Video Viewer Engagement Synchronization via Interest Profiling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Websites face challenges in maintaining viewer engagement with video content, as presenting related content or advertisements during video playback can be intrusive and result in decreased exposure, while ending presentations may miss the viewer's attention span.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that analyze user-generated events to identify intervals of changing viewer interest, generating a video profile to synchronize alternative content presentation with moments of low interest, thereby enhancing viewer engagement and reducing intrusion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If related content or advertisements are presented during video playback, then viewer exposure to alternative content increases, but viewer engagement with the original video decreases due to intrusion
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the timing of alternative content presentation based on real-time analysis of viewer engagement metrics. By continuously monitoring viewer behavior and adapting presentation timing accordingly, the system avoids fixed scheduling that may interrupt engaging moments, thus reducing viewer irritation while maintaining exposure opportunities
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where viewer responses to alternative content and engagement with the original video are tracked and used to refine future presentation decisions. This closed-loop approach allows the system to learn from viewer reactions and optimize timing to minimize intrusion while maximizing alternative content exposure
2Object-affected harmful factors
If related content is presented at the end of video, then viewer irritation is reduced, but viewer exposure to alternative content decreases due to early abandonment
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of viewer engagement patterns before determining optimal presentation timing. By pre-identifying likely abandonment points and engagement dips through historical data and real-time monitoring, the system can proactively schedule alternative content presentation to coincide with these periods, ensuring both reduced irritation and maintained exposure
3Quantity of substance
If related content is presented before video starts, then viewer engagement with alternative content increases, but viewer interest in the original video is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically determines presentation timing based on actual viewer engagement with the video rather than using fixed pre-video scheduling. By adapting to each viewer's actual behavior patterns and engagement level, the system avoids premature presentation that would lose viewers before they even start the main content

AI summary
According to certain embodiments of the present invention behavioral patterns are utilized in order to calculate a predicted level of interest of viewers in a specific video item at any given moment throughout the length of the video item. More specifically, according to certain embodiments, this calculation allows to identify instances of peaks of high and low interest throughout the length of the video item. This allows predicting the occurrence of critical moments throughout the video item when it is likely that viewers would abandon the video item on one hand, and moments when viewers are most likely absorbed in the currently presented video, on the other hand. This information allows to capture viewers when their interest in the viewed content is low or decreasing, and to synchronize the presentation of alternative content to these instances.
