Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content presentation systems lack integration and interaction capabilities, resulting in a decoupled experience between on-air programming and supplemental Internet-based content, failing to provide a personalized and immersive experience for viewers.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that enables a computing device to curate and integrate video and image content, allowing for interactive and dynamic presentations by tracking subject movement and modifying images to maintain content within a defined frame, enabling seamless interaction and enhanced viewer engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If supplemental content is provided through a separate communication channel, then content availability is improved, but integration and interaction between on-air programming and supplemental content deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent availabilityVSAvoidintegration capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple communication channels (broadcast channel and Internet channel) into a unified coordinated presentation system. The computing device receives data streams from both channels and integrates them into a single coordinated presentation that can be displayed together, enabling seamless interaction between on-air programming and supplemental content while maintaining content availability from both sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If multiple data streams are integrated into a coordinated presentation, then viewer engagement is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The computing device is designed with multi-functionality to handle various aspects of coordinated presentation delivery. It can receive and process multiple types of data streams (video, audio, data), synchronize them, modify images, track subject movement, and generate interactive presentations. This universal capability allows the system to manage complex multi-stream integration through a single versatile device, reducing overall system complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a nested structure where the coordinated presentation system contains multiple nested components: data streams are nested within the presentation framework, images are nested within the video content, and interactive elements are nested within the overall presentation. This hierarchical nesting allows complex multi-stream integration to be managed through organized layers, simplifying the system architecture while maintaining high viewer engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Manufacturing precision

If images are modified to track subject movement, then content focus is improved, but processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent focusVSAvoidprocessing requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selectively tracking and modifying only specific portions of images rather than processing entire frames. The system identifies subjects in images and tracks only their movement, modifying images to keep tracked subjects within defined display regions. This partial processing approach maintains content focus while significantly reducing processing requirements compared to full-frame analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Disclosed is a system and method for generating a coordinated presentation. Content selected by a user is curated, and a plurality of images are captured for inclusion. A first data stream for the curated content and a second data stream for the captured images are received. A portion of a subject within each second data stream image is defined. An appearance of movement is tracked, and at least some of the plurality of images in the second data stream is modified. The respective content associated with the two data streams is integrated, including the modified at least some of the plurality of images, to generate the coordinated presentation that is capable of transmission to and receipt by one or more remote devices, and wherein the coordinated presentation is configured to enable interaction with at least a portion of the curated content at each of the one or more remote devices.
