Unified Share List Management for Multipoint Video Streaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current online video and live streaming platforms require users to subscribe to multiple channels for multipoint-to-multipoint video sharing, leading to cumbersome management of sharer lists and lack of instant notifications for new video content.
Innovation Solution
A data sharing system comprising a first sharer terminal, receiver terminals, and a service server, which includes modules for identity verification, list management, data storage, and notification, enabling the creation, modification, and deletion of share lists, as well as providing a share function list and executing share functions, allowing users to manage and share content across multiple sharers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If subscribers subscribe to multiple channels to receive video content from multiple streamers, then they can access more video content, but the management of subscription lists becomes cumbersome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a share list as an intermediary mechanism that mediates between streamers and subscribers. Instead of direct channel subscriptions, streamers can add subscribers to their share lists, and subscribers can view shared videos from multiple streamers through a unified share list interface. This intermediary share list management system resolves the complexity of managing multiple channel subscriptions while maintaining access to diverse video content.
2Reliability
If subscribers subscribe to all streamer channels to receive instant notifications, then they can receive complete video sharing notifications, but the subscription management becomes increasingly difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual channel subscriptions into a single unified share list. Instead of managing separate subscriptions to each streamer's channel, the system combines all share relationships into one centralized share list that can be managed through a single interface. This merging approach maintains complete notification coverage while dramatically simplifying the operational burden of managing subscriptions across multiple channels.
3Ease of operation
If the system allows flexible share list management, then user experience improves, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service functionality where streamers automatically manage their own share lists by adding or removing subscribers directly. The system provides automated notification mechanisms that operate without requiring complex centralized management. This self-service approach enables flexible share list management for users while reducing the overall system complexity by distributing management responsibilities to individual users rather than requiring complex centralized control mechanisms.
Data Source
AI summary
A data sharing system includes a first sharer terminal, a receiver terminal and a service server. The service server is configured to receive a first sharer identity data, a first sharing command and a identity verification which is one of a share characteristic and a first shared data from the first sharer terminal. The service server, according to the first sharer identity data, the first sharing command and a share request, adds a new share list, or saves, modifies, or deletes at least one share list saved in a list storage module.
