Coordinated Presentation System for Interactive Video
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content presentation systems are decoupled, leading to an indirect relationship between broadcasters and viewers, limiting the ability to provide curated supplemental content that enhances the viewer experience.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for providing coordinated presentations that allow broadcasters to offer curated supplemental content alongside video content, using controllable display units that enable interactive media, allowing seamless integration and user interaction without interrupting video playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If supplemental content is provided through a separate communication channel, then the broadcaster can provide additional information to viewers, but the relationship between broadcaster and viewer becomes indirect and the viewer experience is less engaging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the primary video content channel and supplemental content channel into a single integrated presentation system. The coordinated presentation player combines video playback with interactive display units in one unified interface, allowing broadcasters to deliver both types of content through the same communication path and creating a direct broadcaster-viewer relationship.
Solution Approach 2:
The coordinated presentation player acts as an intermediary that receives video content and supplemental content separately, then integrates and coordinates them into a unified presentation. This mediator enables direct interaction between broadcaster and viewer by managing the synchronized delivery of both content types through a single interface.
2Adaptability or versatility
If interactive content is provided alongside video content, then user engagement is enhanced, but the video playback may be interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The presentation is segmented into distinct functional areas: a video content area and separate interactive display units. This segmentation allows video playback to continue uninterrupted in its designated area while interactive content is provided in separate, non-intrusive display regions, maintaining both engagement and continuity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to content delivery by using multiple display units arranged in different positions and sizes. Interactive content is placed in separate display units that coexist with the video content area, allowing users to interact with supplemental content without interrupting the video playback in the primary display area.
3Productivity
If multiple display units are used to provide coordinated presentations, then content delivery is enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The coordinated presentation player is designed as a universal platform that can handle video content, interactive content, and their coordination through a single integrated system. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into one unified device, managing complexity while enhancing content delivery capability.

AI summary
A system and method for providing uninterrupted video content in a portion of a display while simultaneously providing other content. A coordinated presentation is provided that comprises a content unit and a plurality of controllable display units. The content unit plays video content, a first controllable display unit plays first interactive video content and a second controllable display unit plays second interactive video content. Information regarding a selection event that occurred in the first controllable display unit is received, and a representation of the coordinated presentation is generated. The representation of the coordinated presentation is provided in a third controllable display unit without interrupting the playing of the video content. The first interactive video content is provided in the content unit, wherein the first interactive video content replaces the video content and without interrupting the playing of the first interactive video.
