Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content presentation systems are decoupled from interactive communication channels, limiting direct relationships between broadcasters and viewers for supplemental content, and lack efficient methods for customizable and interactive audio/video content distribution.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that provide customizable interactive audio/video content through a processor, camera, display, and touch-screen interface, integrating images and user-selected content for coordinated presentations, enabling interaction on remote devices with abridged versions processed and transmitted, using a video mixer module and AI for dynamic background manipulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If decoupled separate communication channels are used for content delivery, then infrastructure simplicity is maintained, but direct interaction between broadcasters and viewers is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive capabilityVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines previously separate communication channels (broadcast content delivery and interactive communication) into a unified system where a single infrastructure handles both video streaming and real-time viewer interactions, enabling direct broadcaster-viewer communication while maintaining infrastructure efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The communication infrastructure is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously - delivering broadcast content, facilitating real-time interactions, and supporting customizable content delivery - thereby improving adaptability without requiring separate specialized systems

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

2Loss of information

If full coordinated presentations are transmitted to all remote devices, then complete content availability is ensured, but network bandwidth consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent completenessVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system delivers customized versions of coordinated presentations to different remote devices based on individual user preferences, device capabilities, and network conditions, ensuring each user receives appropriately tailored content rather than identical full-version transmissions to all devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system transmits only the necessary portions of coordinated presentations to each remote device - providing complete content availability for each user's specific needs while avoiding redundant transmissions of unnecessary content to reduce network bandwidth consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If real-time interaction results are displayed to all remote devices, then collaborative engagement is enhanced, but privacy and customization requirements are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive engagementVSAvoidprivacy loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system displays interaction results selectively to specific remote devices based on user preferences and privacy settings, allowing each user to control who can see their interaction contributions while maintaining overall collaborative engagement in the coordinated presentation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A system and method provide customizable interactive audio/video content to each of a plurality of computing devices. When executing at least some code stored in the memory, a processor generates a coordinated presentation by integrating in the memory, via a video mixer, one or more images from a camera with content selected by at least one user. Further the at least one processor is configured to process the coordinated presentation to provide an abridged version of the coordinated presentation at at least one of the remote devices.
