Solution Overview

Problem

Existing online communication tools struggle to accurately represent participant responses in conferences or seminars, necessitating improved techniques for capturing and presenting participant feedback.

Innovation Solution

A delivery server that acquires participant responses, generates reaction information reflecting these responses in the delivered content, and updates the content in real-time to accurately represent participant feedback, including information on the target content and response time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If online communication tools are used to transmit and receive content, then information can be delivered to multiple participants, but the accuracy of representing participant responses is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of representing participant responsesVSAvoidloss of response context
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds temporal and contextual dimensions to response representation by including reproduction time information and target content identification. This transforms simple response data into multi-dimensional response records that preserve both when and what the response referred to, enabling accurate reconstruction of the response context without losing information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where participant responses are collected, processed with contextual information (reproduction time, target content), and delivered back to both the speaker and other participants. This closed-loop feedback ensures that response information is accurately represented and can be used to adjust the delivery content in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If response information is collected from multiple terminals, then participant feedback can be captured, but the complexity of processing and delivering accurate response information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability to capture participant feedbackVSAvoidcomplexity of processing response information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The delivery server is designed with multi-functional capabilities to handle diverse response information from multiple terminals. It universally processes different types of responses (likes, comments, reactions) by standardizing them into a common format that includes reproduction time and target content identification, simplifying the processing complexity while maintaining adaptability to various participant feedback types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The delivery server acts as an intermediary between multiple participant terminals and the content delivery system. It receives, standardizes, and processes response information from various terminals, then delivers the processed information back to the appropriate parties. This intermediary role simplifies the overall system complexity by centralizing the processing logic and providing a uniform interface for all participants.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If reaction information is generated to reflect responses in the first content, then accurate representation of responses is achieved, but the time required to process and deliver updated content increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of response representationVSAvoidtime to process and deliver updated content
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-identifying the target content and reproduction time when response information is first received. This preliminary processing organizes the data in advance, so that when reaction information needs to be generated, the contextual elements are already prepared and can be quickly integrated into the first content without causing time delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system generates reaction information by creating structured copies of the response data that include references to the original target content and reproduction time. These copied response records can be efficiently processed and integrated into the content delivery stream without requiring complex real-time analysis, thus reducing the time needed to generate and deliver updated content while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A delivery server delivering first content to a plurality of information processing terminals includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire response information indicating a response to the first content from the plurality of information processing terminals; a generation unit configured to generate reaction information for reflecting the response in the first content on the basis of the response information; and a delivery unit configured to deliver the reaction information or second content in which the reaction information is reflected in the first content to the plurality of information processing terminals. The response information includes information indicating a reproduction time of target content to which the response has been made in the first content and a response target to which the response has been made in the target content. The generation unit identifies the target content and the response target on the basis of the response information and generates information for reflecting the response in the reaction target in the identified target content as the reaction information.
