Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for determining user reactions to media content items are primarily retrospective and do not allow for real-time modification of content based on user feedback.

Innovation Solution

The system monitors user physiological data and facial/gestural reactions in real-time to determine user reactions, which are then used to modify the media content item or generate interactive reviews.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If retrospective analysis systems are used to determine user reactions, then measurement of user reaction is achieved, but real-time modification capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser reaction measurementVSAvoidreal-time response delay

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and monitors user physiological data continuously during media playback, preparing reaction detection in advance so that when a reaction is detected, the system can immediately modify the media content without waiting for post-viewing analysis

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a closed-loop feedback mechanism where user physiological data is continuously monitored, analyzed for reactions, and used to trigger real-time modifications to media content, creating a continuous cycle of detection and response that eliminates time delays

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If real-time monitoring of physiological data is implemented, then user engagement is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system integrates multiple functions into a unified platform that simultaneously handles physiological data acquisition, reaction analysis, media content modification, and interactive review generation, reducing the need for separate specialized devices and systems

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically monitors physiological data, detects reactions, determines appropriate modifications, and executes content changes without requiring manual intervention or complex configuration, allowing the system to self-manage the entire process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Systems and methods are described for modifying the content of a media content item. A a media content item is displayed on user equipment. A user reaction to one or more portions of the media content item is determined. The content of the media content item is modified based on the user reaction to one or more portions of the media content item.
