Performer Tip Attribution in Multi-Performer Live Video Streams
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems do not allow viewers to give tips to individual performers in a moving image content generated by multiple performers delivering performances by turns, such as street performances.
Innovation Solution
A content distribution system comprising a photographing apparatus, a distribution unit, a login control unit, a start detection unit, an end detection unit, and a reception unit that associate tip information with performer information during their performance periods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single tip reception system is used for multiple performers, then the system complexity is reduced, but the ability to attribute tips to individual performers is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The tip reception system is segmented into multiple independent reception channels, each dedicated to a specific performer. The server device maintains separate tip reception functionalities for each performer, allowing tips to be independently attributed to the correct performer while keeping each channel relatively simple in structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The server device acts as an intermediary between viewers and performers, managing the complex task of tip attribution. It receives tip information from viewers, identifies the current performing performer, and attributes the tip to the correct performer account, thereby resolving the contradiction between system simplicity and accurate information attribution.
2Measurement precision
If tip attribution to individual performers is enabled, then viewer support accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Performer identification information is preliminarily established through login processing before performances begin. The server device stores and manages which performer is currently performing, so when a tip is received, the attribution can be immediately and accurately made without complex real-time analysis, thus improving accuracy while controlling system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the server continuously monitors performance status and tip reception status. When a performer finishes or a new performer starts, the system updates the active performer information and notifies relevant components, ensuring accurate tip attribution while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured feedback loops.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple performers are photographed in a single moving image content, then content versatility is improved, but the ability to track individual performance periods becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The server device serves as an intermediary that manages performance period information for multiple performers. It stores and tracks which performer is currently performing, receiving performance start/end notifications and maintaining this state information. This allows the system to handle versatile multi-performer content while simplifying the detection of individual performance periods through centralized mediation.

AI summary
A content distribution system in which a viewer can give a social tipping to each performer is provided. The content distribution system includes a distribution unit that distributes a moving image content which a photographing apparatus captures a plurality of performers by turns, a login control unit that performs a login processing of a performer who starts a performance, a start detection unit that detects a start of the performance by the performer who has logged in, an end detection unit that detects an end of the performance by the performer who has logged in, a reception unit that receives a tip from a viewer, and a control unit that associates information corresponding to the tip received during a period from the start to the end of the performance by the logged in performer with information corresponding to the performer who has logged in.
