Solution Overview

Problem

Current virtual streaming rooms have fixed forms and inflexible virtual hosts, leading to poor audience engagement and adherence due to a lack of customization to varying audience preferences.

Innovation Solution

A method for managing virtual streaming that includes a configuration interface for setting audience groups and virtual hosts, allowing for dynamic assignment of hosts based on audience features and requirements, enhancing flexibility and matching virtual hosts with specific audience groups.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If virtual streaming rooms use fixed forms and uniformly assigned virtual hosts, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but audience engagement and adherence deteriorate due to lack of customization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic host assignment where virtual hosts are not fixed to specific streaming rooms but are dynamically assigned based on audience features, host capabilities, and real-time conditions. The system allows virtual hosts to be flexibly allocated across different streaming rooms and audiences, transforming the static one-to-one mapping into a dynamic many-to-many relationship that adapts to varying needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the assignment parameters from fixed uniform allocation to flexible conditional allocation based on multiple factors including audience features (age, gender, interests), host capabilities (skills, performance metrics), and streaming room characteristics. This parameter-based assignment optimizes matching without significantly increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If virtual hosts are uniformly assigned to all audiences, then device complexity and system configuration are simplified, but streaming effectiveness and audience adherence deteriorate due to poor matching

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidstreaming effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the audience base into different groups based on features such as age, gender, and interests. Instead of treating all audiences uniformly, the system divides them into segments that can be matched with appropriate virtual hosts. This segmentation enables targeted assignment while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated classification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that track audience engagement metrics, host performance, and streaming effectiveness. This feedback is used to continuously optimize host assignment decisions, allowing the system to learn from past interactions and improve matching accuracy over time without requiring manual reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of manufacture

If fixed virtual hosting is used, then the ease of manufacture and initial setup are improved, but flexibility and adaptability to varying audience preferences deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of setupVSAvoidflexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal virtual host assignment system where a single pool of virtual hosts can serve multiple streaming rooms and diverse audience groups. Rather than requiring dedicated hosts for each room, the system designs virtual hosts with multi-functional capabilities and implements a universal assignment framework that can adapt hosts to different contexts based on real-time needs.

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

AI summary

Provided in the example embodiments are a method, electronic device, and computer storage medium for managing virtual streaming. The method for managing virtual streaming includes: providing a configuration interface for configuring a virtual streaming room with configuration settings, the configuration settings including at least an audience group setting, and a host setting related to a virtual host; receiving, via the configuration interface, configuration input corresponding to the audience group setting, and/or the host setting; and based on the configuration input, generating a host assignment rule, the host assignment rule for assigning at least one virtual host to at least one audience group. The example embodiments solve the problems in which the form of an existing virtual host is fixed, audience adhesion is poor, and use thereof is inflexible.
