Server Selecting Live Distribution Content for Cruise Services
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In live distribution systems, the lack of control over cruise destination selection leads to divergence and increased server load, resulting in a decrease in the number of spectators selecting live distribution content, which negatively impacts both users and distributors.
Innovation Solution
A server system that selects and presents options for live distribution content to spectators, allowing them to choose their next destination while limiting candidate choices to prevent divergence and manage server load effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If spectators completely freely select cruise destination, then spectator engagement and choice satisfaction improve, but destination divergence increases and server load becomes unpredictable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the number of candidate destinations presented to spectators based on the current cruise depth. As the cruise progresses through more destinations, the system reduces the number of candidates offered for selection, thereby controlling the exponential growth of possible paths while maintaining spectator engagement. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction between freedom of choice and system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If spectators completely freely select cruise destination, then spectator engagement improves, but the number of streamings increases due to destination divergence
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of candidate destination count based on cruise progression. By limiting the number of candidates as the cruise deepens, the patent controls the branching factor of destination selection, thereby suppressing the exponential increase in total streamings while preserving spectator choice freedom at earlier stages.
3Ease of operation
If service provider determines cruise course, then spectator can view various contents without operation, but spectator feels pressure to view unwanted content and may refrain from using service
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic system that transitions from static provider-determined courses to dynamic spectator-participatory courses. The system adapts the cruise path based on spectator selections at each destination, allowing the course to evolve dynamically. This resolves the contradiction by combining the convenience of automated routing with the adaptability of user preference matching.
4Productivity
If spectators sequentially select next destination, then cruise user number and embarking continuation rate increase, but course control becomes complicated and server load prediction becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent controls the parameter of candidate destination count as a function of cruise depth. By reducing the number of candidates as the cruise progresses, the system limits the exponential growth of possible paths, making server load predictable while maintaining high user retention through sequential selection engagement.

AI summary
A server controlling a live distribution content that is distributed to a spectator terminal for a cruise service allowing a spectator to cruise around a plurality of live distribution contents is provided. The server includes a selection unit and a determination unit. The selection unit selects a plurality of candidates with respect to each selection opportunity for the spectator to select the live distribution content to be distributed to the spectator terminal. The determination unit determines the live distribution content to be distributed to the spectator terminal on the basis of information indicating an option that is selected by the spectator from a plurality of options. At least one of the plurality of candidates selected in at least one selection opportunity includes a common live distribution content regardless of the live distribution content that is viewed by the spectator at the time of selecting the plurality of candidates.
