Stream Chat Filtering via Section Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In large-scale online multiplayer gaming and spectating, chat messages become chaotic and difficult to follow due to the large number of participants, making it hard for users to engage in coherent conversations.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for filtering stream chat messages by assigning users to smaller sections based on filtering attributes, such as common interests or keywords, allowing for more organized discussions within the larger chat session.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a large number of spectators participate in the chat stream, then the chat becomes more lively and engaging, but the chat messages become chaotic and difficult to follow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the large chat stream into multiple smaller sectioned chats based on filtering attributes such as user interests, keywords, or message content. This allows the overall chat to remain lively with many participants while each segment maintains coherence and organization. Users can view and participate in specific sections relevant to their interests, preventing the chaos that would occur in a single undifferentiated chat stream.
2Loss of information
If all chat messages are displayed in a single stream, then all participants can see all messages, but individual messages are lost among numerous other messages and lose context
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a dimensional layer to the chat structure by creating sections within the chat stream. Instead of a single flat chat stream, messages are organized into multiple sections based on filtering attributes. This dimensional change allows messages to maintain their original context within specific sections while still being part of the larger chat ecosystem, preventing information loss without requiring complex hierarchical structures.
3Ease of operation
If chat messages are filtered into sections based on attributes, then message coherence improves, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the system automatically detects section triggers in messages and applies filtering attributes to organize chats into sections without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously creates sections, assigns messages to appropriate sections, and updates the chat structure in real-time, reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining effective chat organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes filtering attributes and section criteria in advance before chat messages need to be organized. By pre-defining the attributes and section structures, the system prepares the framework for automatic message sorting, reducing the complexity of real-time chat organization while improving message coherence through predetermined categorization criteria.

AI summary
The subject disclosure relates to filtering stream chat messages. In some aspects, a process of the disclosed technology can include operations for receiving messages from a plurality of user accounts, detecting a section trigger indicating one or more filtering attributes, and filtering messages based on the filtering attribute. In some aspects, the process can further include operations for creating a section, adding one or more users to it and generating a section level, where the section level and messages associated with it are displayed to the added users. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
