Crowd-Sourced Media Channel Creation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional media broadcast models provide limited coverage of media events, failing to cater to diverse viewer interests due to high costs and impracticality of hiring production teams for multiple broadcast channels.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for crowd-sourcing media content selection, utilizing a computing device with processor and memory to receive and stream multiple video inputs from various locations, allowing users to create and select media channels based on popularity rankings and user annotations, and stream them to media devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a single-stream broadcast model is used, then production costs are reduced, but coverage of the entire media event is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the media event coverage into multiple independent video streams, each focusing on different aspects or angles of the event. Users can select and combine these segmented streams to create personalized broadcast channels, thereby achieving comprehensive coverage while catering to diverse viewer interests without requiring a single production team to cover everything.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to self-service by allowing them to select from multiple video streams and create their own customized broadcast channels. This eliminates the need for hiring additional production teams for each channel, as users autonomously curate content based on their interests, thus achieving versatile coverage at low cost.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple production teams are hired to create additional broadcast coverage, then diverse viewer interests are catered to, but costs become too expensive and impractical
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of hiring multiple production teams to create original content for each channel, the system uses copying by providing multiple video feeds from the same media event and allowing users to select and recombine these feeds. This creates the appearance of multiple specialized channels without the cost of multiple production teams, achieving versatility at minimal incremental cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a universal platform that serves multiple functions: it can create numerous specialized broadcast channels from a single set of video feeds, allowing one production effort to serve multiple viewer interests simultaneously. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate production teams for each channel.
3Ease of operation
If user-generated media channels are allowed, then viewer engagement is enhanced, but content quality control becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where users can rate, comment on, and provide feedback about media channels and content. This feedback loop allows the system to monitor and respond to content quality issues while maintaining user-generated content freedom, balancing engagement with quality control through community-driven evaluation and system-based moderation.
