Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional video distribution systems face issues with displaying gifts from viewer users in a co-performing video in an orderly manner, leading to cluttered views and compromised video quality when multiple distributor users appear together.

Innovation Solution

A video distribution system that includes computer processors to manage the display of gifts by using display instruction objects on user devices, allowing gifts to be displayed in association with character objects only upon user operation, and ensuring that gifts are shown in a controlled and organized fashion, with options to specify which user receives gifts and managing display instructions to prevent clutter.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If gifts are displayed for each distributor user in a co-performing video, then the number of gifts received increases, but the video view becomes cluttered and video quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of gifts receivedVSAvoidvideo clutter
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the gift display functionality for multiple distributor users into a single unified display location within the co-performing video. Instead of displaying gifts separately for each user which causes clutter, the system consolidates all gift displays to appear in one organized area, allowing multiple gifts to be received while maintaining video quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If gifts are automatically displayed in response to purchase, then the gift display process is simplified, but the video view becomes cluttered with gifts provided to each distributor user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegift display processVSAvoidvideo clutter
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system maintains the automatic display mechanism for gift purchases but merges all gift display operations into a single unified display location. This consolidation ensures that even though gifts are automatically displayed for multiple users, they all appear in one organized area rather than scattered throughout the video, preventing clutter while preserving the ease of automatic display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple distributor users appear together in a video, then the co-performing video feature is enabled, but the number of gifts received becomes larger causing display management issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveco-performing video featureVSAvoidgift display management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a unified gift display management system that consolidates gift display operations for all distributor users in a co-performing video into a single management interface and display location. This merging approach enables the versatile co-performing feature while simplifying gift display management, as the system handles all gifts through one centralized process rather than requiring separate management for each user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

One embodiment of the invention includes one or more computer processors executing computer-readable instructions to: distribute a co-performing video including a first character object generated based on motions of a first user and a second character object generated based on motions of a second user; in response to reception of a first display request for a first gift from a viewer user viewing the co-performing video, display a display instruction object on at least one of a first user device used by the first user and a second user device used by the second user; and in response to an operation on the display instruction object, display the first gift in association with at least one of the first character object and the second character object in the co-performing video.
