Multi-View Broadcast Layout for Real-Time Member-Focused Live Video
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing real-time live broadcasting methods struggle to satisfy diverse viewer preferences for specific artist members within artist groups, often resulting in low-quality and shaky self-cam videos, and fail to provide a vivid sense of liveliness.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for providing a multi-view service that includes determining and outputting multi-view layout settings on a screen, allowing for various configurations such as one main area with sub-areas or multiple main areas, and incorporating features like focal member identification, popularity voting, and user preference buttons to dynamically adjust video display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If self-cam videos are captured by fans using mobile cameras, then the videos reflect fan enthusiasm and are easily produced, but the video quality is significantly low due to excessive magnification and camera shaking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses multiple professional cameras to capture the performance, creating high-quality video copies that replace the need for fan-captured self-cam videos. These professional camera feeds are then distributed to viewers, providing high-quality individual member videos without requiring fans to physically capture them.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a multi-view layout system as an intermediary between the professional camera feeds and the viewer. This system automatically selects and displays relevant member videos based on performance data, acting as a mediator that delivers high-quality content without requiring fan intervention in video production.
2Adaptability or versatility
If simple video mixing is used in real-time live broadcasting, then most people's needs are satisfied to some extent, but the fan's enthusiasm and vividness of the live scene are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic video selection system that automatically adjusts which member videos are displayed based on real-time performance data. The system dynamically identifies the current focal member through audio and video analysis and automatically switches the displayed video feeds, creating a lively and responsive viewing experience that adapts to the ongoing performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses audio and video analysis to continuously monitor the performance and provide feedback about which member is currently the focal point. This feedback loop enables the system to automatically adjust the video display in real-time, ensuring that fan enthusiasm is captured and reflected in the broadcast without manual intervention.
3Manufacturing precision
If individual cameras are used to capture each artist member separately, then high-quality self-cam videos can be produced, but it is difficult to configure videos showing only one artist member in real-time live broadcasting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automated system that performs video selection and switching without human intervention. The system uses audio and video analysis to automatically identify focal members and configure the appropriate video feeds in real-time, enabling the broadcast to serve itself and eliminating the need for manual video configuration during live performances.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of video switching with an automated digital system. Instead of operators manually selecting and switching video feeds, the system uses audio analysis, video analysis, and automated decision-making algorithms to configure and switch between individual member videos in real-time, dramatically improving productivity.

AI summary
A multi-view service providing method comprise (a) receiving one or more videos captured by one or more cameras individually capturing at least one member belonging to a member group which comprises a plurality of members, (b) determining a multi-view layout setting on one screen for the received one or more videos, and (c) outputting the received one or more videos on the one screen according to the determined multi-view layout setting, wherein the multi-view layout setting includes a first multi-view layout setting including one main area and one or more sub-areas on the one screen, and a second multi-view layout setting including two or more main areas on the one screen.
