Live Broadcast Supplementing with Relevant Information Streams
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users watching live broadcasts face challenges in accessing relevant information streams without distracting from the viewing experience, as manually finding and monitoring these streams is time-consuming and disruptive.
Innovation Solution
A server system that receives keywords related to a live broadcast, aggregates and filters relevant information streams from various sources, and transmits them to a client device for display, allowing users to view supplementary information without leaving the main broadcast.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users manually find and monitor information streams related to live broadcasts, then they can access relevant information, but it significantly distracts from the viewing experience and consumes time and energy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (broadcast monitoring system) that automatically searches, filters, and delivers information streams related to the live broadcast. This intermediary handles the complex task of information gathering and filtering, allowing users to passively receive relevant information without manually searching or monitoring multiple streams, thus eliminating the distraction while maintaining information access
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically monitoring the broadcast, extracting keywords, searching for related information streams, and filtering relevant content without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously managing the entire information retrieval and delivery process, freeing users from the manual effort previously required
2Loss of information
If users spend significant time and energy finding and monitoring information streams, then they can access comprehensive information, but it significantly distracts from the experience of viewing the live broadcast
Solution Approach 1:
The broadcast monitoring system acts as an intermediary that automatically performs information gathering, filtering, and delivery. It monitors the live broadcast, extracts relevant keywords, searches for information streams, and delivers only pertinent content to users. This eliminates the need for users to invest significant time and energy in manual information seeking while ensuring comprehensive relevant information is captured
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-filtering and pre-processing information streams before they reach the user. It proactively searches for and filters information related to the broadcast in advance, so when information is delivered to users, it is already refined and relevant, saving them time and effort
3Ease of operation
If an automated system filters and delivers relevant information streams, then users can access information without distraction, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a broadcast monitoring system that acts as an intermediary between information sources and users. This centralized intermediary handles all the complexity of monitoring broadcasts, extracting keywords, searching streams, and filtering content. Users interact only with this simplified interface, which manages the underlying complexity automatically
Solution Approach 2:
The broadcast monitoring system performs multiple functions within a single unified platform: it monitors broadcasts, extracts keywords, searches for information streams, filters content based on relevance, and delivers results to users. By consolidating these diverse functions into one multi-functional system, the patent manages complexity centrally rather than requiring separate systems for each function
Data Source
AI summary
This application is directed to a method implemented on a computing device for supplementing a live broadcast displayed at a client device. The computing device analyzes descriptive information for the live broadcast and generates first keywords related to the live broadcast from the descriptive information. The computing device receives a plurality of live information streams independent from the live broadcast, and automatically without user intervention, extracts second keywords from the plurality of events. The computing device determines the relevance of each event in the plurality of events to the live broadcast by correlating the first keywords generated from the descriptive information of the live broadcast and the second keywords extracted from the plurality of events, thereby selecting a subset of the plurality of events. Information representing the subset of events is formatted for display.
