Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems do not efficiently enable the refunding of wagers placed at a client device on events occurring at a streaming device within a live streaming platform.

Innovation Solution

A live streaming platform server processes data from a streaming device to track wagers placed from a client device, determining a benefit amount based on these wagers and modifying the client device's balance accordingly upon the conclusion of a streaming session and the occurrence of a benefit realization event.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the system tracks and processes wager data from multiple streaming devices in real-time, then user engagement and wagering participation increase, but system complexity and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewager processing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides wager processing into separate modular components: wager placement modules at client devices, data transmission modules, server-side tracking modules, and benefit calculation modules. Each module handles a specific aspect of wager processing independently, improving overall system efficiency while managing complexity through functional segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between streaming devices and client devices, receiving wager data from streaming devices, processing the data, and communicating benefit information to client devices. This intermediary architecture centralizes complex processing logic and data management, reducing the computational burden on individual client devices while maintaining real-time processing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the system provides real-time wager tracking and benefit calculation across multiple devices, then user benefit realization improves, but data transmission and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebenefit accuracyVSAvoidsession conclusion processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary tracking of wager data throughout the streaming session, continuously monitoring and accumulating wager information as events occur. This preliminary action ensures that when the session concludes, the benefit calculation can be performed quickly using pre-collected data, reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where wager data is tracked in real-time, benefit calculations are periodically updated, and users receive ongoing information about their wager status and potential benefits. This feedback mechanism ensures accuracy while distributing processing over time rather than concentrating it at session conclusion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
