Synchronized User-Created Content Display for Video Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
IPTV systems lack the ability for viewers to easily access and share user-created content related to video content, making it difficult to find additional information and reactions from other users during viewing.
Innovation Solution
A method for displaying user-created content in video content, involving a service server that receives, filters, and schedules user-generated content for display during relevant times based on meta information, ensuring relevance and minimizing duplicates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If user-created content is displayed together with video content, then user experience is enhanced and information accessibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a control layer as an intermediary between the video content and user-created content. This control layer manages the integration, timing, and display of user-generated content without complicating the core video playback system. The control layer acts as a mediator that handles the complexity of synchronizing multiple content sources while keeping the user interface simple and the main video system unchanged.
2Loss of information
If user-created content is synchronized with video content playback, then information relevance is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by designating exposure times for user-created content in advance, based on upload times and metadata analysis. The system pre-processes user content to determine optimal display timing and synchronizes it with video playback beforehand. This approach ensures that relevant user-created content is displayed at appropriate moments without requiring complex real-time processing during video playback.
3Loss of information
If filtering is applied to remove duplicate user-created content, then information quality is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses metadata copying and comparison to identify and filter duplicate user-created content. Instead of performing complex full-content analysis, the system compares metadata attributes (such as upload time, content type, and other identifying features) to quickly detect duplicates. This metadata-based copying approach maintains high information quality by filtering redundant content while minimizing processing time through efficient attribute comparison.

AI summary
The disclosure relates to a method for displaying user-created content in video content and a service server using the same, and method of displaying user-created content (UCC) in video content provided by a service server according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include receiving user-created content uploaded in connection with the video content; designating an exposure time of the user-created content among the running time of the video content, based on the upload time of the user-created content and the meta information of the user-created content; and displaying the user-created content on a control layer corresponding to the video content when the exposure time is reached during playback of the video content.
