Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content providing systems face challenges in easily providing content along with its associated comments to users.

Innovation Solution

A content providing system that stores a script generated by a creator, including identification information of content and comment information, in a storage medium. This system allows users to browse and execute the script, enabling the provision of content and comments before or after the content is provided, using a control unit that manages user rights and contracts with specific services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If content and comments are provided separately through different processes, then the content provision system maintains simple structure, but the ease of providing content with comments deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of providing content with commentsVSAvoidsystem structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines content provision and comment provision into a single integrated process. The control unit simultaneously manages both content delivery and comment delivery based on user rights, allowing content and associated comments to be provided together through one unified operation rather than separate processes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The control unit is designed to perform multiple functions: it manages user rights verification, controls content provision, and controls comment provision. This multi-functional approach allows a single component to handle the complex task of providing both content and comments while maintaining system manageability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If comments are provided before content provision, then user engagement is improved, but the provision process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent provision efficiencyVSAvoidprovision process complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by providing comments to users before the actual content is delivered. The control unit retrieves and delivers comments associated with the content in advance, based on verified user rights, preparing the user experience before the main content provision occurs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The control unit acts as an intermediary that coordinates between the comment storage, content storage, and user delivery mechanisms. It manages the timing and sequence of comment and content provision, simplifying the overall process coordination while enabling the preliminary comment delivery feature.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A content provision system in which a script that is generated by a creator and includes identification information of content and comment information is stored in a predetermined storage medium to be browsable by a user, the content providing system including a control unit that performs control to execute reading, according to a script selected by the user, content indicated by content identification information included in the script by using a right that the user has already acquired by a contract with a specific service, and provide the content to the user, and control to read a comment according to the comment information included in the script and provide the comment to the user at least one of before or after the provision of the content.
