Content Reward Calculation Using Location and Playback Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for compensating content creators do not accurately reward them based on content consumption in commercial facilities, as rewards are often based on facility area rather than actual user consumption.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that measures the number of users consuming content in a given space using location information and playback records, calculating and providing rewards to the content creators' accounts, with options for advertising revenue sharing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If rewards are based on facility area, then space providers receive compensation, but content producers do not receive fair compensation for actual content consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that collects location information from user terminals, correlates it with content playback records, and calculates rewards. This mediator processes the complex measurement task centrally, enabling precise content consumption tracking without requiring complex local measurement devices at each facility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring user location information and content playback records, then using this data to calculate and provide rewards to content producers. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that compensation is directly tied to actual content consumption patterns rather than static facility characteristics.
2Measurement precision
If user location information is continuously monitored to measure content consumption, then accurate reward calculation is achieved, but user privacy and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent leverages the universal functionality of location-based services already present in user terminals (smartphones, tablets) to measure content consumption. Instead of implementing a separate complex tracking system, the invention reuses existing location capabilities for the dual purpose of navigation and consumption measurement, reducing overall system complexity.
3Reliability
If rewards are distributed based on actual content playback records, then content producers receive fair compensation, but verification and measurement accuracy become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual or mechanical verification methods with automated electronic verification using location information and digital playback records. The server automatically correlates GPS coordinates with content playback data, eliminating the need for physical verification and significantly reducing the difficulty of measuring actual content consumption for reward distribution.

AI summary
Provided is a method for providing a reward based on consumption of content performed by a computing device. The method comprises querying a user terminal located in a first space by using location information of a first space, measuring the number of users located in the first space according to the number of the queried user terminals and a first content playback record and calculating a first reward for the first content by using the measured number of users and the first content playback record, and providing the first reward to an account of a producer linked to a producer terminal of the first content.
