein the method includes: generating, by a first terminal, a buffered file in which a correspondence relationship between TV play content, interaction distribution information, and a distribution time of the interaction distribution information is stored; obtaining, by the first terminal, interaction distribution information, in a predetermined interaction period of time from the buffered file; and sending, by the first terminal, the obtained interaction distribution information, to a second terminal so that the second terminal participates into the TV program interaction according to the received interaction distribution information.
