Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack an efficient method for users to define tasks for multimedia data capture, which affects the accuracy, reliability, and availability of multimedia content, particularly in terms of location, time, and ownership, limiting the options for potential buyers.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that allows users to define tasks for requesting multimedia data with specific criteria, including location, time, and ownership, which are maintained by an operator and made available to third users, with payment structures for service and submission prices, utilizing a communication interface, processor, and memory to manage and transmit multimedia data based on these criteria.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users can define tasks with specific criteria for multimedia data, then the accuracy and reliability of multimedia content is improved, but the device complexity and system structure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of multimedia dataVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an operator as an intermediary who maintains the defined tasks and multimedia data. The operator acts as a mediator between users who define tasks and users who provide or request multimedia data, managing the criteria-based matching and validation process. This intermediary structure enables reliable task-based multimedia data provision without requiring direct complex interactions between all system components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If task-based criteria are enforced for multimedia data, then the manufacturing precision of multimedia content is improved, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of multimedia contentVSAvoidease of use
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to autonomously define task criteria and submit multimedia data according to self-selected parameters. Users independently create tasks with their specific requirements and submit data that matches their own criteria, reducing the need for complex centralized management while maintaining precision through user-defined standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If a marketplace ecosystem is created for multimedia data, then the availability and versatility of multimedia content is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavailability of multimedia dataVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The operator performs multiple functions within the system: maintaining defined tasks, validating submitted multimedia data against criteria, managing user interactions, and facilitating data distribution. This multi-functional role enables a versatile marketplace ecosystem without requiring separate specialized components for each function, thereby improving availability while controlling system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
