Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Users face limitations in obtaining multimedia content due to geographical location or device constraints, such as lacking a professional recording device or being unable to reach a specific location in time, which restricts the quality and timeliness of multimedia interaction.

Innovation Solution

A multimedia interaction method that allows users to configure acquisition conditions through a condition configuration interface, selecting a candidate account from a list provided by a server, and transmitting an interaction message to acquire multimedia content from a second account that meets these conditions, thereby bypassing device and geographical limitations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users rely on their own device capabilities and geographical location to obtain multimedia content, then the authenticity and timeliness of the content are improved, but the user is limited by device conditions and cannot meet diverse requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauthenticity of multimedia contentVSAvoidability to meet diverse content requirements

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that connects users with potential photographers. The server receives acquisition conditions from users, searches for matching accounts in the database, and facilitates the interaction between users and photographers who can fulfill the requirements, thus overcoming device and location limitations while maintaining content authenticity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables any user account to potentially become a photographer by allowing other users to invite them through the server. The platform serves multiple functions: it acts as a database for photographer accounts, a matching engine based on acquisition conditions, and a communication channel for coordination, making the system adaptable to diverse content needs

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Manufacturing precision

If users manually search for and contact photographers to obtain multimedia content, then the content quality can be improved, but the time and complexity of the acquisition process increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvequality of multimedia contentVSAvoidtime required for content acquisition

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing a database of photographer accounts with their capabilities and locations. When a user submits acquisition conditions, the server quickly matches these conditions against the pre-stored account information, eliminating the need for users to manually search and contact photographers, thus reducing time loss while maintaining content quality

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the server provides matching results to users based on their acquisition conditions. Users can see which accounts match their requirements and make informed decisions, while photographers receive notifications when their profile matches user needs, creating an efficient feedback loop that reduces acquisition time

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If users are restricted to their current geographical location for multimedia acquisition, then the timeliness of content capture is improved, but the ability to obtain content from specific locations is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetimeliness of content captureVSAvoidability to obtain content from specific locations

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as a geographical intermediary that decouples the user from the physical location requirement. Users can specify target locations in their acquisition conditions, and the server searches its database for photographers located at or near those positions, enabling users to obtain content from any location without physically being present, thus maintaining timeliness while expanding geographical adaptability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Some aspects of the disclosure provide a method of multimedia interaction. The method includes displaying, by a first terminal device that is an invitation terminal device for a multimedia acquisition, a condition configuration interface of an application that is logged in into a first account, the condition configuration interface includes condition configuration options. The method further includes determining an acquisition condition for acquiring a multimedia content in response to a configuration operation performed on the condition configuration options in the condition configuration interface, displaying at least one candidate account that matches the acquisition condition and transmitting an interaction message to a second account in response to a selection operation performed on the second account in the at least one candidate account. The interaction message indicates an invitation from the first account to the second account to acquire the multimedia content.
