Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video-based check-in methods lack authenticity as users can perform check-ins without actually watching the video, leading to unreliable user responses.

Innovation Solution

A method where a terminal collects multimedia data and time information from a currently played video, sends it to a server, and receives a check-in manner only if the user is determined to be watching the video, ensuring check-in is based on actual video watching.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the terminal allows check-in anytime and anywhere without verifying video watching, then the ease of operation is improved, but the authenticity of check-in data deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of check-in operationVSAvoidauthenticity of check-in data
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification by collecting multimedia data and time information before allowing check-in. The terminal captures video content and timing data in advance, then transmits it to the server for verification before enabling the check-in process, ensuring users actually watched the video.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The server provides feedback by receiving multimedia data and time information from the terminal, verifying whether the user actually watched the video, and only then allowing check-in to be completed. This feedback mechanism ensures authenticity while maintaining user-friendly operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the system verifies video watching through multimedia data collection, then the authenticity of check-in data is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthenticity of check-in dataVSAvoidcomplexity of check-in system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary that receives multimedia data and time information from the terminal, performs verification, and controls whether check-in is allowed. This intermediary approach distributes complexity between client and server, keeping the terminal design relatively simple while enabling authentic verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If the terminal collects multimedia data and time information before check-in, then the reliability of user response is improved, but the loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of user responseVSAvoidtime for data collection and verification
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs data collection and verification in advance before the check-in action is allowed. By capturing multimedia data and time information beforehand and verifying it through the server, the system ensures reliable user responses while the time loss is minimized through efficient processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
