Solution Overview

Problem

Existing streaming intelligence systems fail to effectively integrate metadata from live stream videos with user data from social media accounts to generate personalized and interactive video streams.

Innovation Solution

A method that analyzes metadata from live stream videos and user data from social media accounts to generate a hierarchy of additional content, which is then displayed concurrently with the video stream on a user device, allowing users to interact and select additional content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If streaming intelligence systems integrate metadata from live stream videos with user data from social media accounts, then user engagement and personalization are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the video stream into multiple segments and processes metadata from each segment separately. It also segments user data from social media accounts and matches it with video segments. This segmentation allows complex integration to be broken down into manageable steps, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining personalization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent embeds multiple levels of data processing within each other: video metadata is nested with social media user data, which is then nested with streaming intelligence data. This nested structure allows the system to handle complex integration by organizing data in hierarchical layers, making the complexity manageable and the personalization effective.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Productivity

If the system generates and displays a hierarchy of additional content concurrently with the video stream, then user engagement is enhanced, but display complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoiddisplay complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system adds a hierarchical dimension to the traditional video display. Instead of only showing the video stream, it creates multiple levels of content (primary video, secondary additional content, tertiary related content) that can be displayed concurrently. This dimensional expansion enhances user engagement by providing richer content layers without overwhelming the display, as each layer can be independently managed and rendered.

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

AI summary

A customized video stream is provided. A second content is searched for that includes the plurality of entities, and a plurality of user data associated with the social media account. A hierarchy of additional content is generated based, at least in part, on the second content that is associated with the plurality of entities, and the user data associated with the social media account, wherein the hierarchy of additional content contains a plurality of second content. A customized video stream is generated based, at least in part, on the video stream and the hierarchy of additional content. The customized video stream is populated on a display screen of the user device, wherein the video stream is displayed on the display screen of the user device, and the hierarchy of additional content is displayed in a portion of the display screen and displayed concurrently with the video stream.
