Comment Distribution Layout for Readable High-Volume Video Chats
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing comment distribution systems face issues where a large number of viewer comments overlap on the screen, making them difficult to read, and thinning out comments to manage the volume can discourage viewers and contributors.
Innovation Solution
A system that classifies comments into first and second categories, displaying first comments both in the video display area and a comment field, and second comments only in the comment field, ensuring all comments are visible without overwhelming the viewer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all comments are displayed in the video display area, then viewer engagement is maintained, but the screen becomes overcrowded and comments become difficult to read
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display area into two distinct zones: a video display area for showing selected comments and a comment field area for displaying all submitted comments. This segmentation allows the system to maintain viewer engagement by showing engaging comments in the video area while ensuring all comments remain visible and readable in the comment field area, thus resolving the contradiction between engagement and readability.
2Ease of operation
If comments are thinned out to manage volume, then screen overcrowding is reduced, but viewer excitement and engagement decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to comment display by utilizing both the video display area and the comment field area simultaneously. Instead of thinning out comments to manage screen volume, the system distributes comments across two dimensional spaces: selected engaging comments appear in the video display area while all comments are displayed in the comment field area. This dimensional expansion allows full comment visibility without overcrowding the primary video area, maintaining both screen manageability and viewer excitement.
3Ease of operation
If comments are displayed only in the comment field, then screen clutter is avoided, but contributor visibility and interaction quality decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functionality of two display areas: the video display area and the comment field area work together to provide comprehensive comment visibility. The video display area shows selected comments that enhance the viewing experience, while the comment field area displays all submitted comments. This merging of display functions ensures that video display clarity is maintained while preventing any loss of comment information, as all comments remain accessible in the comment field area.

AI summary
This comment distribution system includes a contributor terminal, a video distribution server, a comment distribution server that distributes comments input regarding the video, and a viewer terminal for displaying the video and comments received. The comment distribution server includes a comment receiving part for receiving comments, a comment classifying part for classifying the comments into first comments that are displayed both in a video display area and in a comment field outside the video display area and second comments that are displayed only in the comment field, and a comment distributing part for distributing the first comments and the second comments. The viewer terminal includes a video display part for displaying video received and a comment receiving part for receiving the first comments and the second comments. The video display part displays the first comments in both the video display area and the comment field and displays the second comments in only the comment field.
