Interactive Content Composer Linking Units Across Areas
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional digital interactive story technologies are limited in providing users with content that diverges from the original narrative, as they cannot respond to user curiosity or link content units across different content areas, resulting in a closed story space and requiring repetitive user searches for new content.
Innovation Solution
A digital content providing apparatus and method that includes an interactive content composer to link content units based on user requests, using a searching part to find target content units with closest pre-conditions and an automatic content creator to satisfy unsatisfied pre-conditions, and a planning part to generate content unit chains by extending tracking to other content areas, allowing seamless reproduction of interactive content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional planning technology is used to compose digital interactive story, then the story can be organized within one content area, but it cannot link content units across different content areas when users request contents outside the original story
Solution Approach 1:
The planning algorithm is enhanced to perform multiple functions: it not only plans within a single content area but also searches across multiple content areas, extracts relevant content units, and composes them into coherent narratives. This multi-functional capability allows the system to handle diverse user requests while maintaining a unified planning framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts its content search and composition process based on user requests. When a user requests content outside the original story, the system dynamically expands its search scope to other content areas, retrieves relevant units, and adapts the narrative flow accordingly, making the story composition flexible and responsive.
2Loss of information
If the story space is closed and limited to original content, then the system can maintain consistent narrative structure, but users cannot access additional information or related contents that may exist in other content areas
Solution Approach 1:
The planning algorithm acts as an intermediary between the user's content requests and the available content units across different content areas. It mediates by searching for relevant content, extracting suitable units, and integrating them into the narrative flow, thereby providing users with comprehensive information while maintaining seamless interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-searching and pre-extracting relevant content units from multiple content areas before user requests are fully processed. This allows the system to quickly respond to user queries with comprehensive information already prepared, reducing interaction complexity.
3Productivity
If users manually search for and select contents through web search, then they can access diverse information, but they have to repeat the selection process for each content unit which is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service by automatically searching for, extracting, and composing relevant content units based on user requests, eliminating the need for users to manually search and select each content unit. The planning algorithm autonomously handles the content curation process, significantly improving productivity and reducing user time investment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts relevant content units from multiple content areas based on user requests and the current narrative context. This extraction process automatically identifies and pulls out necessary information without requiring user intervention, enabling efficient content delivery while minimizing user search time.
