Solution Overview

Problem

Current live streaming platforms lack effective methods to present user comments intuitively for live streaming content with adversarial nature, such as sporting events, leading to a poor viewing experience due to inadequate display of support for multiple parties.

Innovation Solution

Implementing leading trending comments that are preconfigured based on the live streaming content, displayed when a threshold number of matching user comments is reached, with dynamic effects to guide and enhance the presentation of user comments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If user comments are displayed in a conventional manner, then the display is simple, but the viewing experience is poor and the atmosphere is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing experience qualityVSAvoidcomment display system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments user comments into different categories (leading comments, trending comments, ordinary comments) and displays them in distinct regions with different visual styles. This segmentation allows the system to enhance viewing experience through differentiated presentation while managing complexity by organizing comments into manageable categories with specific display rules for each type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic display effects including animations, color changes, and positioning adjustments based on comment frequency and timing. Leading comments and trending comments exhibit dynamic visual effects that change over time, creating an engaging atmosphere while the system dynamically adapts to real-time comment patterns without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If multiple types of comments are displayed simultaneously, then the atmosphere is enhanced, but the display becomes cluttered and hard to read

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatmosphere qualityVSAvoidcomment readability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different visual qualities to different comment types based on their location and importance. Leading comments displayed in the first region receive prominent positioning and distinctive styling, while trending comments in the second region have slightly different visual treatment. Ordinary comments in the third region use standard formatting. This local differentiation enhances atmosphere while maintaining readability through consistent visual hierarchy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes spatial dimensionality by dividing the display area into multiple regions (first region for leading comments, second region for trending comments, third region for ordinary comments). This dimensional organization allows multiple comment types to coexist without clutter by assigning each type a specific spatial zone with appropriate visual weight and positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Reliability

If leading trending comments are highlighted with dynamic effects, then the viewing experience is enhanced, but the energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing experience qualityVSAvoiddisplay energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic dynamic effects for leading and trending comments rather than continuous animation. Visual effects such as pulsing, color cycling, or position changes occur at intervals or in response to specific triggers (new comments, threshold crossings), reducing energy consumption while maintaining engaging visual presentation during key moments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamic effects selectively to only the most important comments (leading and trending) rather than all comments uniformly. This partial application of visual enhancement focuses energy consumption on high-impact elements that most contribute to atmosphere and viewing experience, while ordinary comments receive minimal or no dynamic effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, devices and a storage medium for live streaming. The method includes determining whether the number of user comments received in a live steaming room reaches a threshold number, the user comments matching at least one preconfigured leading trending comment; and in response to the number of the matching user comments reaching the threshold number, presenting the at least one leading trending comment at a predetermined location on a user interface of the live streaming room. By pre-configuring at least one leading trending comment and presenting it when the user comment matches it, useful guidance can be provided to the user during live streaming, thereby improving the atmosphere of the live streaming room and enhancing the user experience.
