Solution Overview

Problem

Existing media content, particularly in video applications, lacks interactivity between users, limiting user engagement and interaction beyond the initial display of interaction results.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that generate media content with a ranking list control associated with interaction results, allowing users to interact further by displaying and posting media content, and enabling a ranking list interface for different dimensions, enhancing user engagement and interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing game effects are used to display interaction results, then the basic interaction function is achieved, but the interactivity between users remains poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactivityVSAvoidmedia content structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent embeds a ranking list control within the media content itself, creating a nested structure where the control is integrated into the video stream. This allows interactive functionality to be embedded within the media content without requiring separate external systems, thereby improving user interactivity while managing complexity through integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The ranking list control serves as an intermediary element that connects users to the interaction results. Instead of directly displaying static results, the control mediates user engagement by allowing them to view ranked lists of participants, thereby enhancing interactivity without fundamentally changing the media content delivery system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a ranking list control is added to media content, then user engagement and interactivity are improved, but the complexity of media content generation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidcontent generation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the media content generation process with the ranking list data processing into a unified system. The server integrates interaction results and ranking data directly into the media content stream, merging multiple functions (video encoding, data integration, control embedding) into a single content generation pipeline, thereby managing complexity through consolidation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The ranking list control is designed as a universal component that can be integrated into various types of media content (videos, live streams, recorded content). This multi-functional approach allows the same control mechanism to enhance engagement across different content types without requiring separate development for each scenario, reducing overall system complexity.

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

3Ease of operation

If interaction results are displayed in media content, then the basic information is provided, but further interaction operations are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction operationsVSAvoidinteraction data
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds a new dimension to interaction by implementing multi-dimensional ranking lists that can display interaction results across different criteria (e.g., time-based rankings, category-based rankings). This transforms the flat interaction result display into a multi-layered information structure, allowing users to explore interaction data from multiple perspectives without losing any original information.

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