Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in locating relevant live content items among numerous options available through content providers, as conventional approaches do not effectively aggregate or rank live content based on relatedness criteria such as geographic location or event association.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that aggregates live content items based on relatedness criteria, such as geographic location or event association, and ranks them using social engagement signals, allowing users to access a curated feed of relevant live content through an interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If live content items are presented without aggregation or ranking, then all available content is accessible, but users cannot efficiently locate relevant content among numerous options

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of locating relevant contentVSAvoidavailability of content options
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments live content items into distinct groups based on geographic location and event association. Each group is organized separately with clear categorization, allowing users to navigate to relevant segments without being overwhelmed by all content simultaneously. This segmentation enables efficient location of relevant content while maintaining access to the full content library through the grouping structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If live content items are aggregated and ranked using multiple criteria, then relevant content is more accessible, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent curation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by utilizing multiple ranking criteria including geographic location coordinates, event association tags, and social engagement metrics. These parameters are dynamically adjusted and weighted to generate ranked lists of live content. The system processes these parameter changes efficiently through automated algorithms, achieving high content curation efficiency without proportionally increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If live content items are organized by geographic location and event, then content relevance is improved, but the processing and organization time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevanceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-processing and indexing live content items as they are received. Geographic location data and event associations are extracted and stored in advance, creating ready-to-query structures. This preliminary organization enables rapid retrieval and filtering when users search for content, improving relevance without adding processing delays during user interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can group a set of live content items based at least in part on the live content items satisfying at least one relatedness criteria, the live content items being broadcasted through the content provider system. The set of live content items is ranked. An interface that includes a content feed through which the ranked set of live content items are accessible is generated.
