Solution Overview

Problem

Content providers in live streaming platforms lack effective tools to identify the optimal time for content distribution to maximize rewards, such as revenue, in an efficient manner.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for video processing that involves receiving a gifting signal from a user terminal, obtaining a first video of a distributor, and generating a second video by overlapping an effect corresponding to the gifting signal onto the first video at a later timing, thereby enhancing interaction and engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If real-time live streaming is provided to enable interaction, then viewer engagement is improved, but the ability to identify optimal content distribution timing for maximizing rewards deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer engagementVSAvoidoptimal timing information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by capturing and storing video segments at the moment gifts are received, preparing the distributor's reaction footage in advance. This allows the system to later combine these pre-captured reactions with gift effect videos to create optimized highlight content, thereby recovering the lost timing information for reward maximization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If gift effects are displayed in real-time during live streaming, then viewer interaction experience is enhanced, but the ability to create optimized highlight content for reward maximization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction experienceVSAvoidreward maximization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the live streaming content into distinct components: the distributor's original video segments and separate gift effect videos. By capturing these as separate elements and storing them with timing information, the system can later recombine them in optimized ways to create highlight content that maximizes rewards, rather than losing this capability in real-time display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Speed

If video processing is performed in real-time to overlay gift effects, then interaction responsiveness is improved, but content optimization for reward maximization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidtiming information
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary video processing by capturing and storing the distributor's video segments at the exact timing when gifts are received. This pre-capture with embedded timing information allows subsequent offline processing to optimize content creation for reward maximization, preventing loss of critical timing data that would occur with pure real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a system, a method and a computer-readable medium for video processing. The method includes receiving a gifting signal from a user terminal; obtaining a first video of a distributor from a first timing in response to receiving the gifting signal; generating a second video by overlapping an effect corresponding to the gifting signal onto the first video at a second timing, wherein the second timing is later than the first timing.
