Solution Overview

Problem

Current social media platforms do not enable user-to-user micro-channels for posting and viewing contextual live contents in real-time, limiting the ability to share and view dynamic, user-generated content effectively.

Innovation Solution

A system that allows users to create, share, and view live content under pre-defined channels, enabling real-time notification and viewing of contextual live contents, with features like pausing, skipping, and prioritizing content based on popularity and user preferences, and the ability to follow specific keywords and categories for targeted content delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users broadcast live content to contacts and followers on current platforms, then content can be shared, but real-time contextual viewing and micro-channel posting is not enabled

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereal-time contextual content sharing capabilityVSAvoiduser interaction complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments content sharing into micro-channels organized by topics, keywords, and categories rather than traditional follower-based broadcasting. Users can post to specific micro-channels based on content type, enabling targeted real-time contextual viewing without requiring complex follower management.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces micro-channels as intermediary structures between users and content consumers. These channels act as organized containers that automatically route contextual content to appropriate audiences based on keywords and categories, eliminating the need for direct user-to-user follower relationships.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If users create a base of followers on Twitter, then they can share contents, but it is time consuming and uncertain

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaudience building efficiencyVSAvoidtime to create follower base

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary organization of content into micro-channels with assigned keywords and categories before content is posted. This pre-configuration enables automatic routing and discovery, eliminating the time-consuming process of building follower bases as users can be discovered through keyword and category-based searches.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service audience matching where the system automatically connects content with interested viewers based on keywords, categories, and content metadata. This eliminates manual follower acquisition as the system autonomously routes content to appropriate audiences based on their expressed interests and search behavior.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If television provides pre-created contents at scheduled time, then content delivery is structured, but real-time user-generated content sharing is not enabled

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereal-time content generation and distributionVSAvoidcontent delivery structure

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static scheduled content delivery to dynamic real-time content flow. Micro-channels continuously receive and distribute user-generated content as it is created, with automatic keyword matching and category routing maintaining structural organization while enabling real-time adaptability to emerging topics and trends.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

4Adaptability or versatility

If users post contents to followers on Facebook, then automatic content presentation is enabled, but keyword-specific real-time receiving is not supported

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvekeyword-based content filtering and deliveryVSAvoidcontent delivery system structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by organizing content delivery into specialized micro-channels with specific keywords, categories, and topic focuses. Each micro-channel has tailored characteristics for its content type, enabling precise keyword-based filtering and delivery without requiring complex global system restructuring.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality
