Solution Overview

Problem

Current audio and video recording 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 lack the ability to exclude specific information for non-participating audiences.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that obtains real-time image information and user information to present a virtual content sharing scene, allowing selective inclusion of authorized supplemental content based on user types, using location or identity verification, and enabling users to choose and share specific content during recording, playback, and streaming.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If all supplemental content is recorded and shared with all users, then the completeness of content is improved, but the control over information security and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent completenessVSAvoidinformation security risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different supplemental content to different user types. The system identifies user types (e.g., on-site participants vs. off-site viewers) and selectively delivers appropriate supplemental content to each group, ensuring that sensitive information is only shared with authorized users while maintaining content completeness for each individual user group.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If selective recording of supplemental content is implemented, then the control over content distribution is improved, but the system complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent distribution controlVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the audience into different user types (e.g., on-site participants, off-site viewers, different permission levels) and creates separate content streams for each segment. This segmentation enables selective distribution of supplemental content to appropriate user groups while managing system complexity through structured user classification and permission-based content delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Object-affected harmful factors

If user verification is implemented for content access, then the information security is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoiduser operation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by verifying user identities and determining user types before granting access to supplemental content. The system performs authentication and authorization checks in advance, so that once users are verified, they can access their designated content without repeated verification steps, thereby maintaining security while improving operational convenience during the actual content viewing experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A content sharing method applied to a computing device includes: obtaining real-time image information of a target content for a content sharing event, obtaining user information of a plurality of user devices participating the content sharing event, presenting a virtual content sharing scene that includes the image information of the target content and interaction information, obtaining authorized supplemental content corresponding to a target user type of the target user device, and presenting at least part of the authorized supplemental content in the content sharing scene. The user information of the plurality of user devices includes a plurality of user types of the plurality of user devices. The authorized supplemental content corresponding to a first user type is different from the authorized supplemental content corresponding to a second user type different from the first user type.
