Distributed Live Event Recording via User Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for providing live multimedia content lack user control and personalization, often failing to capture events of interest to individual users, who must rely on content providers' interpretations and have limited access to past or future events, resulting in a narrow representation of events and missed opportunities for personalized viewing experiences.
Innovation Solution
A distributed real-time network that connects multiple live multimedia capturing users to consuming users, enabling real-time capture, transmission, and interactive feedback to direct and personalize multimedia content, allowing users to search, filter, and dynamically manage content based on preferences, location, and interests, and enabling explicit and automatic recording of live events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional content providers manage and provide multimedia information based on their own interpretation, then the content delivery is simplified and controlled, but the user control and personalization capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional content delivery model by allowing users to control capturing users through feedback mechanisms. Instead of content providers deciding what to capture and how to present it, users can direct capturing users to focus on specific events, angles, and perspectives of interest to them, fundamentally reversing the control hierarchy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback loops where consuming users provide feedback to capturing users about what events, angles, or perspectives they find interesting. This feedback continuously shapes and personalizes the multimedia content being captured and transmitted, enabling dynamic user control without sacrificing system manageability.
2Device complexity
If a single content provider captures and transmits multimedia content, then the system complexity is reduced, but the comprehensiveness and multiple perspectives of event coverage is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the content delivery system into multiple independent capturing users, each equipped with capturing devices. This segmentation allows different users to capture the same event from different perspectives, locations, and angles simultaneously, providing comprehensive coverage without requiring a single complex centralized system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a universal platform where multiple capturing users can simultaneously perform the function of content capture and transmission. Each capturing user acts as an independent node that can capture various types of multimedia content from different viewpoints, making the overall system more robust and comprehensive.
3Ease of manufacture
If users rely on content providers to select and present multimedia content, then the content selection process is simplified, but the user interest matching and personalization capability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables users to serve their own content selection needs by directly controlling capturing users through feedback. Users can independently direct capturing users to focus on events and perspectives that match their interests, eliminating the need for content providers to interpret and select content on their behalf.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic content selection where user interests and preferences continuously shape the captured content in real-time. The feedback mechanism allows the system to adapt and adjust the captured multimedia content dynamically based on changing user interests, rather than relying on static pre-selection by content providers.
4Ease of operation
If capturing users record events from their own perspective, then the capturing process is simple and direct, but the user's desired personalized perspective may not be captured
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback from consuming users to guide capturing users on what perspectives and angles to focus on. This feedback loop allows capturing users to maintain simple recording operations while their captured content is continuously adjusted to match user-desired perspectives through real-time directional feedback.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent inverts the traditional approach by allowing users to direct capturing users rather than capturing users independently selecting what to record. This reversal enables personalized perspective capture while keeping the capturing process simple, as capturing users simply follow user-directed instructions.

AI summary
Methods and systems for processing multimedia content captured from a plurality of locations via one or more capturing devices include obtaining multimedia content from one or more capturing devices. The capturing devices identify a type of content being captured and/or location of capture. An interest type for multimedia content is obtained from a consuming user. The multimedia content from the capturing devices are searched based on the interest type of the consuming user. A subset of the multimedia content conforming to the interest type is presented in substantial real-time at the receiving devices of the consuming users. Feedback regarding the presented multimedia content is obtained from consuming users and communicated to the capturing devices in substantial real-time so as to influence future capture of multimedia content. The methods also include receiving a request for recording a live event wherein the request provides one or more recording preferences including one or more requester preferences for recording the live event. The request is dynamically matched to one or more generating users who have expressed intentions for recording the live event. The generating users are associated with one or more capturing devices that are configured to record the live event based on the recording preferences of the request. The request is then forwarded to the matched one or more generating users for recording the live event. User interactions at the recordings are monitored and fed back to the generating users for further refining the recordings.
