Supplemental Content Generation for Interactive Media
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current media delivery systems lack the ability to provide customized and interactive media experiences, relying on passive metadata access and minimal consumer engagement, failing to offer an immersive experience.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that generates and delivers supplemental content based on source media metadata and consumer preferences, using virtual companions to interact with media consumers in real-time, enhancing the media consumption experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If passive metadata access is provided to media consumers, then information about source media is available to aid selection, but the media consumption experience remains non-interactive and minimally engaging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces supplemental content as an intermediary element between the source media and the consumer. This supplemental content, generated based on metadata and consumer preferences, actively engages consumers without requiring them to manually access metadata, thus bridging the gap between information availability and interactive engagement
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring consumer interactions with supplemental content and using this information to dynamically adjust and personalize future supplemental content delivery, creating an immersive and adaptive media experience that continuously responds to consumer preferences
2Ease of operation
If supplemental content is generated based on consumer preferences and delivered in real-time, then media experience becomes interactive and immersive, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating supplemental content based on available metadata and consumer preferences before the actual media consumption occurs. This allows the supplemental content to be ready for immediate delivery, reducing real-time processing requirements while maintaining high interaction levels
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting supplemental content generation based on varying consumer preferences, media types, and contextual factors. This enables the system to handle complexity through flexible parameter adjustment rather than rigid structural complexity
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure sets forth a technique for providing supplemental content along with source media. The technique includes receiving source media and content metadata associated with the source media, generating supplemental content based on the content metadata and preferences of one or more media consumers, and delivering the supplement content along with the source media to the one or more media consumers.
