Spectator Reaction Visualization in Remote Live Video Streams
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for presenting spectator reactions in remote live events, such as text messages or button selections, inadequately convey excitement, enthusiasm, or support to performers, limiting their motivation and ability to communicate with distant spectators.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that receives spectator reaction information and generates an effect video, which changes based on the reactions, allowing for the visualization of these reactions and enabling communication between performers and spectators through dynamic visual elements like moving fountains, fireworks, or face videos.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If text messages or button selections are used to present spectator reactions, then the implementation is simple, but the excitement and enthusiasm of spectators cannot be sufficiently conveyed to performers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes to visual effects in the video stream to represent different spectator reactions. Different colors indicate different levels of excitement or reaction types, allowing performers to visually perceive spectator enthusiasm without complex text or button interfaces. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining implementation simplicity while significantly improving reaction expression capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from one-dimensional text or button selections to multi-dimensional visual effects including color, size, position, and animation. These visual dimensions provide richer information about spectator reactions while still being implemented through standard video processing techniques, thus conveying more information without proportionally increasing implementation complexity.
2Loss of information
If visual effects are used to present spectator reactions, then the reaction expression is enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a reaction presentation system that serves multiple functions: it detects spectator reactions, processes the reaction data, generates appropriate visual effects, and integrates these effects into the live video stream. By making the system multi-functional, it achieves enhanced reaction expression without requiring separate complex subsystems for each function, thus controlling overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that receives spectator reaction data and transforms it into visual effects parameters. This intermediary layer acts as a mediator between the simple reaction detection input and the complex visual effect output, managing system complexity by centralizing the transformation logic in a single processing module rather than distributing complexity across multiple components.

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing device, a method, and a program that more effectively display a reaction of a spectator. The information processing device includes a communication unit that receives reaction information indicating the reaction of the spectator outside a venue of a predetermined event and a control unit that generates an effect video that changes according to the reaction of the spectator on the basis of the reaction information. The present technology is applicable to a remote live system.
