Solution Overview

Problem

Current live streaming platforms do not effectively enable users to interact with and share events or assets from gaming sessions between streaming devices and client devices, limiting user engagement and participation.

Innovation Solution

A live streaming platform server system that allows for the transfer of assets from a streaming device to a client device based on transfer events, such as winning game outcomes, enabling users to gift or share game results and enhance user interaction through the platform.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a live streaming platform allows asset transfer from streaming devices to client devices, then user engagement and participation increase, but system complexity and transaction management difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements an intermediary asset transfer system that mediates between streaming devices and client devices. The system includes transfer event detection mechanisms, asset valuation components, and automated transfer orchestration that handles the complexity internally while presenting a simple interface to users. This intermediary layer manages transaction validation, credit balance updates, and communication coordination without requiring users to understand the underlying system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the platform enables real-time asset transfer based on game events, then user interaction increases, but data processing requirements and communication overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoiddata processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring transfer rules, asset valuation methods, and communication protocols before game events occur. Transfer events are detected and processed based on pre-established criteria, and asset transfers are orchestrated in advance according to predetermined rules. This preliminary setup reduces real-time data processing requirements while maintaining responsive user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service mechanisms where the asset transfer process automatically detects game events, validates transfer conditions, calculates asset values, and executes transfers without requiring manual intervention. The system monitors its own state, manages credit balances autonomously, and coordinates communications between devices independently, reducing the processing burden while enabling seamless user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Quantity of substance

If the system tracks and transfers game awards and assets, then user benefits increase, but measurement precision and event detection complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveasset transfer accuracyVSAvoidevent detection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where game events are continuously monitored, transfer conditions are evaluated based on real-time state changes, and asset transfers are confirmed with validation feedback. The system tracks credit balance changes, detects transfer events through state comparison, and provides feedback loops that verify successful transfers. This feedback-driven approach ensures accurate asset tracking while managing detection complexity through systematic event monitoring and validation protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
