Group-Based Livestream Communication Control for Limited Channels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a limited number of channels for bidirectional communication between users and distributors in livestreaming, limiting the enhancement of user experience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that enables bidirectional communication by selecting a group of users to communicate with a distributor through a distribution server, which controls connections for real-time interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If bidirectional communication channels are increased to improve user experience, then user immersion and interaction quality improve, but channel resources become insufficient and system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments users into multiple groups, with each group allocated a dedicated communication channel to the distributor. This segmentation allows the system to support bidirectional communication with multiple user groups simultaneously using a limited number of channels, resolving the contradiction between providing comprehensive user interaction and managing channel resources efficiently.
2Ease of operation
If group-based communication is implemented to enable bidirectional interaction, then user engagement improves, but connection control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing group structures and allocating communication channels to groups before actual communication occurs. The connection control unit is configured in advance to manage which groups can communicate bidirectionally with the distributor, simplifying real-time connection management while enabling easy user interaction within the predefined group framework.

AI summary
[Problem] To realize bidirectional communication between a user and a distributor in a livestream.[Solution] An information processing device including: a communication unit that sends distribution content, provided by a distributor, to a plurality of user terminals; a group selection unit that selects a first group, from among a plurality of groups to each of which two or more users belong, the first group being one group or two or more groups; and a connection control unit that controls a connection to enable bidirectional communication between the users belonging to the first group and the distributor.
