Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional sentiment measurement systems fail to ensure that video content is being viewed by users, as they do not require active engagement during the viewing process, leading to unreliable feedback.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that displays video content within a graphical user interface featuring a play button and sentiment measurement sliders, where users must hold the play button to view the video and indicate sentiment by sliding, ensuring active engagement and recording sentiment values with timestamps, along with optional facial expression analysis and comment input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional slider user interface elements are used for sentiment measurement, then the system is simple to operate, but the system cannot ensure the video is being viewed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo viewing verificationVSAvoiduser interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the play button functionality with the sentiment measurement slider into a single integrated user interface element. The play button serves dual purposes: controlling video playback and indicating sentiment through its vertical position, thereby ensuring video viewing verification while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The play button is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it controls video playback (play/pause) and measures user sentiment (through vertical positioning). This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by ensuring reliable video viewing verification without requiring separate complex controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If users can provide sentiment feedback without active engagement, then the system is easy to operate, but the feedback reliability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesentiment feedback reliabilityVSAvoiduser interaction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges video playback control and sentiment measurement into a single interactive element. Users naturally engage with the play button to control video playback, and this same interaction simultaneously captures their sentiment, ensuring feedback reliability without adding operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system captures sentiment feedback automatically during natural video playback interactions. Users provide sentiment data as a byproduct of controlling video playback, eliminating the need for separate feedback actions and maintaining ease of operation while improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If multiple sentiment measurement elements are combined with the play button, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesentiment measurement precisionVSAvoiduser interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends the traditional horizontal slider to a two-dimensional play button that can be positioned both horizontally (for playback control) and vertically (for sentiment measurement). This dimensional expansion enables multiple sentiment measurements without requiring separate controls, maintaining interface simplicity while improving measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
