Solution Overview

Problem

Current live streaming platforms lack the ability to seamlessly integrate interactive content generation and communication of wagering game events in real-time, leading to user disengagement and missed interactions.

Innovation Solution

A live streaming platform server with a processor and memory that automatically generates and communicates interactive content to client devices based on data from streaming devices, enabling users to interact with each other and trigger events within the streaming environment, such as automatic chat message generation and wager placement via chat messages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual interaction methods are used in live streaming, then user engagement is maintained through direct input, but user disengagement occurs due to high manual input requirements and delayed responses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual input requirementsVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates chat messages and places wagers without requiring manual user input. The gaming machine monitors game events and autonomously creates interactive content, eliminating the need for users to manually type or select interactions while maintaining continuous engagement through automated responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures interaction templates and wager options that are automatically selected and executed when triggering events occur. This preliminary preparation of interaction content allows the system to respond instantly to game events without requiring real-time manual input from users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If real-time interaction content is generated and communicated, then user engagement is enhanced through timely responses, but system complexity increases due to automatic generation and communication protocols

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetimely event reportingVSAvoidautomatic generation system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the interaction generation process into separate functional modules: event detection, content generation, and communication transmission. Each module handles a specific aspect of interaction, allowing the complex system to be managed through modular components that work independently but coordinate through standardized interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between the gaming machine and client devices, automatically generating interaction content and managing communication protocols. This intermediary layer handles the complexity of real-time content generation and distribution, shielding the gaming machine from direct complexity while enabling timely responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of energy

If audio/video and chat data are consolidated and transmitted, then bandwidth demands are reduced through efficient data integration, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebandwidth demandsVSAvoiddata consolidation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges audio/video stream data with chat message data into a single integrated data stream for transmission. By consolidating multiple data types into one unified stream, the system reduces the total bandwidth required compared to transmitting separate streams, while the server handles the complexity of data integration through automated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
