Solution Overview

Problem

Existing online service systems face challenges in sharing content and reactions across different platforms, leading to limited awareness and engagement of in-game events and content among non-users and inactive players, as notifications can be buried in vast news articles and comments are not synchronously shared across services.

Innovation Solution

A content sharing support device and online service providing system that enables the sharing of content and reactions between multiple online service systems, allowing for the transmission of news articles, reactions, and other content across platforms, thereby enhancing user engagement and motivation through cross-platform communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If content is published through online news services, then the content can reach a large audience, but the content may be buried in other news articles and fail to attract attention

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience reachVSAvoidcontent visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a content sharing support device as an intermediary between the online service providing device and multiple online news services. This mediator extracts important content from the original service, republishes it across multiple news platforms, and manages the distribution process, ensuring the content reaches wide audiences while maintaining visibility through coordinated multi-platform presence

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the content distribution process into distinct functional components: content extraction from the original service, content processing and formatting, multi-platform republishing through different news services, and reaction collection from various platforms. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while working together to solve the visibility problem

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If comments are posted on news articles in one online news service, then reader interaction occurs, but the comments cannot be viewed by readers of the same news article in another online news service

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereader interactionVSAvoidcross-platform compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The content sharing support device implements a universal comment system that collects reactions from multiple different online news services and makes them accessible across all platforms. The device aggregates comments from various news services and presents them in a unified manner, allowing readers on any platform to view and interact with the same set of comments regardless of which news service they access through

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the comment systems of multiple online news services into a single unified comment pool. By combining the reaction data from different platforms and presenting it through a common interface, the system enables cross-platform comment visibility and interaction, allowing readers to engage with the same discussions regardless of their access point

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Loss of information

If advertisement on mass media or Internet is used to notify non-users of in-game events, then awareness can be achieved, but the cost is high and the effectiveness is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveawarenessVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service content distribution by automatically extracting content from the online service, republishing it through multiple news services, and collecting reactions without requiring manual intervention. This automated self-service approach reduces operational costs while maintaining wide distribution and effectiveness, as the system performs the notification function autonomously across multiple platforms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
