Interactive Game Sharing Modes for Regional Compliance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for sharing content images, such as game images, lack flexibility in modes and fail to ensure fairness among users, particularly across different countries with varying age restrictions and parental control requirements, and do not effectively manage real-time data transmission and reception.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that allows users to connect through a network, enabling the transmission and reproduction of content images with customizable sharing modes, ensuring compliance with regional age limits and parental controls, and managing data transmission through management servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If sharing of content image is admitted indefinitely, then convenience for users is improved, but fairness with users who have purchased the game program regularly is impaired
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts sharing permissions based on multiple factors including purchase status, subscription status, and regional regulations. The sharing capability is not fixed but changes according to the user's credentials and the specific content being shared, allowing the system to balance convenience with fairness dynamically
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key parameters such as sharing eligibility, time limits, and access permissions based on user credentials (purchase status, subscription status) and regional regulations. These parameter changes enable the system to maintain fairness while providing convenient sharing where appropriate
2Adaptability or versatility
If sharing service is carried out across different countries, then user accessibility is improved, but compliance with regional age restrictions becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that manages regional compliance requirements. This intermediary layer handles the complexity of different country-specific age restrictions and parental control settings, shielding users from the complexity while maintaining accessibility across borders
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a universal sharing framework that can adapt to multiple regional regulations simultaneously. The same core sharing functionality works across different countries by automatically adjusting to local age restriction and parental control requirements, making the system both universal and locally compliant
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sharing modes are provided, then system usefulness is improved, but user interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments sharing functionality into distinct modes (e.g., temporary sharing, permanent sharing, shared ownership) that can be clearly presented to users. This segmentation allows the complex multi-mode system to be broken down into understandable, discrete options that users can easily select based on their needs

AI summary
A game image being played by a user A is shared with a user C. A mode setting unit sets one sharing mode from between at least two sharing modes. The first mode is a mode in which a game image is shared while the user C does not have a control right of a game, and the second mode is a mode in which the control right of the game is passed to a user B in place of the user A. The third mode is a mode in which both of the user A and the user C have the control right of the game. The mode setting unit sets one mode from among the modes.
