Stadium Videograph Real-Time Fan Interaction System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Remote viewers at live events lack the ability to interact with celebrities or athletes in real-time, as existing remote engagement systems do not facilitate two-way communication.
Innovation Solution
A remote engagement system with interactive input and output devices at the venue, allowing fans to send and receive recorded text, images, video, and sound messages in real-time, enabling personalized responses from the intended recipients.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a remote engagement system is implemented to allow fans to send messages to event participants, then fan engagement is improved, but two-way communication capability deteriorates (only one-way messaging is possible)
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where event participants receive messages from remote fans and can send responses back through the same platform. The controller facilitates this two-way communication by routing responses from participants back to the originating fans, creating a closed-loop feedback system that enables genuine interaction rather than one-way messaging.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller acts as an intermediary device that mediates communication between remote fans and event participants. It receives messages from fans, forwards them to participants, and then routes participant responses back to the appropriate fans, serving as a communication broker that enables two-way interaction without requiring direct connection between the parties.
2Adaptability or versatility
If interactive input and output devices are deployed at the venue for real-time communication, then communication capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller is designed as a multi-functional device that handles multiple communication tasks: receiving messages from fans, displaying them on screens, routing responses from participants, and transmitting responses back to fans. This universal device performs all communication functions through a single system rather than requiring separate specialized devices for each function, thereby reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the functions of message reception, display, response routing, and communication management into a single integrated controller and display system. By combining these previously separate functions into one unified system, the patent reduces the number of individual components needed and simplifies the overall system architecture while maintaining full two-way communication capability.

AI summary
A remote engagement system for a live event occurring at a venue includes an interactive input and output device located at the venue for providing recorded video, text, sounds, etc. to an intended recipient at the venue. A controller receives signals transmitted from a plurality of user input devices located remotely from each other and from the venue and transmits signals containing video and optionally text and/or sounds recorded by the intended recipient using the interactive input and output device to a remote user input device.
