Solution Overview

Problem

Existing online communication systems fail to provide a personal and engaging experience for leaders and attendees, often feeling impersonal and lacking the immediacy and connection that physical interactions offer, while also facing logistical challenges such as safety concerns and geographical barriers.

Innovation Solution

A computer network-based system that enables interactive online events with a chat manager, video stream, and authentication subsystem, allowing leaders to interact with attendees through text, audio, and video, and enabling the signing of artifacts, while moderating the event to ensure a personalized and secure experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a physical meeting is organized between a leader and attendees, then personal interaction and engagement are improved, but logistical challenges and safety concerns increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonal interactionVSAvoidlogistical coordination
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an online event platform as an intermediary that mediates interactions between leaders and attendees. The platform provides virtual meeting spaces, chat functions, and interaction tools that enable personal engagement without requiring physical gathering. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining the benefits of personal interaction while eliminating the logistical complexity of coordinating physical meetings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If a physical meeting is organized between a leader and attendees, then personal connection and engagement are improved, but safety concerns and accessibility issues increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonal connectionVSAvoidsafety concerns
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical meeting experience through an online platform. Attendees and leaders can interact face-to-face via video conferencing, chat, and other digital tools that replicate personal connection without the physical presence. This eliminates safety concerns associated with physical gatherings while preserving the engagement benefits, as the virtual environment removes physical risks while maintaining social interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional online meetings are used, then geographical barriers are overcome, but personal engagement and connection are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeographical accessibilityVSAvoidpersonal engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple communication modalities within the online platform, combining video conferencing, text chat, screen sharing, and interactive tools into a single integrated system. This allows attendees to engage through multiple channels simultaneously, recreating the richness of in-person interaction while maintaining geographical accessibility. The combination of these tools enables personal engagement despite the virtual medium.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Ease of operation

If video streaming and authentication systems are added to enhance security and personalization, then connection quality is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection qualityVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements authentication and video stream setup as preliminary actions that occur before the main event interaction. Users complete profile verification, upload headshots, and configure video settings during registration and setup phases. This allows the system to establish secure connections and personalize experiences in advance, reducing the complexity burden during the actual event while maintaining high connection quality through pre-configured video and authentication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
