Event Capture Control for Automatic Broadcast Recording
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional broadcast systems require manual input to schedule recordings, limiting flexibility and failing to automatically record content based on user interests or online activities.
Innovation Solution
An event capture system that identifies live events associated with a client device, generates recording instructions for broadcast receiver devices, and transmits them to initiate automatic recording based on user inputs from other computing devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If manual input is required at the broadcast receiver device to schedule recordings, then the system maintains simple architecture, but the flexibility and automation capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an event capture system as an intermediary component that receives client messages from computing devices and translates them into recording instructions for broadcast receiver devices. This mediator handles the complexity of cross-device communication and automation logic, allowing the broadcast receiver to remain relatively simple while achieving automated recording based on user actions on other devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system divides the automation functionality into separate components: the event capture system handles message reception and instruction generation, while the broadcast receiver device handles execution of recording instructions. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, with the event capture system providing automation intelligence and the receiver device maintaining operational simplicity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the broadcast system is isolated from other computing systems, then the system maintains security and simplicity, but the adaptability to capture user interests and online activities deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The event capture system is designed to receive various types of client messages from different computing devices (mobile phones, tablets, computers) and translate them into universal recording instructions that can be executed by broadcast receiver devices. This multi-functional design allows the system to integrate with diverse computing platforms while maintaining a standardized communication protocol, enhancing adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.
3Extent of automation
If conventional broadcast systems are used without external communication, then the system maintains operational reliability, but the ability to automatically record based on user interests deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a feedback loop where client messages about user interests and online activities are captured, processed into recording instructions, executed by the broadcast receiver, and the recording status is tracked. This feedback mechanism ensures that automated recordings are reliably triggered by user actions while maintaining system stability through structured communication protocols and error handling.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides event capture systems having one or more processors coupled to memory. The event capture system can identify a wager corresponding to a live event associated with a client device. The event capture system can identify a broadcast receiver device corresponding to the client device. The event capture system can generate recording instructions for the broadcast receiver device that cause the broadcast receiver device to initiate a recording of a broadcast of the live event. The event capture system can transmit the recording instructions to the broadcast receiver device to cause the broadcast receiver device to schedule a recording for the broadcast of the live event.
