Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live video streaming technologies are limited in content and form, primarily focusing on single-user video streams, which restricts the interactive and enriching experience for viewers.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that merges multiple live streaming video streams from different users into a single game video stream, allowing simultaneous viewing of multiple users' content, enhanced with interactive features and cloud gaming technology.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If single-user live streaming technology is used, then the system complexity is low and ease of operation is maintained, but the content diversity and viewer engagement are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent diversityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple independent live streaming video streams from different users into a single integrated game video stream. This combining approach enables content diversity by displaying multiple users' gameplay simultaneously while maintaining relatively simple system architecture through standardized stream processing and merging mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If multiple video streams are merged into one game video stream, then content diversity and viewer engagement improve, but the processing complexity and system resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer engagementVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the processing of multiple video streams by maintaining their independence throughout the transmission and processing pipeline. Each user's video stream is processed, transmitted, and merged separately at standardized interfaces, which reduces the complexity of handling multiple streams simultaneously while still achieving integrated display and enhanced viewer engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional single-stream live broadcasting is used, then transmission resources are conserved, but the interactive experience and entertainment value are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive experienceVSAvoidtransmission resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple video streams are merged into a single integrated game video stream for transmission, which combines the benefit of enhanced interactive experience through multi-user content with more efficient resource utilization by consolidating transmission channels and reducing redundant data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
