Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual event solutions lack the ability to organize events in a logical and seamless manner, requiring high human intervention and failing to replicate the realism and interaction of real-life events, leading to user disengagement.
Innovation Solution
A system with a server computer system and event flow management module that sets up virtual event sessions, applies event flow rules to user media streams, and triggers real-time actions to manage event flow, using teleconferencing equipment and user graphical representations created from camera feeds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If existing virtual event solutions are used, then real-time communication is enabled, but the events lack logical organization and require high human intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service automation where the event flow management module automatically manages event organization based on predefined rules and workflows. The system autonomously handles participant coordination, media stream management, and event progression without requiring continuous human intervention, thereby achieving both high automation and reliable event flow control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical control of event organization with an automated digital system. The event flow management module uses software-based rule engines and automated workflows to substitute human-operated mechanical coordination, enabling consistent and reliable event management through computational logic rather than human intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing virtual event solutions are used, then remote event participation is enabled, but realism and user engagement are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts the virtual event experience by automatically adjusting media stream presentation, participant visibility, and interaction opportunities based on real-time event flow conditions. This dynamic adaptation maintains high user engagement and realism by responding automatically to event progression, participant actions, and contextual conditions without requiring manual intervention.
3Productivity
If manual event management is used, then human control is maintained, but automation and efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments event management into distinct automated modules including participant management, media stream handling, event flow coordination, and interaction management. Each module operates independently with defined responsibilities, enabling efficient automated event management while keeping individual component complexity manageable through modular architecture.

AI summary
A method enabling digital automation of virtual events comprises providing a virtual environment enabling interactions between users represented by user graphical representations created from media feeds received from corresponding user cameras; responsive to a session request received from at least one client device, setting up a virtual event session between at least two users; obtaining an event flow rule set comprising a plurality of rules, the rule set determining an event flow sequence comprising presentation of media streams of the users in the virtual event session; applying the event flow rule set to the media streams of the users in the virtual event session; and, responsive to the application of the event flow rule set to the media streams, triggering an event flow action in real time in the virtual event session, wherein the triggered event flow action comprises modifying presentation of a media stream in the virtual event session.
