Solution Overview

Problem

In existing moving image distribution systems, users face difficulties in finding co-starring partners due to the large number of potential users, and there is a risk of delayed or denied co-starring applications, which hinders the promotion of co-starring functionality.

Innovation Solution

The system allows users to register as co-starrable users, enabling them to select a co-starring partner without permission from the partner, sets an upper limit on co-stars per user, and uses attribute information to match users for co-starring, facilitating co-starring without specifying a partner and managing co-star availability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users must select a moving image or co-starring partner from a large number of options, then the system maintains user freedom of choice, but the time and effort required to find a co-starring partner increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of finding co-starring partnerVSAvoidtime to find co-starring partner
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables co-starring applications to be automatically processed without requiring manual selection or permission from the target user. The co-starring application unit automatically selects a co-starring user and generates the co-starring moving image, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring user intervention in the matching process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The co-starring application unit acts as an intermediary that facilitates the co-starring process between users. It receives co-starring applications, automatically selects appropriate co-starring users from co-starrable users, and manages the generation of co-starring moving images, thereby mediating the interaction between potential co-starring partners.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If manual permission is required from the co-starring partner, then user consent is ensured, but the co-starring application may be denied or take a long time to be permitted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveco-starring application success rateVSAvoidtime for co-starring application permission
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system eliminates the need for manual permission by enabling co-starring users to automatically accept co-starring applications. The co-starring application unit directly generates co-starring moving images without requiring the target user's explicit consent, thereby ensuring application success while reducing time delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system allows unlimited co-starring applications, then user interaction opportunities increase, but the system becomes overloaded and difficult to manage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveco-starring participation flexibilityVSAvoidsystem management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically manages co-starring capacities by setting adjustable upper limits on the number of co-starring users per user and the number of co-starring moving images per user. These limits can be modified based on system conditions and user needs, allowing the system to adapt its capacity management while preventing overload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary registration of co-starrable users and pre-establishes upper limit values for co-starring participation. By preparing these constraints in advance, the system can efficiently manage co-starring applications without requiring complex real-time decision-making, thereby reducing management complexity while maintaining flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An aspect of the invention relates to a moving image distribution system. The moving image distribution system may include one or more processors. The one or more processors may execute a computer-readable command to register a distribution user that has made a registration request among a plurality of distribution users that distribute moving images including character objects generated based on their own movements, as a first co-starrable user, to select a first co-starring user from among a plurality of first co-starrable users in response to reception of a first co-starring application for co-starring with any of the plurality of first co-starrable users from a co-starring application user, and to distribute a co-starring moving image in which the co-starring application user and the first co-starring user co-star.
