Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional live broadcasting systems lack effective control over imaging devices during streaming, particularly in adult entertainment applications, limiting interaction and immersion for viewers.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for controlling imaging devices using viewer inputs, such as tips, to dynamically adjust camera functions in real-time or near real-time, incorporating actuators and modules for precise control of camera positioning and accessory operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If static imaging devices are used in conventional broadcasting systems, then device simplicity is maintained, but viewer interaction capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device transitions from static to dynamic control, allowing real-time adjustment of camera functions based on viewer inputs. The control module receives input signals from viewer devices and dynamically modifies imaging parameters such as focus, zoom, and exposure, enabling interactive control during live broadcasts.
Solution Approach 2:
A control module is introduced as an intermediary component between viewer devices and the imaging device. This control module processes input signals from viewers and translates them into control commands for the imaging device, enabling indirect control while maintaining system manageability.
2Ease of operation
If real-time control of imaging devices is implemented, then viewer interaction is enhanced, but system response time may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The control system maintains continuous operation by processing input signals in real-time without interruption. The control module continuously monitors viewer inputs and adjusts imaging device parameters on-the-fly, ensuring seamless control experience with minimal perceived delay.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where viewer inputs are processed and translated into immediate control actions. The control module provides real-time feedback by adjusting imaging parameters based on current viewer signals, creating an interactive loop that minimizes response time.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple imaging functions are controlled remotely, then viewer immersion is improved, but control system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control module is designed with multi-functionality, capable of handling various control signals for different imaging functions through a unified architecture. A single control module can process diverse input types and control multiple imaging parameters, reducing the need for separate control systems for each function.

AI summary
A system has an imaging device configured to obtain broadcast content of a streamer, one or more viewer devices configured to directly or indirectly control the imaging device, a streamer device configured to stream the broadcast content to the one or more viewer devices, and a control module associated with the imaging device. The imaging device, the one or more viewer devices, the streamer device, and the control module are configured to receive one or more input data from the one or more viewer devices, convert the one or more input data into one or more control instructions, and in response to the one or more control instructions, use the control module to control the imaging device to perform one or more imaging functions.
