Live Streaming Chat Wager Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current live streaming platforms lack efficient mechanisms for users to interact with each other and with streamers, particularly in wagering games, leading to missed opportunities and delayed user interactions due to separate data processing and timing delays in audio/video and chat content delivery.
Innovation Solution
A system that integrates live streaming platform servers with processors and memory to receive and process data from streaming devices and client devices, enabling users to place wagers via chat messages and automatically generate and broadcast chat messages based on gaming events, while consolidating chat data with video streams to reduce bandwidth requirements and eliminate timing delays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If separate data processing is used for audio/video and chat content, then system functionality is maintained, but timing delays occur and user interaction is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges audio/video data processing and chat data processing into a single integrated system. The server receives both audio/video streams and chat messages through the same processing architecture, consolidating what were previously separate data streams into one unified handling mechanism, thereby eliminating timing delays between different content types.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing system is designed to handle multiple types of data (audio/video and chat) through a universal processing framework. The server can process both stream data and chat messages using the same core processing logic, making the system multi-functional and eliminating the need for separate processing pipelines that caused delays.
2Loss of energy
If chat data is not consolidated with video streams, then system simplicity is maintained, but bandwidth requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines chat data with video stream data into a single consolidated data stream. Instead of transmitting chat messages as separate data packets, the system integrates them into the video stream itself, reducing the total bandwidth required for transmission while maintaining both content types' availability.
3Ease of operation
If users cannot place wagers through chat interactions, then system complexity is reduced, but user engagement and interaction opportunities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The chat system is designed to serve multiple functions: it not only enables text communication between users but also processes wager placement commands. The same chat interface and processing system handle both social interaction and betting operations, allowing users to place wagers through natural chat interactions without requiring a separate betting interface.
