Cross-Platform Virtual Gift Currency Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face cumbersome operations and increased understanding costs when trying to interact with live broadcasts across different platforms due to distinct account systems and virtual currency exchange systems, leading to reduced user enthusiasm for participation.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method that allows for the conversion of virtual currency values between platforms, enabling users to send virtual gifts across platforms without re-registering accounts or understanding new currency exchange rules, by determining the second virtual currency value of a virtual gift on one platform and converting it to the first platform's currency for deduction from the user's account.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each live broadcast platform maintains its own independent account system and virtual currency exchange system, then platform independence and security are improved, but user operation complexity increases and cross-platform interaction becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a unified account system that acts as an intermediary between users and multiple live broadcast platforms. This unified account can authenticate users across different platforms without requiring separate registrations, while each platform maintains its own virtual currency system. The intermediary account system resolves the contradiction by enabling cross-platform access while preserving platform independence.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified account system provides multi-functionality by serving as the authentication and identification mechanism across multiple live broadcast platforms. A single account can access different platforms, and the system can handle various operations including gift-giving, authentication, and cross-platform interactions, thereby reducing user operation complexity while maintaining platform independence.
2Reliability
If users need to re-register accounts and understand new virtual currency exchange systems on each platform, then platform security and autonomy are maintained, but user time consumption and understanding costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authentication through the unified account system before users access individual platforms. User identities are verified in advance at the unified account level, eliminating the need for repeated registrations. Virtual currency values are also pre-calculated and stored, so users don't need to understand or recalculate exchange rates on each platform, significantly reducing time consumption while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified account system creates a copy of user authentication information that can be reused across multiple platforms. Instead of requiring users to create new accounts on each platform, the system copies and validates the original authentication data, allowing seamless cross-platform access without time-consuming re-registration processes.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate virtual currency exchange systems are used on each platform, then platform autonomy is preserved, but user enthusiasm for cross-platform interaction decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of currency conversion by automatically calculating and converting virtual currency values between different platforms based on predefined exchange rates. Users don't need to manually understand or calculate currency conversions; the system handles the parameter transformation transparently. This allows users to give gifts across platforms using their familiar currency, maintaining enthusiasm while preserving platform autonomy through automatic conversion mechanisms.
4Adaptability or versatility
If developers need to manage different currency exchange systems for each platform, then platform-specific requirements are met, but development complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the currency exchange system management from individual platform implementations and centralizes it in the unified account system. The complex logic of currency conversion, rate calculation, and exchange rate management is taken out from multiple platform-specific implementations and consolidated into a single centralized system. This reduces development complexity for individual platforms while still meeting their specific requirements through the unified system's configurable exchange mechanisms.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method for data processing, a server, and a live broadcast system. The method includes: in response to a gift giving instruction sent by a first electronic device through a first user account on a first live broadcast platform, the gift giving instruction including a gift identifier of a virtual gift, and a platform identifier and a host identifier of a second live broadcast platform, determining a second virtual currency value of the virtual gift on the second live broadcast platform according to the gift identifier, and converting the second virtual currency value to a first virtual currency value on the first live broadcast platform; and sending information corresponding to the virtual gift to a second electronic device in response to deducting the first virtual currency value from the first user account.
