Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing availability and fragmentation of broadcasts and events make it difficult for users to find and schedule time to review or attend them, leading to challenges in audience engagement and revenue generation for broadcasters and event organizers.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for scheduling interactive media and events using unique identifiers associated with scheduling opportunities, which allows for automated scheduling and reminders through interactive media receivers, databases, and calendar systems, enabling flexible and precise event scheduling across multiple devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the availability and quantity of broadcasts and events are increased, then more content is provided to users, but it becomes more difficult for users to find and schedule time to review or attend them
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically schedules events and sends reminders without requiring manual user input. The scheduling system self-manages the complex task of organizing multiple broadcasts and events, and the reminder system automatically notifies users, eliminating the need for users to manually track and schedule numerous events.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual scheduling mechanisms with automated electronic systems. Instead of users manually tracking events, the system uses database storage, automatic retrieval, and electronic notification systems to manage event scheduling and user notifications.
2Adaptability or versatility
If technology advancements result in further audience fragmentation, then more targeted content is available, but it becomes more difficult for broadcasters and event organizers to garner audience viewership and event attendees
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses user profiles, preferences, and historical data to provide feedback-driven event recommendations. By analyzing user behavior patterns and preferences, the system continuously improves its ability to match users with relevant events, thereby increasing engagement despite audience fragmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system serves multiple functions: it manages event scheduling, stores user preferences, generates recommendations, and sends reminders across various platforms. This multi-functional approach allows it to effectively reach fragmented audiences through multiple channels while maintaining centralized management.
3Ease of operation
If automated scheduling and reminder systems are implemented, then user engagement is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into distinct functional modules: event management module, user profile module, recommendation engine, and reminder notification module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, making the overall complex system manageable through clear separation of concerns and modular design.
Data Source
AI summary
The user can respond to a media segment wherein the media segment may be associated with a schedulable event. Software on the device can then schedule the event into an electronic calendar system, and/or may use data associated with the media segment. At the appropriate time, the electronic calendar system may notify the user of the scheduled broadcast and/or event.
