Remote Engagement System for Live Events
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Remote viewers of live events lack the ability to convey support or discontent to event participants in real-time, failing to engage with the live audience effectively.
Innovation Solution
A remote engagement system that includes output devices at live events and user input devices connected via a communications network, where signals from remote viewers control audio and visual outputs in real-time, amplifying responses based on the number of inputs received.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If remote viewers use traditional passive viewing methods, then they can watch live events without interference, but they cannot convey support or discontent to event participants in real-time
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements real-time feedback by capturing audience reactions through input devices (microphones, sensors) and transmitting processed audio-visual signals back to the live event venue. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables remote viewers to convey support or discontent to event participants instantaneously, resolving the information loss between distant audiences and on-site participants.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller acts as an intermediary device that receives signals from remote input devices, processes them in real-time, and transmits appropriate commands to output devices at the event venue. This intermediary system bridges the geographical gap between remote viewers and on-site participants, enabling effective communication without direct physical presence.
2Productivity
If the system processes signals from multiple input devices in real-time, then remote engagement is achieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller is designed as a multi-functional device that can simultaneously receive signals from multiple types of input devices (microphones, sensors, input devices), process various signal types (audio, visual, data), and communicate with different output devices. This universal design consolidates multiple functions into a single system, managing complexity through integration rather than proliferation of separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex mechanical signal routing and manual processing with electronic and software-based solutions. Digital signal processing, automated protocol handling, and software-controlled device management substitute for manual mechanical operations, reducing physical complexity while maintaining real-time processing capabilities across multiple input devices.

AI summary
A remote engagement system for a live event includes at least one output device located at the live event for providing an audio and/or visual output to people at the live event. A controller receives signals transmitted from a plurality of user input devices and in response thereto and in real time or near real time, controls the at least one output device located at the live event to provide an audio and/or visual output to people at the live event.
