Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for delivering live event content, such as sports matches and reality shows, often result in low viewership during pre-match and post-match segments due to discontinuous and overlapping content feeds, failing to cater to individual viewer preferences, leading to reduced engagement and lost revenue.

Innovation Solution

A system that allows for dynamic content delivery by analyzing user preferences and metadata to generate personalized media content streams, enabling users to select from multiple concurrent feeds and prioritize content based on interest, with secondary streams being displayed alongside primary content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple content feeds are delivered simultaneously during pre-match and post-match segments, then content variety is improved, but content organization and viewer control deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent varietyVSAvoidcontent organization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments multiple content feeds (interviews, crowd celebrations, expert panels, statistics) into separate, independently controllable streams. Each feed type is delivered as a distinct content stream that can be individually selected, timed, and organized by the viewer based on their preferences, resolving the contradiction between providing content variety and maintaining organizational control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables dynamic content delivery where the composition, timing, and selection of content feeds are not fixed but can be adjusted in real-time based on viewer preferences and event timing. Viewers can dynamically select which feeds to watch and when, transforming the static edited feed into a dynamic, customizable content experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If a single edited feed is delivered to all viewers, then delivery simplicity is improved, but viewer preference alignment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery simplicityVSAvoidviewer preference alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a universal content delivery framework that serves multiple functions: it delivers the main event feed to all viewers while simultaneously providing personalized supplemental content streams to individual viewers based on their preferences. This multi-functional approach maintains delivery simplicity for the core content while enabling customization for each viewer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of creating entirely separate customized feeds for each viewer (which would be complex), the system uses the single edited feed as a base and creates simplified copies or selections of supplemental content streams that can be easily added or removed based on viewer preference, maintaining ease of manufacture while improving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Quantity of substance

If content feeds are discontinuous and overlapping, then content coverage is improved, but content reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent coverageVSAvoidcontent delivery consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary organization and timing setup for multiple discontinuous and overlapping content feeds before delivery. By pre-configuring the timing, duration, and sequence of each supplemental content stream, the system ensures that despite the discontinuous and overlapping nature of the feeds, the delivery remains reliable and consistent with proper transitions and timing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method and system for enhancing content delivery and viewer engagement by identifying pre-event, interval, and post-event segments of a live event. User preferences are determined for various content types within these segments based on user profiles and content consumption data. Multiple media content streams are tailored to these preferences, offering user-selectable options to switch between streams. Automatic switching may be provided between streams using real-time analytics, user interest, content availability, and metadata analysis. Priority media content streams may be determined based on user profiles, real-time interactions, and feedback. The pre-event segment may include live interviews, crowd gatherings, and expert panel discussions; the interval segment may include highlights, expert analysis, and statistics; and the post-event segment may include interviews, celebrations, and expert discussions. The content may be cast between devices. A cloud-based infrastructure may deliver the content.
