Video Integrator for Real-Time Interactive Activity Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies face limitations in enabling effective real-time collaboration and interaction between multiple individuals over a telecommunications network, particularly in activities like document revision and gaming, where simultaneous visual and audio feedback are not seamlessly integrated.
Innovation Solution
A device comprising a video accessor and video integrator that integrates video streams from multiple locations over a network, allowing entities to engage in interactive activities while viewing each other's images and audio components in real-time, using devices capable of communication, such as mobile devices or laptops, with optional components like cameras and displays for synchronized interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If video streams from multiple locations are integrated over a network, then real-time visual and audio feedback is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines video accessing, video integration, and interactive activity coordination into a unified system. The video integrator merges video streams from multiple locations and synchronizes them with interactive activity data, creating an integrated remote collaboration experience that resolves the contradiction by consolidating multiple functions into a cohesive system.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed to perform multiple functions: accessing video streams, integrating multiple video feeds, synchronizing with interactive activities, and enabling real-time communication. This multi-functional approach allows a single system to handle various collaboration scenarios (document revision, gaming, etc.) without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.
2Reliability
If video and audio components are synchronized in real-time, then collaboration effectiveness improves, but loss of time increases due to integration processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing video stream connections and preparing synchronization mechanisms before interactive activities begin. Video accessors and the video integrator are ready to receive and process streams immediately when needed, reducing actual processing delays during time-critical collaboration moments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent maintains continuous video stream processing and synchronization throughout the interactive activity duration. Rather than intermittent processing that would cause delays, the system continuously integrates video feeds and synchronizes them with activity data, ensuring real-time collaboration effectiveness without periodic interruptions or processing gaps.

AI summary
A method for sending a video ringtone. The method includes: integrating a received first video of a first location with an interactive activity, wherein the interactive activity includes an activity in which a first entity at the first location and a second entity at a second location are engaged over a telecommunications network, wherein the integrating the received first video of the first location with the interactive activity achieves an integrated interactive activity.
