Solution Overview

Problem

Current social media networks fail to provide adequate metadata for live media streams, leading to low engagement and viewership, as notifications lack information about the content, forcing users to manually search and wasting resources.

Innovation Solution

The system dynamically generates metadata, such as titles, based on identified topics and persons featured in the live media stream, and selectively transmits notifications to potential viewers based on their viewing patterns, ensuring more accurate and engaging content promotion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the system generates metadata dynamically based on frame analysis, then the accuracy and relevance of metadata is improved, but the processing time and computational resources are increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetadata accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs frame analysis and metadata generation in advance before the live media stream is fully transmitted. By analyzing frames as they become available and pre-generating metadata, the system reduces processing delays and ensures metadata is ready for immediate use in notifications to potential viewers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The metadata generation process is dynamic and adaptive, adjusting the level of analysis based on the live stream's progress. The system analyzes frames in real-time but can pause or adjust processing intensity based on when metadata is most needed versus when the stream has already been notified to interested users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If the system provides detailed metadata in notifications, then user engagement and viewership are improved, but the notification size and data transmission requirements are increased

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveviewershipVSAvoidnotification data volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The notification includes metadata selectively tailored to the specific interests of different user segments. Rather than providing complete metadata to all users, the system customizes the information level based on individual user preferences and viewing patterns, reducing overall data volume while maintaining engagement effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the audience into different groups based on their viewing patterns and interests, then provides appropriately detailed metadata to each segment. This allows the system to optimize the balance between information richness and data efficiency for different user types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If the system waits for more frames to generate accurate metadata, then the metadata quality is improved, but the time to notify potential viewers is delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetadata qualityVSAvoidnotification speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system generates metadata as quickly as possible from the initial frames available at stream start, rather than waiting for additional frames. This preliminary metadata generation enables immediate notification to potential viewers, with the option to update metadata later if more frames become available.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system generates metadata based on partial frame analysis rather than requiring complete frame sequences. By using the frames available at stream initiation, the system can provide timely notifications even though the metadata may be updated later with additional information from subsequent frames.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Systems and methods are described to dynamically generate metadata for a live media stream. The system determines that a first user on a social media network has started a live media stream. In response, the system identifies a topic of the live media stream based on a frame of the live media stream and identifies another person featured in the frame of the live media stream based on social connections of the first user in the social media network. The system then generates a title for the live media stream based on the identified topic and the identified person, and transmits a notification to a second user that the first user is streaming live, where the notification includes the generated title.
