Solution Overview

Problem

Existing gaming systems do not effectively utilize location-based interactions to provide differentiated benefits to users participating in live streaming environments, failing to account for the geographical location of client devices and their wagering activities or non-streaming interactions.

Innovation Solution

A live streaming platform system that determines benefits for users based on the location of client devices, accounting for wagering activities and non-streaming interactions, and offers location-specific features and functionalities through a processor-controlled interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the system provides uniform benefits to all users regardless of location, then the system is simple to operate, but user engagement and participation are not optimized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoiduser engagement and participation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by providing different benefits to users based on their geographical location. The server determines the location of each client device and assigns location-specific benefits, making the benefit structure adaptive to local conditions rather than uniformly applied across all users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamics by making benefits variable rather than static. The benefit structure changes dynamically based on the user's location, allowing the system to adapt to different geographical contexts and optimize engagement for each location independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If the system implements location-based differentiated benefits, then user engagement increases, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagement and participationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies self-service by automatically determining user location and assigning appropriate benefits without requiring manual intervention. The server autonomously handles location detection and benefit allocation, reducing the operational complexity despite the sophisticated benefit structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements universality by using a single server-based platform that handles multiple functions: live streaming, location determination, benefit calculation, and distribution. This multi-functional approach consolidates complexity into a central system rather than requiring separate systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Device complexity

If the system tracks only streaming activities, then the tracking system is simple, but the benefits do not account for offline wagering activities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetracking system complexityVSAvoidoffline activity information
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges streaming activity tracking with offline wagering activity tracking into a unified benefit determination system. By combining these previously separate tracking functions, the system captures both online and offline user activities, ensuring comprehensive benefit calculation without requiring entirely separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
