Solution Overview

Problem

In 3D and 3D+ media consumption experiences, there are challenges in understanding and enhancing content consumption, determining user reactions, and developing media to achieve desired user reactions.

Innovation Solution

Systems and methods for transition-coded media that involve obtaining and analyzing media files to set up a dynamic media environment, tracking user interactions, and executing media elements with dynamic media environments to enhance engagement and user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If transition-coded media with dynamic media environment is implemented, then user engagement and content consumption understanding are improved, but device complexity and system requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser reaction understandingVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a media environment setup component that acts as an intermediary between the media file and the user device. This component translates transition codes in the media into actionable environmental changes, allowing the system to capture user reactions without requiring complex modifications to every user device. The intermediary handles the complexity centrally while keeping individual devices relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the media delivery process into distinct components: the media file with transition codes, the media environment setup instructions, and the execution environment. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the media file maintains its content while adding minimal transition markers, the environment setup handles the complex translation logic, and user devices simply execute predefined environmental configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If dynamic media environment execution is implemented, then user-specific experiences and engagement metrics are enhanced, but processing requirements and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent consumption effectivenessVSAvoidprocessing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining media environments and their configurations before media playback. The system prepares multiple environmental states in advance based on transition codes embedded in the media file, so that during playback, the system only needs to switch between pre-configured environments rather than computing complex transformations in real-time. This significantly reduces processing energy requirements during actual media consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If user interaction detection and tracking are implemented, then engagement measurement and feedback mechanisms are improved, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagement measurementVSAvoiddetection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where user interactions with transition-coded media are detected and used to adjust media environment execution. The system monitors user responses (such as pausing, seeking, or interacting with media elements) and uses this feedback to modify environmental parameters or trigger alternative transition paths. This creates a closed-loop system that improves engagement measurement precision while keeping detection complexity manageable through focused monitoring of key interaction points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for transition-coded media, measuring engagement of transition-coded media, and distribution of components of transition-coded media. For instance, the method may include: obtaining a media file; determining whether the media file includes transition-coded media; in response to determining the media file includes the transition-coded media, setting up a dynamic media environment; detecting whether a user is interacting with the transition-coded media; and in response to detecting the user is interacting with the transition-coded media, executing the transition-coded media with the dynamic media environment.
