Dynamic Betting Window for Live Competition Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems for purchasing betting tickets during competitions allow tickets to be bought at any time before the end of the competition, making it difficult for users to become immersed and increasing the desire to purchase tickets at the competition's highlights based on the situation.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a competition situation acquisition unit, a betting time setting unit that sets triggers based on the competition's progression, and a betting ticket purchase receiving unit, allowing users to purchase tickets within a dynamically set time frame after the competition has started, when the desire to purchase increases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If betting tickets can be purchased at any time before the end of the reception time set between the start and end of the competition, then the betting system is simple and flexible, but users cannot become immersed in the competition and the desire to purchase tickets at highlight moments is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the betting reception time dynamic rather than static. The betting reception time is determined based on the actual progression of the competition, specifically from when it can be determined whether a competitor has reached the front to a predetermined time after the start. This dynamic adjustment ensures that betting opportunities are aligned with exciting moments in the competition, thereby increasing user engagement while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback from the competition situation to adjust the betting reception time. The system monitors the competition progress and determines the appropriate betting window based on whether competitors have reached the front and the elapsed time since the start. This feedback mechanism ensures that betting is available during highlight moments when user desire to purchase is highest, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and user engagement.
2Adaptability or versatility
If betting reception time is set from the start of the competition to the end, then the betting window is long and flexible, but users may purchase tickets without watching the entire competition and immersion is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the betting window dynamic by setting it from when it can be determined whether a competitor has reached the front to a predetermined time after the start of the competition. This dynamic window ensures that users have sufficient time to watch the competition and make informed decisions, while still maintaining flexibility for latecomers. The window adapts to the actual competition pace and highlights, resolving the contradiction between flexibility and user attention investment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by determining the betting reception time in advance based on expected competition progression. The system pre-calculates the window from when a competitor is likely to reach the front to a predetermined time after start, allowing users to plan their viewing and betting accordingly. This reduces the loss of user attention time while maintaining adaptability to different competition scenarios.
3Ease of operation
If betting can be done at any time during the competition, then the system is simple to operate, but it is difficult for betting persons to become immersed in the competition and increase desire to purchase at highlight moments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by aligning the betting reception time with the dynamic progression of the competition. Instead of a fixed window from start to end, the system sets the window from when it can be determined whether a competitor has reached the front to a predetermined time after start. This dynamic alignment ensures that betting is most accessible during highlight moments when user desire to purchase is naturally highest, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and desire generation.

AI summary
There is provided an information processing device that enables the purchase of a betting ticket at a timing when a desire to purchase increases according to the situation of the competition after the start of the competition. An information processing device includes: a competition situation acquisition unit that acquires a competition situation before and after the start of a competition between a plurality of competitors; a betting time setting unit that sets a betting time by setting a betting start trigger and a betting end trigger from a time when it is determined whether or not an order-of-finish determination part of any one of the plurality of competitors has reached a front to a predetermined time after the start of the competition; and a betting ticket purchase receiving unit that receives a purchase of a betting ticket within the set betting time.
