Solution Overview

Problem

Cloud applications, such as cloud games, provide limited interaction manners due to the server-based rendering, resulting in a less immersive experience for users.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that enables a server to trigger multimedia feedback, such as vibration, consistent with the application content by establishing a communication connection with a cloud application client and controlling a physical device to execute multimedia feedback operations based on scene recognition and feedback information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If cloud application runs on server with video stream transmission, then user terminal can display application content, but interaction manners are limited and user experience is not immersive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction mannersVSAvoiduser experience immersion
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines video stream transmission with multimedia feedback transmission through a unified communication architecture. The server transmits both the video stream and multimedia feedback information (vibration, sound, light) to the terminal device, merging traditional video playback with enhanced sensory feedback to create immersive interaction experiences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a communication module as an intermediary between the server and terminal device. This module handles the transmission of multimedia feedback information, enabling the server to control physical devices (speakers, vibration motors, lights) on the terminal to provide immersive feedback that complements the video stream.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If only audio and video stream are transmitted from server, then transmission is simple, but multimedia feedback accuracy is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission structureVSAvoidmultimedia feedback accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the transmission content into distinct components: video stream for visual information and multimedia feedback information for sensory feedback. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining synchronized delivery to enhance feedback accuracy without overwhelming complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the server analyzes application content and generates corresponding multimedia feedback information. This feedback loop ensures that the vibration, sound, or light effects are precisely synchronized with critical moments in the video stream, significantly improving feedback accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
