Solution Overview

Problem

Existing media experiences, such as video platforms and cinema viewings, lack personalization as they do not account for user interests, leading to unsatisfactory engagement and missed opportunities for relevant information or offers.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that involve transmitting a data stream with embedded triggers, which detect specific content and provide additional, personalized data to users, such as metadata-generated advertisements or information, based on user profiles and interests, enhancing the media experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional advertising schemes are used with strict time intervals and same advertisement for all users, then the media playback is simple and uninterrupted, but user engagement and relevance are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidmedia playback system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the media stream into multiple segments, each containing triggers at specific positions. This allows selective activation of additional content based on user interests and media context, improving engagement without requiring complete system redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces triggers as intermediary elements embedded in the media stream. These triggers act as mediators between the media content and additional content delivery, enabling personalized advertising without disrupting the main media playback flow

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If additional content is provided during media consumption, then user engagement is improved, but the media playback time is extended

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidmedia playback time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by providing additional content at specific trigger points during media consumption. The additional content is delivered periodically based on trigger detection rather than continuously, maintaining engagement while minimizing time extension

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by providing additional content only when triggers are detected and only to users whose interests match the trigger content. This selective approach ensures engagement enhancement without unnecessarily extending playback time for all users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the same advertisement is shown to all users, then the advertising system is simple, but it does not account for specific user interests

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoidadvertising system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by providing different additional content to different users based on their specific interests and the local context of trigger detection. Each user receives personalized advertising content relevant to their preferences rather than a uniform approach

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms where user interest data and trigger detection results are processed to dynamically select and deliver personalized additional content. This feedback loop enables the system to adapt advertising content based on real-time user behavior and preferences

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a method for enhancement of media experience that comprises transmitting, by a first computing device, a data stream stored in a first storage region of the first computing device to an output device connected to the first computing device, providing, by a trigger module, a trigger that is linked to the data stream, detecting, by a detection module, the trigger while the data stream is being transmitted, and providing, by a content module, additional data in response to detecting the trigger. Furthermore, a system for enhancement of media experience is described.
