Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live video broadcast platforms face challenges in matching streaming hosts with compatible interactive connection demands, resulting in a poor degree of match and low success rate during live video broadcast interactions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for interaction video connection that includes receiving interaction match information from a server, generating timing information, and automatically establishing a video connection with another client based on the match demand category, using a countdown mechanism to streamline the process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual matching methods are used for interaction video connections, then users can control the matching process, but the degree of match and success rate are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesuccess rate of matchVSAvoidmanual control capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic matching of streaming hosts based on match demand categories without requiring manual intervention. The server automatically receives match requests, identifies compatible hosts, and establishes video connections, allowing the system to serve itself in the matching process while improving success rates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the matching parameters by introducing match demand categories that classify streaming hosts based on their interaction preferences. This parameter transformation enables more precise matching by comparing category compatibility rather than relying on manual selection criteria

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If automatic matching is implemented to improve match efficiency, then the success rate increases, but interference with live broadcast occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematch efficiencyVSAvoidinterference with live broadcast
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of streaming hosts into match demand categories before the actual matching occurs. By pre-organizing hosts based on their interaction preferences, the system prepares matching data in advance, enabling quick and accurate matching without disrupting the live broadcast flow during the actual connection process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary that handles the matching process separately from the live broadcast streams. It receives match requests, performs automated matching based on categories, and coordinates connections without directly interfering with the broadcast content, thus maintaining broadcast integrity while improving match efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If the match pool is expanded to improve matching quality, then the degree of match improves, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedegree of matchVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the match pool by dividing streaming hosts into distinct match demand categories based on their interaction preferences. This segmentation organizes the expanded pool into manageable groups, making it easier to perform accurate matching without being overwhelmed by the overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The match demand category system serves multiple functions: it classifies hosts, guides matching, and filters incompatible connections. This multi-functional approach allows the system to handle a large match pool efficiently using a single categorical framework rather than requiring multiple complex matching mechanisms

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