Solution Overview

Problem

Current recording and streaming systems for live events cannot selectively record or stream real scenes and supplemental contents, limiting user experience and event organizers' control over shared content, as they cannot exclude certain information from being displayed or shared.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for recording and sharing content that allows real-time capture of physical scenes, generation of supplemental contents, and selective output based on user information and configurations, enabling users to choose what content to display and share, including interactive information and special effects, and controlling the broadcasting of these contents to specific audiences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all supplemental contents are recorded and shared with public audiences, then the completeness of recorded information is improved, but the privacy and security of sensitive information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of recorded informationVSAvoidprivacy and security of sensitive information
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments supplemental contents into different types (interactive information, prompt information, advertisement information, etc.) and applies different recording and sharing strategies to each type. The system divides the content stream into selectable components that can be independently controlled for recording and sharing purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different quality attributes to different portions of supplemental contents based on their sensitivity and intended audience. Sensitive contents are marked with restricted sharing attributes, while non-sensitive contents are marked for public sharing, allowing each content element to have its own sharing quality settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If users can selectively remove certain contents from recording, then the privacy control is improved, but the complexity of the recording system deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy controlVSAvoidcomplexity of the recording system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary classification and tagging of supplemental contents during the streaming phase, marking each content type with metadata indicating its suitability for recording and sharing. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex real-time user filtering during recording, as the selection logic is pre-established.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically manages the selection of supplemental contents for recording based on pre-configured rules and user preferences, without requiring manual intervention. The recording system self-regulates which contents to include or exclude based on content type, user role, and privacy settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If event organizers deliver additional supplemental contents to on-site audiences, then the user experience is improved, but the difficulty of managing content sharing deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiddifficulty of managing content sharing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic content delivery where supplemental contents are adaptively provided to on-site audiences based on their location, device type, and interaction state. The system dynamically adjusts which contents are delivered and how they are shared, allowing flexible management without fixed rigid rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where user interactions with supplemental contents inform future content delivery and sharing decisions. The system learns from user behavior patterns and adjusts content management strategies accordingly, reducing the manual management burden on organizers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A content recording and sharing method is applied to a computing device. The method includes: obtaining a video in real time, the video capturing a physical scene for a time duration; generating supplemental contents synchronized with the video; receiving user information from a first user terminal device; determining first selected supplemental content according to the user information and a first selection rule, and sending the first selected supplemental content to the first user terminal device; determining second selected supplemental content according to a second selection rule; and sharing the video and the second selected supplemental content with one or more second user terminal devices.
