Solution Overview

Problem

User motivations for distribution, viewing, and interaction are reduced due to difficulty in interaction in existing information processing systems for character animation distribution.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes computer processors for transmitting and displaying specific gifts or comments in a moving image based on user manipulation, with features like gift lists, comment input, and effect generation to enhance user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If interaction features are added to enable user engagement with moving images, then user interaction motivation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent embeds multiple interaction layers within the moving image display system. Gift objects and comment displays are nested within the moving image content, allowing users to interact with layered elements without complicating the overall system architecture. The display control unit nests multiple display types (gift display, comment display, character display) within a unified display framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The display control unit serves multiple functions: displaying moving images, displaying gift objects, displaying comments, and displaying character objects. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single unified display control unit, improving versatility without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If multiple display options (gifts, comments, character displays) are provided for user interaction, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction convenienceVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-defines multiple display types (gift display, comment display, character display) that can be selected and activated as needed. The display control unit is pre-configured with various display templates and options, allowing users to easily select from predefined interaction modes without requiring complex real-time configuration or programming.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If specific gifts and comments are displayed in response to user selections, then user motivation for interaction is maintained, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagement rateVSAvoiddata processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and displays only the relevant information elements (specific gifts and specific comments) that users select or that are associated with character objects. Rather than processing and displaying all possible gift and comment data, the system extracts only the necessary subset, reducing information processing load while maintaining user engagement through targeted displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A system operable to better facilitate user interaction and avoid frustrating a distribution motivation of a distribution user, a viewing motivation of a viewing user, and/or an interaction motivation between users, which may include a distribution unit displaying a moving image on a viewing user terminal, a reception unit receiving a display request for a predetermined gift and/or a predetermined comment from the viewing user terminal, and a display unit displaying a predetermined gift object and/or the predetermined comment in the moving image, based on the display request received by the reception unit. The display unit may display specific display corresponding to a specific gift and/or a specific comment set in accordance with a manipulation of a distribution user in the moving image, and may display a specific gift object and/or the specific comment in the moving image, in accordance with selection of the specific display by a viewing user.
