Solution Overview

Problem

Content providers face challenges in accurately predicting and adapting to user preferences for multimedia content, leading to users having to manually search for interested portions, which is time-consuming and cumbersome.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that detect user interest in real-time by processing multimedia content parameters, generating search queries, and combining similar content from other providers to render content based on user interest, using sensors and machine learning techniques to dynamically capture and interpret user preferences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If content providers broadcast the same live multimedia content to all users, then the broadcasting system is simple and efficient, but users cannot access their interested portions and must manually search, which is time-consuming and cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser content access convenienceVSAvoidtime for manual search
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses eye-tracking sensors to detect user gaze direction and determines user interest in specific content portions based on gaze duration and position. This feedback mechanism automatically identifies what content the user is interested in without requiring manual search or input from the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs content extraction, similarity search, and seamless blending operations without user intervention. The user simply needs to watch the content, and the system autonomously detects their interest, retrieves similar content from other providers, and integrates it into the broadcast stream in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If the system extracts and processes image data to determine user interest in real-time, then user preferences are accurately detected, but the processing complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interest detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces complex manual analysis with automated computer vision and machine learning algorithms. Image processing techniques automatically extract features from video frames, and ML models predict user interest based on gaze patterns, eliminating the need for complex manual processing while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms the complex problem of user interest detection into measurable parameters such as gaze direction, gaze duration, and fixation points. By converting qualitative user preferences into quantifiable metrics, the system can process and analyze user interest efficiently using standard image processing and statistical methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system combines similar content from multiple content providers in real-time, then content diversity and user satisfaction improve, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent customization capabilityVSAvoidcontent processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and indexes content from multiple providers before real-time broadcasting, creating a ready-to-use library of similar content segments. This preliminary organization allows the system to quickly retrieve and blend relevant content during live broadcasts without complex real-time processing, reducing system complexity while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary content management layer that handles the complexity of multi-provider content integration. This intermediary layer manages content extraction, similarity matching, and seamless blending operations, isolating the complexity from the core broadcasting system and making the overall architecture more manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Ease of operation

If the system provides personalized content based on user interest, then user satisfaction and engagement improve, but the ability to accurately predict and adapt to evolving user preferences becomes more challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience qualityVSAvoiduser preference prediction difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors user gaze patterns and adjusts content recommendations in real-time based on observed behavior. This closed-loop feedback mechanism allows the system to adapt to evolving user preferences dynamically, improving prediction accuracy over time without requiring complex pre-programming of user profiles or preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to method and system for rendering multimedia content based on interest level of a user in real-time by a content rendering system. The content rendering system comprises detecting interest of user watching multimedia content, broadcasted by content provider based on set of parameters. The interest of user is on portion of multimedia content, determining metadata, object of interest, action and context from portion of multimedia content by processing image containing portion, generating search queries based on object of interest, action and context, extracting content similar to portion, broadcasted by one or more other content providers, based on search queries and metadata and combining extracted similar content with multimedia content currently viewed by user based on metadata to render multimedia content to user based on interest level of user in real-time. The present disclosure renders similar content from multiple content providers based on interest level of users.
