Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live streaming voting modes are complicated and do not meet viewer requirements.

Innovation Solution

A live voting method and apparatus that simplifies the voting process by displaying voting option identifiers and counts in a live streaming page, allowing streamers to initiate voting through voice broadcasting and users to vote through option controls, with dynamic display adjustments based on voting counts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional voting modes are used in live streaming, then voting functionality is provided, but the operation process becomes complicated and does not meet viewer requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevoting operationVSAvoidvoting interface

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The voting interface is segmented into distinct functional regions: a voting input region with voting option controls for user interaction, and a voting result region displaying real-time results. This segmentation allows users to easily locate and operate voting controls while clearly viewing results, simplifying the overall voting process despite the system's functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a comment as an intermediary element that connects voting action and result display. When a user triggers a voting option control, the system sends a comment corresponding to the target voting option, which serves as the intermediary mechanism to record and transmit the voting choice, thereby simplifying the voting operation flow.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If voting interface elements are displayed during live streaming, then voting functionality is enabled, but disruption to the live streaming experience increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevoting participationVSAvoidstreaming disruption

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The voting interface elements are arranged in a spatial layout that utilizes the available screen space efficiently. The voting input region and voting result region are positioned to minimize obstruction to the main live streaming content, allowing voting functionality to be added in another dimensional arrangement without significantly impacting the primary viewing experience.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
