Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for distributing viewer considerations in video streaming, such as the throwing money system, lack clarity on the destination of the consideration, making it ambiguous where the reward ultimately belongs.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that acquires video and viewer information to distribute considerations to multiple subjects, including performers, their organizations, and event promoters, based on the timing and context of the video streaming, using a weighted distribution algorithm.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a throwing money system is used to provide rewards from viewers to performers, then viewer engagement and real-time feedback are improved, but the destination and distribution of the consideration becomes ambiguous

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer engagementVSAvoidconsideration destination clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the consideration distribution into multiple distinct categories (performer, organization, event promoter) with specific allocation rules for each segment. This segmentation resolves the ambiguity by clearly defining where each portion of the consideration goes, while maintaining the ease of operation through automated distribution based on video and viewer information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If consideration is distributed to multiple subjects, then fairness and transparency in reward allocation are improved, but the complexity of distribution processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistribution fairnessVSAvoiddistribution processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining allocation rules and weightings for different subjects before the actual consideration distribution occurs. The system establishes the distribution framework in advance, including how video information and viewer information will be weighted, which simplifies the real-time processing complexity while ensuring fair and transparent allocation across multiple subjects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
