Action Object Metadata Assignment in Media Production
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods fail to precisely identify and trace action objects in audio and visual media content across different production steps, leading to inconsistencies and difficulties in metadata management.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for processing and generating metadata of action objects by digitizing data from multiple production steps, identifying and assigning data elements to specific action objects using ontology and parameter comparisons, and linking objects across different versions of the media content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If data from multiple production steps are processed separately without unified identification, then each production step can be handled independently, but action objects cannot be precisely identified and traced across different production steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the metadata processing by creating separate processing modules for different production steps (first production step, second production step, etc.). Each module processes data elements specific to its production step while maintaining references to action objects. This segmentation allows independent processing of each production step's data while still achieving unified identification of action objects across steps through the use of action object identifiers and data element assignments.
2Reliability
If data elements from different production steps are assigned to action objects using algorithm-based identification, then action objects can be precisely identified across production steps, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by assigning data elements to action objects as they are processed in each production step, rather than performing all assignments simultaneously at the end. The system identifies action objects and assigns their data elements progressively through the production steps, using algorithms to match data elements with appropriate action objects based on parameters and characteristics. This progressive assignment reduces computational burden and time compared to processing all data at once.
3Stability of the object's composition
If uniform designations are defined for data elements from multiple production steps, then consistency in action object identification is achieved, but the complexity of data element mapping and assignment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by creating a unified action object identification system that works across multiple production steps. The system uses universal principles for identifying and assigning data elements to action objects, such as comparing parameters (time values, spatial coordinates, object characteristics) and using ontology-based matching. This universal approach ensures consistent identification of action objects across different production steps while managing complexity through standardized processing rules and algorithms.

AI summary
Generating and assigning metadata relating to action objects which arise in audio and/or visual media contents. The action objects are visual and/or audible objects or elements which can be perceived by a viewer and/or listener in audio and/or visual media contents and which originate from different production steps of the audio and/or visual media contents.
