Video Sentiment Playback Control for Reliable Viewer Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional sentiment measurement systems fail to ensure that video content is being viewed during user feedback, as they do not require active engagement from the viewer.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where users must hold a play button to view a video, allowing sentiment measurement through a vertical slider gesture, with optional facial recognition and audio-to-text analysis, and enabling comments during playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional slider user interface elements are used for sentiment measurement, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the system cannot ensure the video is being viewed leading to unreliable sentiment data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the video playback control (play button) with the sentiment measurement interface into a single integrated control mechanism. The play button serves dual functions: controlling video playback and serving as the sentiment measurement interface, where holding the button indicates positive sentiment and releasing indicates negative sentiment. This merging eliminates the need for separate playback controls and sentiment sliders, ensuring video viewing is required for sentiment data collection while maintaining simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The play button is designed as a multi-functional element that simultaneously controls video playback and measures user sentiment. The same button that starts and pauses video also serves as the sentiment indicator through its press state (held vs. released). This universal design reduces the number of interface elements needed while ensuring that sentiment measurement only occurs when the user is actively engaged with the video content.
2Measurement precision
If users can provide sentiment feedback without actively viewing the video, then the ease of operation is high, but the measurement precision of sentiment data deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system requires users to perform the preliminary action of holding the play button to both play the video and register positive sentiment simultaneously. The sentiment measurement is tied to the playback control action, ensuring that sentiment data is only collected when the user is actively engaged with the video content. This preliminary engagement requirement ensures measurement precision without adding separate complex interaction steps.
3Reliability
If the sentiment measurement interface is combined with the play button, then the reliability of video viewing is ensured, but the ease of operation decreases due to combined controls
Solution Approach 1:
The play button and sentiment measurement interface are merged into a single control element. The button's press state (held down vs. released) serves as the sentiment indicator, eliminating the need for separate playback controls and sentiment sliders. This integration ensures that sentiment data is only collected when the user is actively engaged with the video while maintaining operational simplicity through familiar play/pause functionality.
