Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional social media platforms require users to switch between different applications to access and engage with content, making communication cumbersome, especially as devices become more sophisticated.

Innovation Solution

A system that integrates content streaming with real-time commentary, allowing users to comment and share comments directly on the content, with features like animated overlays and context-based rendering, managed through a provider network and client devices, enabling seamless interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional social media platforms are used, then users can access and engage with content, but users have to switch between different applications which makes communication cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of access and interaction with contentVSAvoidtime spent switching between applications
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines content delivery and social media interaction into a single integrated system. The content delivery network server delivers both content and social media interface elements together, allowing users to access content and interact with it through one application rather than switching between separate content player and social media applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal platform that performs multiple functions: content delivery, content display, and social media interaction. The integrated interface allows the same application to serve as both a content player and a social media platform, enabling users to perform multiple tasks without leaving the application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If social media interface elements are integrated into content delivery, then user interaction is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction with contentVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the integrated system into distinct functional modules: a content delivery network server that handles content delivery, a social media interface element generator that creates interaction elements, and a client device that receives and displays both. This modular segmentation manages complexity by clearly defining boundaries and responsibilities of each component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The content delivery network server acts as an intermediary between the content source and the user device. It receives content, generates or retrieves social media interface elements, and delivers both together to the client device. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall architecture by centralizing the integration logic in one component rather than requiring complex peer-to-peer integration between multiple systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Techniques for identifying rule violations in a network community are described herein. The disclosed techniques include receiving a report event from a first client computing device, wherein the report event is associated with content and a possible violation and the content comprises one or more comments relative to a plurality of video frames; identifying the content based on the possible violation; sending the content to a plurality of review users, wherein the content is presented and viewable via an interface by each review user; determining whether a voting instruction has been received from each review user during a predetermined period of time; recording a voting instruction from a first review user in a list of voting instructions in response to a determination that the voting instruction has been received during the predetermined period of time; and identifying the possible violation as a violation based on the list of voting instructions.
