Coded Data Selection for Remote Live Events
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote live event systems struggle to maintain a sense of presence for the remote audience by transmitting only dominant coded data, which limits the experience to voice and loud cheers, and attempting to decode all data increases server processing load and causes delays.
Innovation Solution
A signal processing apparatus and method that selects and combines pieces of coded data without decoding them, using a selection part to identify data targeted for combination based on attribute information and a combination part to combine the selected data, thereby reducing server processing load and maintaining realistic event sensations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all pieces of coded data are decoded and combined to preserve sense of presence, then the remote audience experience is improved, but the server processing load increases and delays occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary attributes (energy level, dominance) from the coded data without fully decoding it. The selection part analyzes these attributes to identify dominant coded data, and only this selected data is decoded and combined by the combination part, thereby reducing server processing load while maintaining sense of presence.
Solution Approach 2:
The selection part performs preliminary analysis of coded data attributes (energy level, dominance) before the combination part decodes and processes the data. This preliminary selection action filters out unnecessary data early, reducing the amount of data that requires full decoding and thus lowering overall server processing load.
2Productivity
If only dominant coded data is transmitted to reduce server processing load, then the processing load is reduced, but the remote audience cannot experience a sense of presence
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selecting and combining only the necessary portions of coded data (those with high energy level and dominance) rather than processing all data. This partial processing approach reduces server load while still capturing the essential characteristics needed for sense of presence.
Solution Approach 2:
The selection part changes the parameters for data selection from traditional methods to based on energy level and dominance attributes. This parameter change enables the system to identify and transmit only the most relevant coded data, balancing processing load reduction with maintenance of sense of presence.
3Reliability
If all coded data is processed to maintain realistic event sensations, then the audience experience is improved, but network communication load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The selection part extracts only the essential attributes (energy level, dominance) from the coded data to make selection decisions. This extraction approach allows the system to transmit only the necessary coded data for maintaining realistic sensations, reducing overall network communication load.
Solution Approach 2:
The selection part performs preliminary analysis of data attributes before transmission, identifying which coded data are necessary for realistic sensations. This preliminary action filters out redundant data early, reducing the quantity of data that needs to be transmitted over the network.
