Server Device Classifying Game Video Evaluations by Activity Track Records
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video evaluation systems do not account for game activity track records, resulting in their exclusion from video evaluations and management.
Innovation Solution
A server device that connects video display terminals via a network, storing activity data associated with user information and classifying evaluation results into special and general categories based on activity track records, enhancing the visibility and weight of game-related evaluations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If video evaluation systems manage only general user evaluations without considering game activity track records, then the system structure remains simple, but the reliability and usefulness of evaluation results for game videos are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments evaluation results into two distinct categories: general evaluation results from all users and special evaluation results from users with game activity track records. This segmentation allows the system to differentiate between casual viewers and experienced gamers, providing more reliable evaluations for game videos while maintaining a manageable system structure through clear categorization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different weights and visibility to different types of evaluation results based on user characteristics. Special evaluation results from gamers with activity track records are given higher prominence and weight compared to general evaluations. This localized enhancement of quality ensures that relevant expert opinions have greater impact without requiring complete system restructuring.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system integrates and manages game activity track records alongside video evaluations, then the usefulness of evaluation results is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling the evaluation system to handle both general video evaluations and game-specific evaluations within a single framework. The system can process activity data from game terminals, associate it with user accounts, and integrate these specialized evaluations alongside general video reviews. This universal approach allows the system to adapt to different video types without requiring separate specialized systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The server device acts as an intermediary that bridges game terminals and video display terminals. It receives activity data from game terminals, processes and stores it in association with user identification information, and then uses this information to modulate the presentation of evaluation results on video display terminals. This intermediary role manages complexity by centralizing the integration logic in the server rather than requiring changes at multiple client levels.
3Measurement precision
If special evaluation results from users with activity track records are distinguished and prioritized, then the precision of evaluation information is improved, but the complexity of result management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments evaluation results into distinct categories with clear labeling: general evaluation results and special evaluation results. This segmentation is implemented through the result classification unit, which automatically categorizes evaluations based on whether the user has associated game activity track records. The segmented presentation allows users to clearly distinguish between expert gamer opinions and general viewer opinions, improving information precision through explicit categorization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs visual differentiation (analogous to color changes) to distinguish between special and general evaluation results. The result provision unit presents special evaluation results with enhanced visibility, such as different icons, labels, or positioning, allowing users to quickly identify and prioritize expert opinions. This visual coding system improves measurement precision by making the quality distinction immediately apparent without requiring complex analysis.

AI summary
Provided is a server device that is capable of reflecting a game activity track record in evaluation results of a game video. A center server is connected via a network to a user terminal that displays videos and manages evaluation results of each user when the videos are evaluated by the users. In addition, if a game video related to a game provided by the user terminal is displayed on the user terminal, the center server stores play data described so as to associate a user ID with information on the presence or absence of each user's play track record of the game. The center server classifies the evaluation results, on the basis of the information on the presence or absence of a play track record, into mutually separate special evaluation results and general evaluation results, and provides the evaluation results so as to include the special evaluation results.
