Solution Overview

Problem

The existing comment function in live streaming rooms is limited to text and emoticons, failing to meet diverse interactive needs and affecting user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that allow users to send and receive comments with multimedia data, including playback entries, enhancing interaction by enabling the display and playback of multimedia content within live streaming rooms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If only text and emoticon comments are supported in live streaming rooms, then the system complexity is low, but the user interaction diversity and experience are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction diversityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The comment system is extended to support multiple data types (text, emoticons, multimedia) through a unified comment structure that can accommodate different content formats. The comment component can render various types of data based on its format, making the system versatile while maintaining a consistent interaction interface.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The comment functionality is divided into independent modules: text input, multimedia selection, emoticon insertion, and rendering components. Each module handles specific tasks, allowing the system to support diverse interaction types while keeping each component's complexity manageable and independently maintainable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If multimedia data is added to comments, then the user interaction efficiency and experience improve, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multimedia data is pre-selected and prepared before being attached to comments. The system provides a gallery of candidate multimedia data that users can select in advance, and the selected data is then embedded in the comment. This preliminary selection process streamlines the interaction flow and reduces the complexity of real-time processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a comment sending component as an intermediary that handles the complex logic of attaching multimedia data to comments. This component acts as a mediator between the user interface and the comment rendering system, encapsulating the complexity of multimedia handling and presenting a simplified interface to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If comments include playback entries for multimedia data, then the information completeness improves, but the comment data structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddata structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The comment structure uses a nested format where multimedia data is embedded within the comment object. The comment contains a data field that can hold multimedia information, and this nested structure allows the system to maintain information completeness while organizing complex data in a hierarchical, manageable way that simplifies processing and rendering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

A method for sending a comment in a live-streaming room comprises: in response to a trigger operation for a first control in a live-streaming-room-page, displaying a first window on the live-streaming-room page, wherein the first window comprises identifiers of at least one piece of candidate multimedia data; in response to a selection operation for the identifier of first multimedia data that is among the identifiers of the at least one piece of candidate multimedia data, determining, according to the selection operation, the first multimedia data corresponding to the identifier of the first multimedia data; and in response to a trigger operation for a second control in the live-streaming-room page, displaying, on the live-streaming-room page, a comment corresponding to the first multimedia data, wherein the comment comprises an entry port for playing the first multimedia data.
