Phase 1 -Problem Definition & Design Thinking
Problem Statement
Current streaming platforms face buffering issues, poor personalization, complex interfaces, and
security concerns. The goal is to create a seamless, secure, and user-friendly Online Streaming
App with efficient playback, personalization, and robust content management.
Target Audience
● Deliver seamless, high-quality media streaming with minimal buffering.
● Provide personalized content recommendations based on user preferences.
● Ensure secure user authentication and data protection using JWT.
● Design a responsive and intuitive interface for all devices.
● Enable efficient content management for creators and admins.
● Implement real-time synchronization for playback and multi-device use.
● Build a scalable platform to handle growing user demands.
● Integrate secure payment gateways (e.g., Stripe/PayPal) for subscriptions and
premium content access.
Design Thinking Approach for Online Streaming App
Empathize:
Users demand seamless and secure streaming experiences on platforms. Common concerns
include:
● Buffering or delay in streaming quality.
● Inadequate personalization of content.
● Complex and confusing user interfaces.
● Insecure authentication and payment processes.
Key User Concerns:
● High-quality, uninterrupted streaming.
● Personalized content recommendations based on user preferences.
● Secure login and account protection.
● Smooth and intuitive navigation across devices.
● Safe and easy payment processing.
Define:
The solution must:
● Ensure high-quality streaming with minimal buffering and real-time data delivery.
● Provide personalized content recommendations using user data.
● Implement secure JWT-based authentication for user privacy and data protection.
● Enable seamless payment integrations for subscription and premium content.
● Provide a responsive, user-friendly design that works across devices.
Key Features Required:
● WebSocket/Socket.io integration for real-time media streaming and user actions.
● JWT-based authentication system for secure logins and session management.
● Stripe/PayPal API integration for secure and seamless payment processing.
● Responsive UI using React.js for a smooth and consistent user experience.
Ideate:
Potential Ideas:
● Real-time streaming updates for:
○ Switching between media (e.g., video/audio).
○ Syncing playback progress across multiple devices.
● Scalable and secure JWT authentication for smooth user logins and account management.
● Seamless payment integration using Stripe or PayPal for easy access to premium content
or subscriptions.
Brainstorming Results:
● A React.js front-end using WebSocket/Socket.io to handle real-time media streaming and
user interaction.
● Use Redux or Context API for managing app state on the client side.
● Payment flow simulation to verify smooth payment processing via Stripe or PayPal.
Prototype:
Key Components of Prototype:
● Real-time Media Streaming: Use WebSocket/Socket.io for real-time synchronization
between server and client, ensuring seamless playback.
● JWT Authentication Flow: Implement secure login and token management for account
protection.
● Payment Integration: Integrate Stripe/PayPal APIs for secure and easy subscription
management.
Prototype Goals:
● Real-time Communication: Test whether media changes and progress (e.g., play/pause,
content switching) reflect instantly across devices.
● Authentication: Validate secure login and token-based logout mechanisms.
● Payment Flow: Ensure a smooth, secure, and hassle-free payment experience through
Stripe/PayPal.
Test:
Focus Group:
● Streaming service users, content creators, developers, and beta testers familiar with media
apps and payment systems.
Testing Goals:
● Real-time Synchronization: Verify that media updates (e.g., video/audio playback) are
synchronized across devices in real-time.
● Authentication: Check if the JWT authentication system is secure, with proper session
management.
● Payment Flow: Test the reliability and security of payment transactions using dummy
data.
