Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional social media platforms require users to switch between multiple applications to access and comment on content, making communication cumbersome, especially as devices become more sophisticated.

Innovation Solution

A system that integrates a content service and commentary service, allowing users to comment and share comments directly within the content stream, with features like real-time message processing, natural language processing, and context-based output to enhance user interaction and engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users access conventional social media to communicate about content, then communication capability is improved, but operation complexity increases due to switching between multiple applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capabilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines content display and social media communication functions into a single integrated application interface. Users can view content and access commentary features without switching between separate applications, thereby maintaining communication capability while reducing operation complexity through interface integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If the system processes real-time voice comments during video playback, then user engagement is improved, but system resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements selective processing of voice comments rather than processing all audio input. Voice comments are processed only when users actively input them through the interface, allowing the system to maintain user engagement functionality while avoiding continuous resource consumption during passive video playback

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Speed

If the system collects and processes voice information in real-time, then comment processing speed is improved, but noise interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomment processing speedVSAvoidnoise interference
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that captures voice input through a dedicated microphone interface rather than relying on ambient audio during video playback. This intermediary mechanism isolates the voice capture process from video audio output, enabling real-time comment processing speed while filtering out noise interference through dedicated audio input pathways

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Techniques for processing comment information are disclosed herein. The disclosed techniques include collecting first voice information from a user in response to receiving a request for inputting voice information while the user is watching a video comprising a plurality of segments; obtaining a timestamp corresponding to a segment among the plurality of segments of the video; processing the first voice information and obtaining second voice information; and generating bullet screen information based at least in part on the timestamp and the second voice information.
