Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current information promotion in video livestreaming requires significant manual preparations in advance, leading to low efficiency and poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A video livestreaming-based interaction method that allows viewer-initiated information promotion requests, which are displayed and confirmed by the livestreamer, and the target promotion information is pushed to viewer accounts, eliminating the need for manual negotiation and enhancing viewer engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual negotiation and preparation are used for information promotion in livestreaming rooms, then promotion information can be displayed according to a scheduled plan, but the process requires lots of manual preparations in advance, resulting in low efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepromotion information display reliabilityVSAvoidinformation promotion efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Viewers can autonomously initiate information promotion requests by selecting products or services they wish to promote, without requiring manual negotiation with livestreamers. The system automatically presents these requests to the livestreamer for confirmation, enabling viewers to self-serve in the promotion process and significantly reducing manual preparation work

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The traditional promotion workflow is inverted: instead of livestreamers manually selecting and scheduling promotion information, viewers initiate the promotion requests and the livestreamer simply confirms them. This role reversal eliminates the need for advance manual negotiations and scheduling, dramatically improving promotion efficiency while maintaining reliable display through the confirmation mechanism

Inventive Principle:

Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Duration of action of moving object

If advance negotiation is required for promotion information, then promotion can be scheduled, but the process is time-consuming and requires significant manual preparation

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepromotion scheduling capabilityVSAvoidmanual preparation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Duration of action of moving objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating promotion requests from viewer selections and pre-presenting them to livestreamers before the livestream begins. This preliminary automation of the negotiation process eliminates the need for time-consuming manual preparations while ensuring promotion information is ready for scheduled display

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The mechanical process of manual negotiation and scheduling is replaced by an automated digital system that handles request generation, presentation, and confirmation. This substitution eliminates the time-consuming manual preparation steps while preserving the scheduling capability through automated workflow management

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If manual preparation processes are used, then promotion information can be controlled, but the overall process complexity increases and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepromotion information controlVSAvoidpromotion process complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Viewers independently complete the promotion selection and request initiation themselves through the user interface, eliminating the need for complex manual coordination between viewers, livestreamers, and operators. The system handles the complexity of request management automatically while keeping the user experience simple and intuitive

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary that automatically manages the promotion request workflow between viewers and livestreamers. It handles request generation, presentation, confirmation, and scheduling, thereby reducing process complexity for users while maintaining effective control over promotion information display

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A video livestreaming-based interaction method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for managing viewer-initiated information promotion in livestreaming environments. The method receives information promotion requests from requesting viewer accounts associated with a livestreamer's video livestreaming room. These requests are displayed in the video livestreaming image for the livestreamer account. Upon receiving a promotion confirmation operation selecting a target request, corresponding target promotion information is displayed in the video livestreaming image and pushed to viewer accounts in the livestreaming room. This approach enables interactive content promotion where viewers can request information display while maintaining livestreamer control over what content is actually promoted to the audience.
