Solution Overview

Problem

Audience watching live game broadcasts are inconvenienced by the lack of easy access to information about game props used by players, requiring them to rely on video observations or introductions, which is inefficient.

Innovation Solution

Generating an identification code for game props during live broadcasts, which is displayed on the broadcast screen, allowing viewers to scan and access detailed prop information through a transaction platform.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If audience rely on video observations or introductions to obtain prop information, then they can access prop information without additional systems, but the information access efficiency is low and inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessing prop informationVSAvoidtime to obtain prop information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy of prop information in the form of identification codes (barcodes, QR codes, etc.) that are displayed during live broadcasts. Instead of requiring audiences to manually search for or observe prop details in video content, the system generates machine-readable code copies of prop information that can be instantly scanned and accessed, dramatically reducing the time and effort required to obtain prop information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of identification codes, transaction platforms, and scanning devices. This intermediary layer bridges the gap between the live broadcast content and the prop information database, enabling audiences to quickly access detailed prop information through scanning without directly interacting with the video content or manually searching for information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If detailed prop information is made easily accessible during live broadcasts, then audience convenience is improved, but the system complexity increases due to additional platforms and code generation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessing prop informationVSAvoidcomplexity of information access system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the transaction platform perform multiple functions: it not only handles e-commerce transactions but also generates identification codes, manages prop information databases, and interfaces with live broadcast platforms. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated systems for each function, thereby managing complexity while providing comprehensive prop information access.

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

Solution Approach 2:

By using standardized identification codes (barcodes, QR codes) that are universally recognized and can be scanned by common mobile devices, the system avoids the need for complex proprietary scanning systems. The identification codes serve as universal intermediaries that can be generated and read by various devices, reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for acquiring prop information, a device, and a computer readable storage medium. The method comprises: receiving, by a transaction platform, information on game props during a live broadcast of a game, and generating an identification code for accessing the information on game props; and transmitting, by the transaction platform, the identification code to a live broadcast platform, so as to enable the live broadcast platform to display the identification code in a live broadcast screen.
