Solution Overview

Problem

In live broadcast settings, existing methods fail to effectively manage the distribution of red envelopes or electronic rewards, leading to irregular audience flow and potential disorder, as well as harming the interests of anchors due to unbalanced popularity and audience stability.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for distributing random data, such as red envelopes, that includes generating and distributing them based on user instructions, setting delays for access, calculating amounts based on current audience numbers, and placing them at preset positions, ensuring controlled and timed distribution to maintain audience engagement and stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If red envelopes are distributed without delay control, then audience engagement increases, but audience flow becomes irregular and disorder occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience engagementVSAvoidaudience flow stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating red envelopes and setting up distribution rules before the actual distribution event. The delay mechanism is pre-configured, and red envelopes are prepared in advance, allowing controlled release at predetermined moments to maintain audience stability while ensuring engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The distribution system implements periodic action through timed delay intervals between red envelope releases. Instead of continuous or random distribution, the system uses scheduled intervals to release red envelopes, creating rhythm and predictability in audience flow while maintaining engagement through regular surprises.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Productivity

If red envelopes are distributed immediately, then audience engagement increases, but anchor interests are harmed due to unbalanced popularity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience engagementVSAvoidpopularity balance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system calculates and prepares distribution amounts in advance based on real-time audience numbers before actual distribution. This preliminary calculation ensures that each anchor receives a fair and balanced allocation according to their actual audience size, preventing popularity imbalance while maintaining engagement through timely distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring audience numbers and using this information to adjust distribution amounts. The real-time feedback loop ensures that anchors receive red envelopes proportional to their actual audience engagement, maintaining fairness and balance in popularity distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Stability of the object's composition

If delay is set for red envelope distribution, then audience stability is maintained, but access time is delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience stabilityVSAvoidaccess delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies dynamics by making the delay period adjustable and adaptable rather than fixed. The delay duration can be dynamically configured based on specific distribution scenarios, allowing optimization between stability maintenance and access speed. The system adapts delay parameters to different distribution contexts to minimize time loss while preserving stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Methods, devices, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums are provided for distributing red envelops. The method includes following steps: generating red envelopes based on a user instruction; receiving a first request for accessing the red envelopes in response to a delay condition being fulfilled; calculating one or more amounts based on an audience number of online audiences at current moment; and placing the one or more amounts at a preset position of a container for displaying.
