Solution Overview

Problem

Existing real-time live broadcasting methods struggle to satisfy diverse viewer preferences for artist group performances, often resulting in low-quality self-cam videos and a lack of vividness, making it difficult to meet the needs of all fans simultaneously.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that provides a multi-view service by receiving videos from individual cameras, determining a multi-view layout setting on a user's terminal, and outputting videos accordingly, including settings such as 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5 multi-view layouts, which allow for customizable display of artist members based on user preferences and popularity voting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If multiple cameras individually capture each artist member, then video quality and fan satisfaction improve, but system complexity and broadcasting difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple individually captured artist videos with the group performance video into a unified multi-view layout. The video processing server combines videos from multiple cameras (individual artist cameras + group camera) and outputs them in a coordinated multi-view format, allowing fans to see both individual artists and group dynamics simultaneously without requiring separate broadcasting systems for each view.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The multi-view layout system provides universal viewing options that serve multiple fan preferences simultaneously. A single broadcasting system delivers content that can be configured to show individual artists, group performances, or combinations thereof, making the system adaptable to different viewing preferences without requiring separate broadcasting infrastructures.

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

2Ease of operation

If simple video mixing is used for real-time broadcasting, then broadcasting ease improves, but fan enthusiasm and viewing satisfaction deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebroadcasting easeVSAvoidviewing satisfaction
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts video layouts in real-time based on performance segments and fan preferences. The video processing server automatically switches between different multi-view configurations (e.g., 1-1, 1-2, 2-2 layouts) depending on whether individual artists or groups are performing, providing engaging viewing experiences without manual intervention while maintaining broadcasting simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service functionality by automatically analyzing performance data and fan preferences to determine optimal video layouts. The video processing server autonomously configures multi-view displays based on real-time performance information, eliminating the need for manual broadcasting decisions while delivering personalized viewing experiences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If fan-specific needs are prioritized, then fan enthusiasm improves, but ability to satisfy general audience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefan preference adaptationVSAvoidaudience coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds a new dimension to video broadcasting by implementing multi-view layouts that display multiple video feeds simultaneously on a single screen. This allows individual artist views and group views to coexist in different spatial regions of the display, enabling fans to focus on preferred artists while still accessing group performance context without excluding other viewers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The broadcasting content is segmented into distinct video feeds (individual artist cameras and group camera) that can be independently configured and displayed. Each fan can select which segments to prioritize in the multi-view layout, while the overall system maintains all segments available for simultaneous viewing, satisfying both individual preferences and general audience needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
