Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional live streaming systems lack interactive feedback mechanisms for performers, making it difficult for them to gauge audience reactions, demographics, and engagement levels, especially in large events where visual and audible feedback is limited, impacting the performance experience.

Innovation Solution

An interactive interface engine generates graphical representations and visual indicators to provide performers with real-time feedback on participant location, density, and input volume, allowing them to view sub-groups based on location, demographics, and engagement levels, enabling enhanced interaction and performance adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional live streaming systems are used, then content delivery is achieved, but interactive feedback mechanisms are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience feedback informationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms by capturing participant inputs (chat messages, emojis, reactions) and visually presenting them to performers through graphical representations on a map interface. This allows performers to see audience reactions in real-time, resolving the information loss problem without requiring complex bidirectional communication systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates visual copies of participant data by representing participants as graphical elements on a map, copying their location and engagement information into a visual format that performers can easily interpret. This transforms raw data into actionable visual feedback without adding system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If visual and audible feedback is provided in large events, then audience reaction is visible, but feedback reach and clarity are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience reaction measurementVSAvoidperformer interaction ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments audience feedback by geographic location, displaying participants as separate graphical elements on a map based on their locations. This segmentation allows performers to see reactions from different areas independently, improving measurement precision while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive visual separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a spatial dimension to feedback presentation by using a map interface where participant locations are represented geographically. This transforms one-dimensional audio feedback into two-dimensional visual spatial representation, enhancing measurement precision without complicating performer interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Productivity

If real-time participant data is processed, then engagement feedback is provided, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback provision speedVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing the map interface and participant tracking system before the live event begins. Participant locations and basic data are captured and prepared in advance, allowing real-time engagement feedback to be displayed without complex processing during the event itself, thus maintaining high productivity with manageable complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Techniques are described herein for providing an interactive interface for live streaming events. A user may view a broadcasted live streaming event via the interactive interface. A sub-group of participants of the live streaming event may be identified from a larger group of participants based at least in part on respective locations of respective computing devices of the sub-group participants. A graphical representation can be generated for the group using images of each of the sub-group participants. A selection of the sub-group can be received from the interactive interface and the graphical representation can be presented in response to receiving the selection. Various features of the interactive interface provide for a more enriching experience for both the performer(s) and viewing participants of the broadcasted live streaming event.
