Recording-Aware UI Layout for Stream Visibility and Audio Clarity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen recorders, such as gaming recorders, fail to capture all desired information during recording sessions, including textual content, stream chat, and audio volume, leading to viewer experience loss.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that modifies the user interface of applications in real-time using machine learning to adjust elements like size, location, duration, and audio, ensuring desired information is recorded and broadcasted.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the user interface displays textual content underneath an icon to save space, then the interface remains compact and organized, but viewers cannot see the textual content clearly during recording
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface elements dynamically change their properties based on recording state. When recording is detected, textual content moves from underneath the icon to next to it, and font sizes adjust to optimize visibility for viewers while maintaining compact layout
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters of user interface elements such as position, font size, and layout configuration based on the recording state. Textual content position parameter changes from 'underneath' to 'next to' icon, and font size parameter increases to enhance viewer readability
2Loss of information
If the stream chat is displayed in small font size along the border of the screen, then the interface maintains a clean and organized appearance, but the chat becomes unreadable for viewers
Solution Approach 1:
The stream chat element dynamically adjusts its font size based on the recording state. During recording, the font size increases from a small size suitable for compact display to a larger size that ensures readability for viewers, while maintaining its position along the border
3Loss of information
If user interface elements are positioned along the side of the screen to provide information, then the interface maintains a clean layout, but viewers cannot see the information clearly in the center of the screen
Solution Approach 1:
User interface elements displaying gaming opponent information dynamically reposition themselves from the side of the screen to the center of the screen when recording is detected. This ensures maximum visibility for viewers while maintaining clean layout during normal operation
4Loss of information
If the audio volume is set to a quiet level during recording, then the recording captures accurate audio levels, but viewers miss important advances indicated by sounds
Solution Approach 1:
The audio volume dynamically adjusts based on the recording state. When recording is detected, the audio volume increases from a quiet level to a louder level that ensures viewers can hear important advances, while maintaining accurate audio capture during normal operation

AI summary
A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for recording information in a user interface of an application more desired to be seen and heard by viewers. A user interface of an application (e.g., gaming application) is displayed. Upon detecting an initiation of recording the user interface of the application, the user interface of the application is modified to ensure that the information desired to be viewed and heard by the viewers is recorded, such as by adjusting a size of a user interface element, adjusting an audio element of the user interface, etc. After such modifications, the modified user interface of the application is recorded and broadcasted to viewers via a video live streaming service. In this manner, viewers are able to see and hear information desired to be viewed and heard that may have been previously lost during the recording of the user interface prior to such modifications.
