Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video distribution systems fail to effectively engage viewers by providing fixed reactions to user operations, leading to dissatisfaction and a decrease in user interactions, particularly in live streaming scenarios where immediate responses are challenging.

Innovation Solution

A distribution system that selects and distributes appreciation data in response to user operations, such as comments or rewards, from a group of predefined videos, ensuring timely and personalized feedback to viewers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If a fixed reaction image or video is displayed in response to user operations, then the system can provide immediate feedback, but user interest and satisfaction decrease over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse timeVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static fixed reactions to dynamic selected reactions by choosing from multiple predefined videos based on user operation type, time of day, and other conditions. This makes the reaction adaptive while maintaining quick response capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters such as reaction content, timing, and selection criteria based on user operation characteristics, time of day, and other variables. This allows the same quick response mechanism to adapt to different contexts and maintain user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple pieces of appreciation data are prepared for selection, then user satisfaction and engagement improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple appreciation videos are prepared and stored in advance before actual use. The system only handles selection and distribution at runtime, avoiding the complexity of generating reactions in real-time while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The appreciation data is segmented into multiple predefined videos categorized by different conditions (operation type, time of day, etc.). This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by handling each category separately through a unified selection mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If appreciation data is selected and distributed to user terminals, then user satisfaction increases, but data processing and distribution time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Appreciation videos are prepared and pre-positioned in the distribution server before user operations occur. This preliminary preparation eliminates processing delays during actual user interactions, as the system only needs to select and distribute pre-existing content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses copies of predefined appreciation videos rather than generating unique custom content for each user operation. This copying approach maintains personalization through selective copying while significantly reducing processing time compared to real-time generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A distribution system distributes a viewing video to a user terminal of each of plural users who are viewers, the distribution system having a computer receiving a user operation inputted from each user terminal, the computer selecting one or more pieces of distribution data from a distribution data group including plural pieces of distribution data in response to the user operation, and the computer distributing the distribution data selected by the computer to the user terminal from which the user operation has been inputted.
