Solution Overview

Problem

Existing online media platforms disrupt the user experience by requiring users to search for additional information related to video content in separate windows, and manual searches often fail to yield relevant information.

Innovation Solution

An online media platform that curates and displays video content relevant to users' tradeable objects, using content indicator tags and user-specific data to provide personalized video selections and supplementary information concurrently with video playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users search for additional information in a separate medium, then users can obtain supplementary information, but the user's video viewing experience is disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupplementary informationVSAvoidvideo viewing experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the video playback interface and supplementary information display into a single unified interface. The system displays video content in a first region while simultaneously displaying relevant supplementary information in a second region of the same interface, eliminating the need for users to switch to a separate medium and maintaining continuous video viewing experience while providing access to additional information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Loss of information

If users conduct manual search for related content, then users can find additional information, but the search may not yield the information the user is particularly interested in

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelevant informationVSAvoidsearch relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically analyzes video content metadata and characteristics to identify and retrieve supplementary information that is relevant to the currently played video. This automated feedback mechanism ensures that the displayed information is precisely matched to the video content without requiring manual user search, thereby improving both the completeness and relevance of supplementary information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs automatic content analysis and information retrieval based on the video being played, serving itself to identify relevant supplementary information without user intervention. The system extracts key characteristics from the video metadata and automatically queries for related content, delivering precise results without requiring user search skills or manual input

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A processor-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: obtaining identifying information for one or more tradeable objects associated with an entity; receiving, from at least one media data source, video data for one or more videos, the video data including content indicator tags associated with the one or more videos; identifying a first subset of the one or more videos based on: performing textual comparison between the content indicator tags associated with the one or more videos and identifiers associated with the one or more tradeable objects; and selecting videos for inclusion in the first subset based on the comparison; and sending, to a client device, an indication of the first subset of videos.
