Virtual Event Planning System Real-Time Customization
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for virtual event planning lack real-time customization and control of contributors and participants, as well as real-time video streaming capabilities, making them ineffective for live and on-demand virtual event management.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for virtual event planning that includes a processor and memory with computer-executable instructions for generating and customizing virtual events, providing user-controlled interaction between contributors and participants, and enabling real-time video streaming, allowing clients to customize and control aspects such as camera work and special effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional event planning systems are used, then event organization can be accomplished, but real-time customization and control of contributors and participants is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic event templates that allow real-time customization of event structures, contributor roles, and participant interactions. The event flow can be modified during execution through user input, enabling adaptability without requiring complete system redesign.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual event system serves multiple functions including event planning, contributor management, participant coordination, real-time streaming, and interaction facilitation within a single integrated platform, reducing the need for multiple separate systems.
2Reliability
If real-time video streaming is added to virtual event systems, then participant engagement improves, but system complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a virtual production facility as an intermediary layer between event content and participants. This facility handles video streaming, camera work, and special effects through virtualized resources, reducing the complexity of direct hardware management while maintaining streaming reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates virtual copies of production facilities and event environments, allowing multiple participants to access identical or differentiated views through software-based replication rather than physical duplication of hardware resources.
3Ease of operation
If user-controlled interaction features are implemented, then participant engagement increases, but system complexity and control mechanisms increase
Solution Approach 1:
The interaction module enables participants to control their own experience by selecting different camera angles, choosing interaction levels, and customizing their view of event content without requiring complex centralized control mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system divides participant interaction into discrete controllable elements such as individual camera selections, interaction level choices, and contribution types, allowing simple user decisions rather than complex simultaneous controls.
4Adaptability or versatility
If virtual event systems provide real-time control to participants, then accessibility improves, but security and access control requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different access control levels to different participants and content areas individually. Each participant receives customized access rights based on their role and permissions, rather than applying uniform security controls to all users.
Solution Approach 2:
Access control permissions are dynamically adjusted during the event based on participant behavior, contribution levels, and pre-defined roles, allowing flexible security management without static rigid control structures.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for virtual event planning is disclosed. The system comprises a processor and memory that further includes computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to implement a user interface module for generating and/or accessing a virtual event, a virtual production facility for virtually customizing and displaying the contribution of one or more contributors and/or participants of the virtual event, and an interaction module for providing user controlled interaction between the one or more contributors and/or participants.
