Solution Overview

Problem

Existing ordered live-streaming rooms cannot meet user requirements as they typically allow only one anchor to live-stream at a time, limiting user interaction and engagement.

Innovation Solution

A live-streaming method and apparatus that displays multiple live-streaming accounts and prompts users to follow both primary and associated accounts, enhancing user interaction and engagement through synchronized display and countdown features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If only one anchor is allowed to live-stream at a time in an ordered live-streaming room, then the system maintains simple management and clear scheduling, but user interaction and engagement are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction capabilityVSAvoidlive-streaming room management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the live-streaming room into multiple independent live-streaming sub-rooms, each with its own anchor. Users can follow multiple sub-rooms simultaneously, enabling parallel live-streaming content delivery while maintaining individual room management simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The ordered live-streaming room is transformed into a multi-functional platform that can host multiple anchors concurrently. The system provides both individual sub-room viewing and aggregated multi-room viewing modes, enhancing user engagement without sacrificing management clarity.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple live-streaming accounts are displayed simultaneously, then user engagement and interaction improve, but the interface complexity and information density increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagement levelVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface dynamically adjusts between displaying a single primary live-streaming room and multiple associated rooms based on user interaction. When users follow multiple accounts, the system automatically presents multi-room views with countdown timers and transition prompts, adapting to user needs without overwhelming the interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds temporal dimension to the interface by displaying countdown timers for program transitions. This allows users to perceive time-based information alongside spatial arrangement of multiple live-streaming rooms, enhancing engagement without cluttering the visual interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Adaptability or versatility

If users can follow multiple live-streaming accounts, then user engagement improves, but users may miss program transitions without timely notifications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefollowing flexibilityVSAvoidprogram transition awareness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system displays countdown timers that predict upcoming program transitions before they occur. This preliminary notification allows users to prepare for transitions across multiple followed accounts, ensuring no information is missed while maintaining flexible multi-account following.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The interface provides real-time feedback about program transition states through visual prompts and countdown displays. When a program is about to transition, the system actively notifies users, creating a feedback loop that keeps users informed about all followed accounts without requiring constant manual checking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
