Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for live video streaming and user interface design lack efficient sentiment analysis and dynamic interaction capabilities, leading to suboptimal user experience and limited cognitive and ergonomic efficiencies.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for live video streaming that incorporates sentiment analysis by processing user inputs, determining overall sentiment among viewers, and dynamically overlaying animations or indications onto the video stream based on aggregated sentiments, enhancing user interaction and engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If real-time sentiment analysis and dynamic animation overlay are implemented in the video streaming system, then user engagement and interaction are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments sentiment analysis into individual viewer-level processing, where each viewer's inputs are analyzed separately and then aggregated. This divides the complex task of real-time sentiment analysis into manageable units that can be processed independently and combined, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining real-time capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer that aggregates individual viewer sentiments before generating animation overlays. This intermediary aggregation step simplifies the processing by working with consolidated sentiment data rather than individually processing each viewer's inputs separately, reducing computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If multiple user inputs are processed and aggregated in real-time, then sentiment accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesentiment accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary aggregation of user inputs as they arrive, maintaining running totals of sentiment expressions without waiting for all inputs to be collected. This preliminary processing enables real-time sentiment determination while still incorporating multiple user inputs, balancing accuracy with processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where sentiment analysis results are continuously updated as new user inputs arrive. This allows the system to refine sentiment accuracy over time while providing real-time updates, managing computational load by processing inputs incrementally rather than all at once.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Embodiments of the systems, methods, and computer readable medium devices disclosed herein provide a sentiment analysis system that can determine sentiment from an input of a user received from a device. Once the input is received, parsing and analysis can be performed to determine a particular sentiment corresponding to the input. The system can determine an overall sentiment of some or all of the users or viewers watching a particular video stream, such as a live video stream. The determined overall sentiment can represent a metric indicating what users generally feel about a portion of the video stream, and the system can use the determination to cause modification of the video stream or a future video stream to enhance the user experience.
