The present invention relates to a device, preferably but not necessarily exclusively for digitalization of an act of money spraying to drive live monetization and live payments for live and online entertainment and event services and contents. The invention further relates to a method of operating said device, as well as to a method of live video streaming providing magnified live feedback. A system for enabling said method is also provided within the scope of the present invention.

Online has becoming the new ecosystem and space for living due to coronavirus and this disruption has made us to see that existing live video streaming platforms run best as spaces for hooking up with ourselves for discussions and viewing. Perhaps they were all modelled for just creating digital clusters to drive advertisement needs of brands, that is why advertisement still remains the main means of revenue generation for most of the existing platforms. Therefore, the best way they could serve the entertainment and other live event industry presently is broadcasting it, because they lack some technology, applications or features necessary to drive typical entertainment-event business live transactions.

It is serious how the monetization (subscription & ads insertion) models of existing platforms failed to serve the live event industry in monetizing their contents during the pandemic restrictions and how no existing platforms could readily help entertainers and many users who were restricted from holding public live shows to monetize their content remotely even though they could continue to produce live contents right from their homes but with no readily available means of monetizing their works. Therefore, many artists manually placed their bank details on the screen of existing platforms at the kindness or mercy of consumers consuming their content without having control over such consumption and monetization of their services. This could mean loss of income and business to any entertainers and anyone using those platforms and which really resulted to income losses to lot of people during the heat of the COVID-19.

Likewise Artistic online-performance is not new - but until now, the practice has not been a significant alternative to replicate many senses of “liveness” and interactions as found during live party events. Fans interaction is a vital part of artistic performances if one wants to keep people interested and coming back. The more ways you can get fans involved in the show, the happier they will be. With advancements in technology, online fans desire for artist interaction is on the increase.

Perhaps the most common and easy means of live-online-interaction is live streaming video captured by an Artist who just feel to share any live content using the front camera of a smartphone and at such moment can simultaneously respond to connected viewer’s comments on the content during the streaming, Unfortunately, with existing live video production methods for a serious and high quality live video streaming production such as for concerts, artists are set-up to be fully engrossed in the production processes and therefore left with no provision to interact live with any online fans connected to them while they are on stage but can only communicate back or attend to comments dropped by fans any time after the live streaming production. The present invention seeks to provide a means of facilitating and improving the live-online interaction, and replicate live vibes for all participants.

According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a device for digitalization of an act of money spraying to drive live monetization and live payments for live and online entertainment and event services and contents, comprising: a transaction trigger input; a display screen configured to display a transactional value to be authorised by the user during an act of money spraying; a memory storage element for storing at least a currency type and currency amount which contribute to the said transactional value; a wireless communications means communicable with third-party devices; a user identification authorisation mechanism configured to generate a one-time passcode for an e-wallet associated with the device; and a processor configured to validate a transfer of the said transactional value from the e-wallet to a third-party upon activation of the transaction trigger input.

The provision of a single device for performing pre-programmed money spraying actions, whilst also providing user security via a one-time passcode, ensures that money-spraying can be performed at a live event, or remote thereto, whilst creating live vibes which can be easily displayed to the content producer. For instance, an ideogram could be provided which expresses or animates the concept of money-spraying, and which can be displayed to the consumers and/or content producer. Whilst a transaction during money spraying will occur from a user’s e-wallet to a content provider’s e-wallet preferably via a live video streaming application, the present device allows for remote validation of the transaction to simplify the action for the user in a safe and secure manner.

Figure 6 shows an annotated perspective representation of the device of Figure 1 ;

Figure 8 shows the system architecture for conventional (existing) live video streaming production within the state of the art;

Figure 9 shows the system architecture for the live video streaming production method in accordance with the present invention; and

Figure 10 shows a system for implementing the live video streaming production method in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to Figure 1 , there is indicated a hardware device, indicated globally at 10, and which is colloquially referred to as an impress device in the rest of this document. The Impress device 10 is a wirelessly- communicable, or disconnected, device from which a systematically secure communication and instruction can be wirelessly and remotely selected by a user.

One embodiment of this invention is the use of an ideogram (ideogram: a character symbolizing the idea of a thing without indicating the sounds to say it) to symbolize and drive the act of transferring of money in exchange for goods and services. An indicative indicator region 12 of the device 10 is illustrated, which shows the ideogram of hands spraying money, and this indicator region 12 is formed on a transaction trigger input 14 of the device 10.

Another embodiment of the invention is a distinctive video encoding and transcoding software application, an electronic device combining video live streaming and digital payment technologies to drive a new possibility of using technology to enable users to connect, interact and also make live electronic money transactions with one another through the click of an emoji to animate real transfer of money in exchange of goods and services. A unique computer implemented application for capturing, encoding, transcoding and broadcasting of video content by technically redirecting live feedback from contents and services consumers back to the content producers live during the production thus enabling possibility of innovative and novel features such as live monetization or live payment of contents and services, online stage dance and other live vibes peculiar to live events and entertainment. In other words, there is a computer application implemented which allows for feedback between a content producer and their live and remote viewers.

Another embodiment of this invention is the introduction of feedback production line to produce live feedback in return back to the stage where the production is made via uniquely sized and shaped big movable display screens 16 such in a shape of a poster-dimension banner right in the front of a content producer. The live feedback display screen 16 is innovatively designed and enabled with screen mirroring and casting technology. The display screen 16 is big enough that an entertainer engaged in a live production can briskly glance, read and grasp the content on the display screen from a reasonable distance in order to create easy viewing of feedback reactions from connected consumers during a high quality live video streaming production and then entertainer now has a better avenue of using voice and video chats to interact with any consumers connected to their shows thus, addressing one of the limitations of the existing live video streaming systems.

Figure 2 shows a movable smart display screen 16 in a shape of poster-dimension banner displaying an artist or similar content producer and comments reactions of fans connected live to his show. The display screen 16 includes a stand 18, with a housing 20 for electronic components on a rear of the flat banner portion 22 of the display screen 16. There are audio output portions 24 positioned on the rear of the flat banner portion 22 to allow for audio feedback to the artist.

An alternative modular live feedback display screen 26, shown in Figure 3, is uniquely designed to be detachable into a very smaller unit parts for easy transportation in a car boot. It is further designed to be expandable so it can be magnified to any convenient size required to provide the right displays of live feedback for a content producer on a production stage. It is made movable so it can be easily moved around therefore removing the limitation of the display screen 16 of Figure 2 which has a non-detachable frame but fixed and this makes it stressful and more costly to transport around in a smaller vehicle such as a car.

This modular arrangement is achieved by removing the frame from existing display screens, aligning the plurality of modules 26’ or sub-screens into a superstructure to form a larger screen, and then connecting all of the individual display screens together using fasteners, such as bolt plates, brace plates, or bolts 27. This then yields the modular live feedback display screen of Figure 3. This effectively yields a spliced display screen formed from abuttably engagable modules 26’, joined together using a modular framework. The modules 26’ can then be wired together to produce a consistent image across all of the individual screens of the superstructure display screen 26, allowing for a much larger image to be produced without making the display screen 26 impossible to transport. Figure 3 shows a display screen 26 having been formed from three modules 26’, but any combination of numbers or arrangement of screens can be provided to create the desired display screen 26 size.

The modules 26’ may then be connected together via a unifying frame, which may be provided as a modularly assembleable frame. For instance, the frame may comprise short frame sub-structures which can be connected to the desired length of a side of the display screen 26, with specific corner units provided to adapt to corners. The modular frame is preferably connectable to each of the individual modules 26’, again, via fastening elements. It is also possible, as illustrated, to provide a completely frameless display screen 26, with modules 26’ being connected to one another and then mounted to a movable base 29, since the modules 26’ have rigid connector portions which allow for direct connection of adjacent modules 26’ together without a specific frame member to be present. In this way, a poster-like display screen 26 can be produced which does not have the same volumetric requirement as the poster display screen 16 of Figure 2.

Regardless of whether a modular or static frame is provided, then the frame may take the form of a cabinet. Such a cabinet can be wall mounted using one or more fasteners. This may improve the installation process for the display screen 26.

In this arrangement, no frame is required for transportation, and modules 26’ can be transported in segmented packaging containers, since all of the modules 26’ are of equal dimension. Each module 26’ and frame member of the modularly assembleable frame is configured to be receivable into the boot or trunk of a car or van for ease of transport. It will be apparent, however, that the same principles will apply even for larger modularly assembleable display screens.

Other embodiments of the invention are the conventional video coverage equipment and gadgets such as;

Cameras (phone camera, webcam, HD camcorders etc) - for video content capturing,

Audio Console - for mixing and capturing clearer audio inputs,

Video Switcher - for mixing and switching multiple video camera outputs Video Controller Processor - for receiving and processing a variety of different video graphics signals into full colour LED displays

Video Audio Interface Box -for connecting the feeds from cameras and audio console into a computer for further fine-tuning

Cables - (HDMI, USB, SDI, VDI)

Computer- where the encoding-software runs for the purpose of fine-tuning the input video feeds for better output and for converting output video file content into a digital file.

Video Splitter - for splitting and feeding the final output video content into more display screens.

The impress device 10 may ultimately run on remote access technology and wireless communication protocols which enables a user to remotely communicate with another of their devices such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop and smart television on which a specially built dual-purpose, payment solution, e-wallet-based live video streaming application can run. The impress device 10 is a Final Instruction Activation Device (FIAD), the device 10 is invented to carry out remote activation of a single and final instruction per time on a money transfer process from an e-wallet account to another account within the same e-wallet services provision driving a Privilege Access Management (PAM) system through the use of the impress device 10. Thus, every impress device 10 needs to be linked to the live video streaming/e- wallet account platform through registering the device barcode scanning or entering its serial numbers in the e-wallet account before a wireless communication can be allowed between the impress device and any of the user’s devices housing the live video streaming/e-wallet application as a means of identifying the user. Then, an amount of money or a denomination of a country in a corresponding currency that is preset in the e-wallet account of a registered impress device user can be sent to a pre-set receiver’s e-wallet account while the final instructional validation of the money transfer from the (user) sender’s e-wallet account can also be actuated or activated outside the e-wallet application but through a registered disconnected device 10, to enable the user (sender) to remotely instruct his/her e-wallet account to activate, preferably intermittent, transfer of a pre-set amount of money to a pre-set receiver’s via, preferably intermittent, pressing of the transaction trigger input 14 of the device 10. Said transaction trigger input 14 is preferably formed as an OK pad.

Figure 4 shows a sample of the impress device 10 and some of its features, some of which may be optional:

Transaction Trigger Input/OK Pad 14: The OK Pad activates the exchanging of the amount displayed on the display screen 28 configured to display a transactional value to be authorised by the user during an act of money spraying;

Keyholder 32: This is used to attach the device to a holder or a wristband; Display Screen 28: Displays a pre-set currency and denomination of money that a holder wishes to transfer. Preferably, this is provided as an LCD display, but could additionally or alternatively be provided as an LED display screen;

Denomination Selection Button/lnput 30: This is used to select pre-set denominations of money in correlation with the currency of a country. At the press of the button denominations of corresponding currencies are displayed. This could be pre-programmed to specific common denominations in the relevant country, which may differ between currencies. Alternatively, the denomination selection button 30 may allow the user to select a custom denomination;

Currency Selection Button/lnput 34: This button selects currency of a pre-set country a device user wish to transfer. Several different possible currencies could be preloaded into the memory storage element of the device 10, which may be selected between, for instance, Nigerian naira or US dollars;

WiFi (RTM) Switch 36: is used for switching on the WiFi (RTM) communicator of the impress device 10 to wirelessly mirror the display screen 28 onto an external display, such as a smart screen. It will be apparent that this could relate to a specific communication means, such as WiFi (RTM) which expressly connects only to public display screens, whilst not also deactivating other means of communication, such as barcode readers or near-field communication technologies, such as Bluetooth (RTM), which enable communications with other computing devices, such as smartphones.

Figure 5 shows four different impress devices 10 linked to a wallet supported live video streaming application running on four smartphones linked to different users, nominally users A, B, C, and D.

The four different impress devices 10 of users A, B, C, and D are wirelessly connected with the respective smartphones of users A, B, C, and D with each impress device 10 configured to exclusively work with each user’s smartphone by a pairing function, so that one person’s impress device 10 does not work for another’s smartphone. This is to ensure a level of security in using the new device 10. Figure 5 further shows how the impress devices 10 are wirelessly connected to public display screens at a live event to project ostentatious feelings for every user. One of the users’ powers to control their privacy over the impress device is that any user can decide not to project into the public display screen by simply switching off the WiFi (RTM) on the impress device 10 by toggling the WiFi (RTM) switch 36. It will be apparent to the skilled reader that, whilst a WiFi (RTM) switch 36 is provided and discussed, alternative wireless communications protocols are also feasible, such as near-field communication, and this is intended within the scope of the present invention.

In order to add an extra layer of security, the impress device could also serve a dual-use for user’s identity authentication mechanism, here illustrated as a device switch 38 which allows the user to generate a One- Time Passcode for said users e-wallet account login security. Figure 6 shows the users identity authentication features of the impress device 10. The one-time passcode may be displayed on the same display screen 28 as illustrated the currency and denomination to be transferred during a money-spraying event.

It is clear like never before that live video streaming production needs a different set up with new features and new interactive ways where content producers can interact more and easily interface more with any fans and friends connected to them live online thus addressing a limitation of the existing live video streaming inventions in creating live online-interactions between an artist right on-stage and their connected online fans, thus, in this improved video production method, larger views of all connected online fans and their reactions per time during any live performance of a performing artist are projected back to the view of the performing artist through a strategically positioned creative display screen on the performance stage as shown in Figure 7, to enable the performing artist to follow up on the quality of production and also interact readily with connected fans while right there on the stage. This feature of this new invention is therefore creating a far better possibility to drive live online-interactions during any live video streaming production and also creating industrial capacity to promote the use of creative digital screen which could come in any sizes and shapes for the purpose of creating best feedback viewing experience to an engaged content producer.

Figure 7 shows a live feedback screen 16 set-up for an artist during a live video streaming to aid his live interactions with any of his fans connected online. The artist and/or artists are live on stage, but are able to visualise their own performance via the feedback screen 16, whilst live feedback updates are displayed on the feedback screen 16 as an overlay to the live images.

The application of the impress device 10 and the new method for creating a consistent live feedback to content producer during live video streaming production will be fully understood from its diagram description, in particular from Figures to 10.

Figure 8 shows the system architecture 40 for conventional (existing) live video streaming production set up with no feedback connection back to the content producers. The live video and audio can be recorded by physically-present individuals, such as celebrants or guests on camcorders and smartphones, passed through appropriate video content processing, and online live consumption can be provided to remote users this way. This is traditional video streaming. Remote users have no means of providing feedback other than via their smartphones, for example, which has no mechanism for being directed back to the content provider in real-time.

Figure 9 shows the system 50 for the new live video streaming production method showing the feedback connections back to the content producers (live performing artist and event celebrant).

Live content from the stage is produced by the content producer. At the venue there will be the public display screens which can be seen by the local guests and celebrant, as well as potentially also the content producers. There is also the display screen 16 which displays the feedback directly to the content producers. Impress devices 10 are also present and provided to the guests at the location to allow for easy moneyspraying to be achieved.

Recording of the event can be performed by a camcorder or smartphone which can then be processed and streamed via the dedicated software, provided as a computer application for a mobile or desktop computer. The video content produced is then broadcast so as to be viewable by online content viewers, who can provide live feedback reactions in the form of comments, emojis, money spraying, and other forms of feedback.

In the present invention, the live feedback can be transmitted to the display screen 16 to the content producers. It can be provided to the public display screens and/or any display screens 26 directed at the guests. It can also be provided to user’s smartphones.

Figure 10 shows a high quality Multi-Camera Live Video Streaming Production Set-Up of the present system for enabling live video streaming providing magnified live feedback with a newly introduced live feedback equipment set-up to aid live and online-interactions between content producer and consumers while the production is going on. A plurality of cameras can be provided to record the live content producers on stage, which can be processed via a video-audio interface and/or video switcher. This video stream is then encoded and transcoded for broadcast to other devices, such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, and/or smart television. The online reactions can be fed back through the feedback video interface and/or feedback audio interface. This can then be directed to the display screen 16 which is presented to the content producer.
