Server Apparatus for Remote Live Content Viewer Pose Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies fail to facilitate smooth collection of photographed images from viewers by distributors in live content distribution, particularly when the distributor is far away from the viewer, due to limitations in guidance and communication range.
Innovation Solution
A server apparatus that communicates with both distributor and viewer terminals, acquires and sets photographing conditions, transmits photographing instruction signals, and collects photographed images, enabling remote and efficient image collection through network communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the distributor makes a request for the viewer to perform photographing and transmit photographed image data, then the distributed content can include viewer photographs, but the request is likely to be denied by the viewer
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting viewer poses, capturing images, and selecting appropriate photographs without requiring explicit viewer commands. The server apparatus detects poses based on captured images, determines whether photographing conditions are satisfied, and autonomously executes image capture and selection, thereby preparing and executing photographing operations before viewers can deny requests.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing viewers to participate in photographing activities through passive pose detection rather than active command input. The server apparatus automatically processes viewer images, detects poses, and captures photographs based on detected poses, making the photographing process self-executing and eliminating the need for viewers to explicitly request or authorize each photographing operation.
2Area of stationary object
If the distributor is far away from the viewer, then the distributor can reach more viewers through network distribution, but the distributor cannot directly guide the viewer to perform photographing actions
Solution Approach 1:
The server apparatus acts as an intermediary between the distributor and viewers. It receives distribution information from the distributor, automatically detects viewer poses from captured images, determines photographing conditions, and executes image capture operations. This intermediary system bridges the distance gap, enabling remote distributors to guide and coordinate photographing activities with viewers through automated server-side processing rather than direct human interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces mechanical guidance (direct human-to-human communication and physical presence) with automated server-side image processing and pose detection algorithms. The server apparatus uses computational methods to detect poses, determine conditions, and trigger photographing operations, substituting the need for physical proximity and direct guidance with remote automated processing through network communication.
3Productivity
If the distributor provides detailed guidance for photographing, then the photographed images can be obtained, but the guidance process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The server apparatus performs self-service by automatically detecting viewer poses from captured images and determining whether photographing conditions are satisfied without requiring complex guidance processes. The system autonomously processes images, identifies poses, and executes photographing operations based on detected conditions, eliminating the need for detailed distributor guidance and reducing process complexity while maintaining high acquisition rates.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex mechanical guidance processes with automated server-side image processing and pose detection algorithms. The server apparatus uses computational methods to analyze captured images, detect poses, and determine photographing conditions automatically, substituting manual guidance complexity with streamlined automated processing that reduces both time and operational complexity.

AI summary
A server apparatus performs communication with a distributor terminal that is used by a distributor of live content, and a viewer terminal that is used by a viewer of the live content. The server apparatus includes a photographing condition acquisition unit, a photographing instruction signal transmission unit, and a photographed image acquisition unit. The photographing condition acquisition unit acquires a photographing condition set by the distributor from the distributor terminal. The photographing instruction signal transmission unit transmits a photographing instruction signal, which allows a photographing operation to be executed in a case where the viewer satisfies the photographing condition, to the viewer terminal. The photographed image acquisition unit acquires a photographed image obtained by the photographing operation from the viewer terminal.
