Video Distribution System Actor Workload Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video distribution systems face challenges in increasing viewer engagement and communication between actors and viewers, as actors must provide motions and voiceovers while reacting to gifts, making it difficult to maintain interaction with multiple users.
Innovation Solution
A video distribution system that includes computer processors, storage for user objects, and display devices visible to actors, allowing for real-time display of user-requested objects and messages, enhancing interaction and engagement by facilitating the selection and display of gifts and messages within the video.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the actor provides motions and voiceovers while reacting to gift objects to increase communication with viewing users, then the chances for communication between the actor and viewing users increase, but the actor's workload and difficulty in maintaining interaction increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a display device positioned between the actor and the virtual space, serving as an intermediary that presents notification information about gift objects and viewing user interactions. This allows the actor to respond to multiple users without directly tracking each interaction in real-time, reducing cognitive load while maintaining communication quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by displaying notification information about viewing users' actions (such as gift giving) to the actor through the display device. This feedback mechanism enables the actor to respond appropriately to user interactions without having to actively monitor all system states, thus reducing workload while preserving adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system displays all user interactions and gift objects to the actor in real-time, then the communication quality improves, but the information overload and difficulty in managing multiple interactions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential notification information from the complete set of user interactions and presents it to the actor through the display device. This selective extraction allows the actor to focus on relevant communication opportunities without being overwhelmed by all system events, maintaining communication quality while reducing information management burden.
3Productivity
If the actor pays additional attention to increase communication chances with viewing users, then the interaction frequency increases, but the actor's ability to provide motions and voiceovers deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing user interactions and preparing notification information before presenting it to the actor. This allows the actor to respond to interactions with minimal attention allocation, maintaining both interaction frequency and performance quality without the need to actively monitor all system states.

AI summary
A video distribution system distributes a video including animation of a character object generated based on a motion of an actor to client devices used by a plurality of viewing users. The video distribution system includes: one or more computer processors; a storage that stores objects associated with each of the plurality of viewing users; and a display device seeable by the actor. The one or more computer processors execute computer-readable instructions to: receive a display request for any of the objects from a first viewing user among the plurality of viewing users; and display object information on the display device, the object information including information on the object corresponding to the display request in association with identification information of the first viewing user.
