Live Event Polling System Micro-Polling Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Live events, both in-person and live-streaming, lack effective tools for collecting wide participation audience sentiments, and virtual experiences have no options for collecting sentiments during self-guided tours or exploring virtual spaces, leading to barriers in gaining verbal input and promoting audience participation.
Innovation Solution
A live event polling system implemented as an application and cloud-based web service that provides passive engagement tools and micro-polling services, allowing for anonymous or identified responses, scheduling polls, and embedding them into external applications, with an intuitive dashboard for customization and data analysis, to reduce friction in sentiment sharing and data collection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional verbal input methods are used during live events, then audience participation can be obtained, but time consumption and complexity of organization increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the audience feedback collection into individual, discrete micro-polls rather than requiring comprehensive verbal input from all participants. Each poll is a separate, self-contained unit that can be answered independently, transforming a time-consuming collective process into parallel individual actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The polling system acts as an intermediary between the audience and event hosts, replacing direct verbal communication with an automated digital platform. This intermediary handles the collection, aggregation, and presentation of feedback automatically, eliminating the time required for manual verbal input processing.
2Loss of information
If traditional polling methods are used during live events, then audience sentiments can be collected, but user participation friction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements micro-polls that require only partial user action (selecting from predefined options) rather than complete verbal articulation. This partial action approach reduces the effort required while still capturing the essential sentiment data needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The polling system is designed as a self-service platform where participants can independently access, understand, and respond to polls without requiring facilitator intervention. The automated interface handles all interactions, eliminating the need for manual guidance and reducing participation friction.
3Reliability
If anonymous responses are not supported, then user identification can be tracked, but user anonymity concerns are not addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts between anonymous and identified response modes based on poll configuration and user preference. The anonymity parameter is not fixed but can change depending on the specific poll settings and user choices, allowing flexibility in balancing data reliability with user privacy concerns.
Data Source
AI summary
A live event polling system is disclosed that provides passive engagement tools and micro-polling services during live events so that live event hosts and developers of virtual spaces can engage their audiences and collect valuable input and data more effectively and promote audience participation for sentiment sharing and data collection in ways that overcome conventional barriers, such as time and user participation, which exist to gaining verbal input during such live events.
