Solution Overview

Problem

Current social media and content sharing platforms lack effective methods for embedding and referencing digital media within other content, limiting user engagement and advertising relevance while not impacting user experience.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented software system that allows users to embed and reference digital media within posts, using a database system with social graph capabilities, enabling dynamic search and social experiences, and providing a platform for connecting people, businesses, and advertisers through video, images, and other content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If digital media is embedded within other digital media in a traditional 2D platform, then content sharing is enabled, but user engagement and advertising relevance are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent embedding capabilityVSAvoiduser engagement effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from traditional 2D content embedding to 3D spatial embedding within digital media. Posts, videos, and digital media can be positioned at specific 3D coordinates (x, y, z) within a video frame, creating a multi-dimensional content layering system that enables more versatile and engaging content interactions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If advertisements are added to social media platforms, then revenue generation is improved, but user experience may be negatively impacted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising effectivenessVSAvoiduser experience impact
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different regions of a video frame to have different properties and purposes. Advertisements can be embedded in specific 3D locations within the video content, enabling targeted ad placement that is relevant to the surrounding content and less intrusive to users. Each region of the video can serve different functions (content, advertisement, interaction) simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If posts are embedded within posts in a linear sequence, then content referencing is enabled, but dynamic search and social experience are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent referencingVSAvoidsearch and social experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms linear post sequencing into 3D spatial arrangement. Posts can be positioned at various depths and locations within a video frame, creating a spatial social graph where content relationships are represented through 3D coordinates rather than linear sequences. This enables dynamic search capabilities based on spatial proximity and hierarchical positioning

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

4Ease of operation

If traditional content sharing methods are used, then basic communication is achieved, but meaningful connection and additional value creation are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharingVSAvoidmeaning and experience transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements nesting by allowing posts to contain other posts, which can contain additional posts, creating nested content structures. A video can contain embedded posts at different 3D locations, each of which can further contain additional content layers. This nested structure preserves and transmits multiple layers of meaning and context, enabling richer communication while maintaining ease of sharing through the unified 3D embedding system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

There is disclosed herein a system of managing posts for interacting with web based digital video. The system comprises a user interface application operating on one or more user devices which are operative to view web based digital video, the user interface application creating posts that refer to 3d, 360 degree, geocoded or spherical digital image and video. A database system stores user created posts. A programmed processing system is in operative communication with user devices and the database system for creating and managing programmed links between user created posts and one or more select locations in select web based digital video, wherein users interacting with the user interface application can access user created posts.
