Coordinated Presentation System with Video Mixer Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content presentation systems are decoupled from interactive communication channels, limiting the broadcaster's direct relationship with viewers and hindering seamless integration of supplemental content during broadcasts.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that provide customizable interactive audio/video content across multiple devices, integrating camera-captured images with user-selected content using a video mixer module, enabling coordinated presentations with interactive features and abridged versions, transmitted to remote devices with a touch-screen interface and graphical user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If decoupled separate communication channels are used for content presentation and interactive content, then system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the broadcaster's direct relationship with viewers is limited and integration of supplemental content is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the broadcast content channel and interactive communication channel into a unified system where supplemental content and interactive elements are integrated within the same presentation framework, enabling direct broadcaster-viewer interaction while maintaining content delivery
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a multi-functional communication platform that simultaneously handles content presentation, interactive communication, and supplemental content delivery through a single integrated channel, eliminating the need for separate decoupled channels
2Adaptability or versatility
If camera-captured images are integrated with user-selected content in real-time, then content presentation versatility is improved, but processing complexity and time requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and prepares user-selected content and camera feeds in advance, organizing them into readily accessible formats that can be quickly combined and displayed without extensive real-time processing delays
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses digital copying and rendering techniques to efficiently reproduce and integrate visual content from multiple sources, allowing rapid composition of camera-captured images with user-selected content without significant processing time penalties
3Adaptability or versatility
If interactive features are enabled at each remote device with private result viewing, then user engagement is improved, but system complexity and communication overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the interactive presentation into independent segments that can be executed and evaluated separately at each remote device, with results viewed privately, reducing the complexity of coordinating interactions across all devices simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary coordination layer that manages interactive features and result distribution, handling the complexity of private result viewing and device coordination centrally while keeping individual device implementations relatively simple
Data Source
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.
