Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems fail to properly restrict undesirable actions in virtual spaces when a distributor joins as a viewer or during content distribution, leading to inappropriate reflection of restricted actions.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that dynamically adjust action reflection based on the presence of a specific user, allowing restricted actions to be reflected when the user is not present but restricted when they join, using a configuration that updates action histories and reflects or restricts actions accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the system restricts reflection of actions set by a distributor in the virtual space, then the distributor's control over undesirable actions is improved, but the system fails to cover restrictions when the distributor joins as a viewer or during distribution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverestriction effectivenessVSAvoidcoverage of restriction scenarios
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the reflection restriction based on the distributor's presence status. When the distributor is present in the virtual space, the system restricts reflection of their set actions. When the distributor is not present (joined as viewer or during distribution), the system allows reflection. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by making the restriction mechanism adaptable to different operational scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the system reflects all actions received from users, then user interaction freedom is improved, but undesirable actions set by distributors are inappropriately reflected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction freedomVSAvoidinappropriate action reflection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different reflection rules to different actions based on their source and type. Actions set by distributors as undesirable are treated differently from regular user actions. The system selectively restricts only the specific actions marked by distributors while allowing all other user interactions to be reflected normally, thus maintaining user freedom while preventing harmful reflections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If the system requires manual configuration of restricted actions by distributors, then restriction precision is improved, but the time and effort required to set restrictions increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverestriction precisionVSAvoidtime to set restrictions
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables distributors to autonomously configure their own action restrictions without requiring external administrative intervention. distributors can independently set which actions they want to restrict, and the system automatically applies these restrictions when the distributor is present in the virtual space. This self-service mechanism reduces the time and effort required while maintaining precise control over restricted actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

During distribution of any of first modes of content, if it is determined that no SP user is participating in a virtual space of the content, and even if the posted comment includes a NG word set for any SP user, the received comment is reflected in the virtual space. In contrast, during distribution of any of first modes of content, if it is determined that a SP user is participating in a virtual space of the content (including the case where a SP user, who was not participating, is participating there), and if the posted comment includes a NG word set for the SP user who is participating, reflection of the received comment in the virtual space is restricted.
