Solution Overview

Problem

Low initial participation by community members in social media platforms, particularly in generating and consuming media content event reviews, due to lack of engagement and limited content available for new media events or during platform initialization.

Innovation Solution

An interaction facilitator system that engages community members in a geo-activity game, where they complete activities at various locations related to a media content event, generating dialogue videos that express their opinions, which are later compiled into conversation videos for consumption by others.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If community members are encouraged to participate in generating media content event reviews, then content availability and interaction quality improve, but initial participation remains low due to lack of engagement motivation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent availabilityVSAvoidinitial participation
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by proactively identifying media content events that community members have recently consumed (within a time threshold) and automatically generating customized geo-activity game invitations. This eliminates the need for community members to manually search for or initiate review activities, thereby reducing the barrier to initial participation while ensuring relevant content is available for engagement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing community members to participate in geo-activity games and generate dialogue videos at their convenience without requiring moderation approval or complex setup. Members simply complete activities at designated locations and submit their dialogue videos, which are automatically processed and made available for consumption by others, thus improving both participation ease and content availability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of manufacture

If the social platform is new or has limited community member participation, then platform establishment is easier, but there are relatively few media content event reviews available for other community members to consume

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform establishmentVSAvoidmedia content event reviews
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by proactively reaching out to community members who have recently consumed media content events and inviting them to participate in geo-activity games. This proactive approach accelerates content generation in the early platform stages, ensuring that even new platforms can quickly accumulate media content event reviews for community consumption without requiring manual content curation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements periodic action by continuously monitoring community member media consumption activities and repeatedly issuing customized geo-activity game invitations based on recent viewing history. This periodic engagement strategy ensures steady content generation over time, addressing the content scarcity problem in new platforms while maintaining ease of platform establishment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Ease of operation

If community members want to relax and be entertained by platform activities, then user satisfaction improves, but participation in generating content reviews decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser satisfactionVSAvoidcontent generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary element by embedding the content generation process within an entertaining geo-activity game framework. Community members engage in enjoyable activities at various locations and record dialogue videos as part of the game, rather than directly creating reviews. This intermediary game layer maintains user satisfaction through entertainment while still achieving the productivity goal of generating review content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies parameter changes by transforming the nature of content generation from a formal review-writing task into an informal dialogue video recording during game play. This changes the parameters of engagement from structured content creation to unstructured, enjoyable interaction, thereby maintaining user satisfaction while still producing usable review content through the dialogue videos

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An interaction facilitator system is operable acquire community member dialogue videos generated by community members, wherein each community member dialogue video includes dialogue spoken by the community member that describes their viewpoints and opinions regarding an associated subject media content event. A community member dialogue video is acquired from a community member while the community member plays a uniquely generated geo-activity game wherein the community member completes an activity at each of a plurality of game play locations that lie along a game play route. At the end of play of the geo-activity game, the community member receives an incentive.
