Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing SNS platforms are used for creator-fan communication, then content delivery from creator to fan is efficient, but fan-to-creator communication and sincere interaction are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional one-way communication model by enabling fans to directly send text messages to creators. The message sending function allows fans to initiate communication, and the message display function ensures creators receive and can respond to these messages, creating a two-way communication channel that reverses the conventional content delivery direction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms through the message display function that shows sent messages to both fans and creators, and through the message sending function that delivers fan messages to creators. This creates a closed-loop communication system where creators can receive feedback from fans and respond, enabling sincere interaction and communication verification.
2Productivity
If creators focus on artistic activities, then content quality improves, but income generation is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a message sending and display system as an intermediary between fans and creators. This communication platform enables fans to express support and appreciation directly to creators, creating a valued interaction channel that can be monetized through premium messaging features, subscriptions, or tipping mechanisms, thereby generating income for creators while maintaining focus on artistic activities.
3Adaptability or versatility
If fans use comments or 1:1 message for communication, then content sharing is possible, but communication satisfaction is low due to inability to verify message delivery
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback through the message display function that provides visual confirmation to fans when their messages are successfully delivered and displayed to creators. The system shows sent messages in the message display interface, giving fans immediate feedback that their communication reached the creator, thereby eliminating uncertainty about message delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a centralized message management system that acts as an intermediary to handle message transmission between fans and creators. This mediator system ensures reliable delivery by managing the message flow, storing messages, and providing delivery confirmation, thereby solving the verification problem inherent in direct communication methods.
