Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content presentation systems lack integration between primary and supplemental content, resulting in a decoupled experience for viewers, limiting personalization and interaction.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that enables a computing device to curate and integrate audio/visual content, allowing users to select and manipulate content for a coordinated presentation, which can be transmitted and interacted with remotely, using modules for content curation, display, and video mixing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a separate communication channel is used for supplemental content, then content delivery is simplified, but viewer engagement and personalization are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent deliveryVSAvoidviewer engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the primary broadcast channel and supplemental content channel into a unified coordinated presentation system. The video mixer module integrates multiple content sources (broadcast video, supplemental content, user interactions) into a single coordinated output, allowing the broadcaster to control and synchronize all content streams through one system rather than managing separate decoupled channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Quantity of substance

If all curated content is displayed, then information completeness is improved, but user control and focus are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiduser control
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display module implements dynamic content display where the arrangement and visibility of curated content can change based on user interactions and presentation state. Users can manipulate portions of content through the touch-screen interface, and the system dynamically adjusts what is displayed versus what is available in the curated content pool, allowing both completeness and control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The curated content is segmented into manageable portions that can be individually selected and manipulated by users. The touch-screen interface allows users to work with specific portions of content rather than treating all content as a single block, enabling focused interaction while maintaining access to the complete curated set.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If interactive content is synchronized across all remote devices, then coordination is improved, but individual user experience customization is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent synchronizationVSAvoidindividual user experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements local quality by allowing each remote device to have customized display arrangements and content portions based on user preferences and interactions. While the core coordinated presentation remains synchronized across all devices, each user can manipulate their own view, select different content portions, and have personalized interactions that don't affect other users' experiences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Disclosed is system and method to generate coordinated presentation, and that includes: a curating content module to curate content selected by a user for inclusion in the coordinated presentation; an audio/visual input module to capture, at least via a camera, a plurality of images for inclusion in the coordinated presentation; a display module to display, via a display coupled to the computing device, a first arrangement of all of the curated content. Moreover, a user interface module can be provided that comprises a touch-screen interface to enable user-based selection and manipulation of a portion of the curated content and a video mixer module to integrate the plurality of images captured by the camera together with a portion of the curated content via a user selection from the touch-screen interface. The coordinated presentation is configured to enable respective interaction with the portion of the curated content at each of the remote devices.
