Event-Centric Multimedia Aggregation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current social networking systems fail to aggregate and associate content among users based on events, shows, or products, leading to fragmented information and inefficient communication among attendees, making it impossible to record or curate events collectively.
Innovation Solution
A web-based system with a multimedia gathering module, control module, and communications means that receive, control, and display multimedia content from users, forming a collective content that can be transmitted to both group and personal screens, enabling an audience-centric instant micro forum for sharing media and communications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users share content individually through social networking services, then users can communicate with each other, but the content remains fragmented and not collectively associated with the event
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges individual user content contributions into a unified event-associated content collection. The system associates all multimedia content (photos, videos, messages) with a specific event identifier, automatically aggregating分散 content into a collective event archive that all attendees can access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary server system that mediates between individual users and the event. This intermediary automatically receives, stores, and manages content submissions, associating them with the event without requiring complex peer-to-peer coordination among users.
2Adaptability or versatility
If social networking systems connect users through groups, then users can share common interests, but no system connects users based on specific events, shows or products
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the social networking function by event rather than by user group. Each event becomes a distinct container with its own content collection and participant list, allowing users to be connected to multiple events simultaneously while maintaining separate, organized content for each event.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal event-based platform that can handle multiple types of content (photos, videos, messages) and multiple types of events (shows, products, gatherings) through a single unified system, rather than requiring separate systems for different connection purposes.
3Ease of operation
If content sharing is disjointed among individuals, then users maintain privacy, but communication amongst and to individuals at an event becomes impossible or inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables self-service content sharing where users automatically upload and associate their content with the event without manual intervention. The system handles content aggregation, storage, and distribution automatically, reducing the operational burden on users while maintaining efficient communication.
4Reliability
If no system aggregates and associates content among event attendees, then individual content remains private, but the ability to record and curate events collectively is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent sets up the event structure and content collection framework in advance. When the event is created, the system pre-configures the content association rules and storage structure, so that as users submit content during the event, it is automatically and correctly associated without requiring complex real-time management decisions.
