Virtual Processing Server for Content Liveliness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Content delivery services face challenges in generating comments for unpopular or newly started programs, as existing technologies struggle to collect comments and generate pseudo comments without a concept of related videos, leading to low viewer engagement and motivation for content distributors.
Innovation Solution
A virtual processing server system that includes a content delivery server, a comment delivery server, and a virtual processing server, which determines and satisfies specific conditions to execute virtual access and comment posting, enhancing content liveliness by adding rarity value and motivating distributors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If pseudo comments are generated based on posted comments from related videos, then viewer engagement is improved for video delivery services, but this approach cannot be applied to content delivery services without a related video concept
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the comment generation process into two distinct modes: (1) generating pseudo comments based on posted comments from related content when available, and (2) generating pseudo comments based on predetermined templates when no related content exists. This segmentation allows the system to adapt to different service types (video delivery vs. content delivery) while maintaining the core function of improving viewer engagement through pseudo comment generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of comment generation source based on service type. For video delivery services, it uses posted comments from related videos as the basis. For content delivery services without related video concepts, it switches to using predetermined templates as the basis. This parameter change enables the same pseudo comment generation mechanism to be universally applicable across different service types.
2Ease of operation
If comment posting function is provided for newly started or unpopular programs, then viewer participation is encouraged, but the small number of initial comments fails to motivate viewers to post
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by generating pseudo comments in advance before actual viewer comments are posted. These pseudo comments are created based on predetermined templates that reflect typical viewer reactions. By having comments already present in the system, new viewers perceive the program as more engaging and are more likely to participate in commenting, thus breaking the vicious cycle of low comment count.
Solution Approach 2:
Pseudo comments act as an intermediary between the system and actual viewer comments. They serve as a bridge that initiates the comment ecosystem by providing initial content that viewers can react to. The pseudo comments create a foundation that encourages real viewers to post their own comments, gradually transitioning from artificial to organic engagement.
3Reliability
If viewers watch content with small number of comments, then they miss out on shared viewing experience, but this reduces motivation to continue watching and posting comments
Solution Approach 1:
The system converts the harmful effect of small comment numbers into a benefit by using predetermined templates to generate pseudo comments. Instead of letting the small comment count deter viewers, the system uses the same condition (small comment count) as a trigger to activate pseudo comment generation. This transforms the problem of low engagement into the solution of initiating engagement through templates.

AI summary
The present invention provides: a virtual processing server with which comments are randomly posted to the content which has a small number of viewers and comment posts, thereby liven up the content, a control method for a virtual processing server, a content delivery system, and an application program for a terminal device.A virtual processing server 3 in the content delivery system is provided with: a content delivery server 1 which provides a content delivery service to a terminal device 5; a comment delivery server 2 which delivers a comment posted to a content; and a virtual processing server 3 which virtually executes processing to the content, wherein the server accesses to the content, and is provided with: an execution control unit 31 which virtually executes processing; and a first condition determination unit 31 which determines a predetermined first condition for executing the access, wherein the execution control unit 31 executes the access to the content when it is determined that the predetermined first condition has been satisfied.
