User-Generated Music Game Content Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Video games often provide a solitary experience, and multi-player games can be hindered by obstacles such as the need for multiple players at a single location or lengthy matchmaking processes, limiting interaction and exposure to diverse gameplay patterns.
Innovation Solution
A method for providing user-generated video game programs in music-based games, where users can create and transmit game content to multiple devices upon payment, allowing for diverse gameplay experiences and interactive features like user-generated programs and advertisements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multi-player video game play is implemented, then interaction between game players is improved, but obstacles and delays in entering game play increase due to matchmaking processes and location requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates copies of game content by allowing users to generate and share game programs across multiple devices. Instead of requiring real-time human player matching, the system copies user-generated game content to multiple game devices, enabling immediate playback without matchmaking delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by having users create and prepare game content in advance. These pre-created game programs are then distributed to multiple devices, eliminating the need for real-time matchmaking and allowing players to immediately access prepared game content.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users are exposed to diverse gameplay patterns, then gaming experience is improved, but the complexity of content creation and distribution increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling users to independently create and distribute their own game content. The system provides tools for users to generate game programs and automatically handles distribution to multiple devices, reducing the need for complex centralized content management while increasing gameplay diversity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies universality by creating a multi-functional system that combines game playing, content creation, and content distribution in a single platform. This universal system allows users to perform multiple functions (play, create, share) without requiring separate complex systems for each function.
3Productivity
If user-generated content is enabled, then user engagement is improved, but the need for payment-based access control and content management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing flexible payment models where users can choose to pay for specific premium features or content distribution. The system dynamically adjusts access control based on payment status, allowing free basic functionality while offering paid enhancements, thereby managing complexity through optional rather than mandatory controls.

AI summary
A video game includes user generated content. The video game may be a music-based video game. Users may determine content to be played, and a server may provide the content to game devices for play, for example at predefined times, and/or to predetermined game players.
