Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multi-user live streaming systems struggle to accurately recommend live streaming rooms to interested users, leading to low engagement and interaction rates, resulting in streamers abandoning the live streaming function due to low user participation, and inefficient resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

A method where a server consolidates live streaming rooms meeting certain conditions by adding a target client to a first live streaming room and closing the second live streaming room, increasing engagement and interaction rates, and reducing server data processing burden.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the system recommends live streaming rooms to users, then user engagement and interaction rates improve, but the system cannot accurately match users with interested rooms leading to low participation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagement rateVSAvoidaccuracy of room recommendation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple live streaming rooms into a single consolidated room when creators agree to consolidation. This combining approach increases user engagement by creating larger, more attractive rooms with more participants, while eliminating the need for complex recommendation algorithms by directly connecting creators who want to consolidate their audiences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables creators to self-initiate consolidation by sending consolidation requests to other creators. This self-service mechanism allows creators to actively participate in room consolidation based on their own engagement needs, rather than passively receiving system recommendations, thereby improving both engagement rates and resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple live streaming rooms operate independently, then creators have autonomy, but resource utilization becomes inefficient and streamers abandon the function due to low participation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecreator autonomyVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts room structure based on creator preferences and consolidation requests. Creators can choose to maintain independent rooms or consolidate into larger rooms, providing adaptability while improving resource utilization. The room configuration changes dynamically rather than being fixed, allowing creators to optimize their participation based on engagement levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

When consolidation occurs, the system discards redundant independent room resources and recovers them into a unified consolidated room. This process eliminates duplicate resource consumption while maintaining creator autonomy through voluntary consolidation agreements, thereby improving overall resource utilization efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

3Productivity

If the system processes consolidation requests between multiple rooms, then engagement rates improve, but server data processing burden increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction rateVSAvoidserver processing burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the consolidation decision-making process from the server and places it with the creators themselves. Creators initiate and agree to consolidation requests directly, reducing the computational burden on the server. The server only needs to facilitate the consolidation process rather than actively managing complex matching algorithms, thereby reducing processing burden while maintaining high interaction rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Provided is a multi-user live streaming method, applicable to a terminal. The method includes: displaying a live streaming interface of a first live streaming room; displaying, in response to the first live streaming room satisfying a live streaming room consolidation condition, a consolidation selection list; sending, in response to a select operation on a target client in the consolidation selection list, a live streaming room consolidation request to the target client via a server; and displaying, in the live streaming interface of the first live streaming room, the target client added to the first live streaming room.
