Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional live video distribution systems fail to strengthen the relationship between distributors and viewers, while also encouraging communication among viewers.

Innovation Solution

A system that allows viewers to input items during live video distribution, determining if the input satisfies a predetermined combo condition, and providing benefits to the distributor when the condition is met, thereby generating combos and enhancing viewer engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If viewers input items during live video distribution, then communication among viewers is encouraged, but the relationship between distributor and viewers is not strengthened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer communicationVSAvoiddistributor-viewer relationship
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where item inputs by viewers are monitored and converted into benefits for the distributor when combo conditions are met. This creates a closed-loop interaction where viewer actions directly impact the distributor, strengthening their relationship while maintaining easy viewer participation through simple item inputs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the combo condition evaluation system) that mediates between viewer item inputs and distributor benefits. This intermediary transforms individual viewer actions into collective achievements that benefit the distributor, thereby strengthening the distributor-viewer relationship while preserving the ease of viewer communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If combo conditions are set to be difficult to satisfy, then distributor benefits are increased, but viewer engagement decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistributor benefitVSAvoidviewer engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows viewers to input items multiple times and combines these inputs to satisfy combo conditions. Rather than requiring a single difficult action, the system accepts multiple partial actions (individual item inputs) that collectively achieve the combo goal, thereby maintaining high viewer engagement while still providing substantial benefits to the distributor when conditions are met.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple individual item inputs from different viewers into a collective combo achievement. By combining these分散 actions, the system enables the distributor to receive benefits from aggregated viewer participation, balancing the difficulty of satisfaction with the level of engagement required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If combo conditions are set to be easy to satisfy, then viewer engagement is increased, but distributor benefits are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer engagementVSAvoiddistributor benefit
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the parameters of combo conditions (such as the types of items required, the number of combinations needed, or the time window for combination) to optimize the balance between viewer engagement and distributor benefits. By changing these parameters, the system can make combos easier or harder to satisfy depending on the desired level of engagement and benefit distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Productivity

If multiple item inputs are required for combo generation, then distributor benefits are increased, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistributor benefitVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors viewer item inputs, evaluates whether combo conditions are met, and generates combos without requiring manual intervention. This self-service approach handles the complexity of tracking multiple item inputs and evaluating combination conditions automatically, thereby increasing distributor benefits through multiple item requirements while keeping the system complexity manageable through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A video distribution server according to one embodiment of the present invention encourages communication among viewers of a live video, while strengthening the relationship between a distributor of the live video and each of the viewers. The server provides a live video distribution service for distributing and viewing live videos to users via user terminals. The server generates a combo when an input of an item by each of a plurality of viewers of the live video satisfies a predetermined combo condition, thus encouraging communication among the viewers of the live video. In addition, the benefit is given to the distributor upon the generation of the combo, which may strengthen the relationship between the distributor and each of the viewers.
