Virtual Container Interaction for Shared Livestream Browsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing livestreaming platforms experience tipping imbalances, where a small number of top tippers contribute a large share of tips, leading to low interaction and activity among ordinary viewers, resulting in a passive atmosphere in broadcast rooms.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that creates virtual containers managed by top tipping viewers, allowing ordinary viewers to bind to the same browsing target as the top tippers, enabling simultaneous access to the same online content and interactive experiences, thereby enhancing viewer engagement and interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If tipping-based interaction model is used in livestreaming, then top tippers can obtain privileged interaction with models, but ordinary viewers cannot actively participate due to low tipping amounts
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple ordinary viewers are merged into a single virtual container (e.g., virtual yacht) that acts as a unified entity. The container's captain (top tipper) provides tips on behalf of all members, allowing ordinary viewers to participate in interactions without individually tipping. This combining approach enables mass participation while maintaining tip concentration.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual container serves as an intermediary between ordinary viewers and the model. Instead of individual viewers directly tipping, the container as a collective entity interacts with the model through its captain. This intermediary structure allows ordinary viewers to gain interaction access without direct financial burden.
2Productivity
If individual tipping is required for interaction, then models receive direct rewards from tippers, but overall viewer activity and atmosphere in broadcast rooms remain low
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple viewers are combined into a single virtual container that collectively interacts with the model. This merging allows the group to achieve higher interaction levels and atmosphere than individual viewers could alone, while making participation accessible to viewers with limited tipping capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments viewers into different roles within containers: captains who manage the container and provide tips, and ordinary members who participate without direct tipping. This segmentation allows differentiated participation levels while maintaining overall group activity.
3Reliability
If top tippers interact individually with models, then privileged interaction is achieved, but ordinary viewers feel excluded and passive
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple ordinary viewers are merged into a virtual container that collectively interacts with the model, increasing the number of viewers who can participate simultaneously. The container maintains reliable interaction quality through its captain who manages the interaction on behalf of all members.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual container serves multiple functions: it enables ordinary viewers to participate without individual tipping, provides a unified interaction channel with the model, and maintains interaction quality through the captain's privileged access. This multi-functionality resolves the conflict between interaction quality and participant quantity.

AI summary
An interactive method is disclosed. The interactive method includes forming, via a system, one or more virtual containers, wherein the one or more virtual containers are managed by at least one of a first terminal associated with a first user or a service provider. Managing the virtual containers includes managing a browsing target that includes a target website for browsing online entertainment content. The interactive method also includes appending, via the system, a virtual user identity of a second terminal associated with a second user to the one or more virtual containers, and in response to an interactive operation of the second terminal on the one or more virtual containers, configuring, via the system, the second terminal to bind to the browsing target, which is the same browsing target as the first terminal.
