Shared Video Segment Display for Synchronized Viewing Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques do not allow users viewing a recorded moving image simultaneously to grasp which temporal segment of the image is of interest to other users.
Innovation Solution
A display terminal and communication system that enables playback of a moving image with modes for receiving instructions to share temporal segments and displaying shared segments from multiple terminals, allowing users to view and share specific image segments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users view a recorded moving image simultaneously, then the shared viewing experience is enabled, but the ability to identify which temporal segment is of interest to other users is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The moving image is divided into multiple temporal segments, and interest information is associated with specific segments rather than the entire image. This allows individual segments to be identified and shared independently, resolving the contradiction by enabling segment-level information preservation while maintaining simultaneous multi-user viewing capability
Solution Approach 2:
The system collects interest information from multiple users regarding which temporal segments they find interesting, and feeds back this information to other users viewing the same recorded moving image. This feedback mechanism enables users to identify segments of interest to others while maintaining the shared viewing experience
2Ease of operation
If the system displays information about other users' viewing interests, then user collaboration is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing system performs multiple functions: it manages the distribution of recorded moving images, collects interest information from users, processes this information to identify interesting segments, and transmits both the image data and interest information to multiple terminals. By consolidating these functions in a single multi-functional system rather than distributing complexity across multiple devices, the solution enhances collaboration while controlling overall system complexity

AI summary
A display terminal comprising circuitry that plays back a moving image on a display, the moving image having been recorded in distribution of the moving image to one or more communication terminals; and displays a display area for a first mode and a display area for a second mode on the display, the first mode being a mode for receiving an instruction to share a moving image segment that is a temporal segment of the recorded moving image during playback of the recorded moving image, and the second mode being a mode for displaying respective moving image segments that are temporal segments of moving images shared by a plurality of display terminals including the display terminal.
