Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live video broadcasting methods on mobile terminals lack convenience and efficiency, especially when users are moving or stationary outdoors, as they require manual operation and do not effectively utilize audio and image information for seamless video sharing.

Innovation Solution

A live video broadcasting method and device that utilizes smart glasses to receive and synthesize image and audio information, allowing for automatic video streaming to a video playing terminal, with control instructions for image and audio acquisition elements and transmission states, and communication connections with wearable equipment for enhanced user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual operation is used for live video broadcasting on mobile terminals, then users can control the broadcasting process, but convenience and efficiency are reduced especially when moving or stationary outdoors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of live video broadcastingVSAvoidefficiency of video sharing
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects audio information containing control instructions and executes corresponding operations without requiring manual user input. The mobile terminal autonomously synthesizes video information from image and audio data, and automatically manages the broadcasting process, enabling hands-free operation while maintaining full functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors audio information for control instructions and responds by adjusting video broadcasting parameters. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adapt to user needs automatically, improving both convenience and efficiency by eliminating manual operation requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Extent of automation

If smart glasses with image and audio acquisition elements are used, then automatic video synthesis and streaming is enabled, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic video synthesis and streamingVSAvoidcomplexity of system configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal serves multiple functions: it receives and processes image information from smart glasses, acquires audio information, synthesizes video data, and manages broadcasting. This multi-functional approach consolidates complexity into a single device rather than requiring separate specialized equipment for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile terminal acts as an intermediary between the smart glasses and the video playing terminal. It receives raw image and audio data from the glasses, performs synthesis and processing, then transmits the finalized video information to the playing terminal, simplifying the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If audio information is continuously processed for control instructions, then hands-free operation is achieved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehands-free operation capabilityVSAvoidpower consumption of mobile terminal
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuously processing all audio information, the system periodically checks for control instructions by detecting specific audio patterns. This periodic detection approach reduces power consumption compared to continuous analysis while still enabling hands-free operation when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system processes only the necessary portion of audio information - specifically looking for control instructions - rather than analyzing all audio data in detail. This partial processing approach achieves hands-free control functionality while minimizing energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
