Video Terminal Timestamping for Gifting Event Replay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video distribution services lack efficient mechanisms for users to easily identify and replay specific moments within videos, particularly when gifts or social tipping is performed, as existing systems do not effectively handle user inputs for timestamping and playing back gifting events.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a server and terminal communicate to receive and transmit information based on user inputs, allowing the terminal to display and play back specific parts of a video corresponding to gifting events by generating and managing timestamps and play location information, enabling users to easily revisit and interact with gifting moments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video distribution services transmit gift information such as social tipping to the distributed video, then user interaction with video moments is enhanced, but the system lacks efficient mechanisms for users to easily identify and replay specific moments
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically generating timestamp information and play location data when gifting events occur during video distribution. This pre-processing of moment identification data allows users to easily access and replay specific moments without manual searching, resolving the contradiction between enhanced interaction capability and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of timestamp information and play location data that mediates between the gifting event and the video playback system. This intermediary layer enables efficient moment identification and replay by providing structured access points, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining versatile user interaction.
2Ease of operation
If the system generates and manages timestamps and play location information for gifting events, then users can easily replay specific moments, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by automatically generating timestamp information and play location data without requiring manual intervention. The terminal or server autonomously processes gifting events, extracts relevant video moment information, and creates the necessary playback control data, thereby improving ease of operation while minimizing the increase in system complexity through automation rather than manual procedures.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal displays and processes user inputs for gifting events, then user engagement is enhanced, but the processing load and communication data increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by isolating and transmitting only the essential information related to gifting events (timestamp information and play location data) rather than transmitting entire video segments or redundant data. This selective extraction maintains enhanced user engagement capability while minimizing the quantity of communication data by sending only the necessary playback control information.

AI summary
An information processing method of a terminal configured to display a video distributed from a server, the method including: receiving, by a communication section of the terminal, the video distributed from the server; displaying on a display section of the terminal the video that is distributed; acquiring, by a control section of the terminal, first information based on a first input performed by a user of the terminal on the display section displaying the video; acquiring, by the control section, second information related to the video based on the first information; displaying the second information on the display section; and performing, by the control section, a control of playing on the display section a part corresponding to the first input in the video, based on an input for the second information performed by the user of the terminal.
