Solution Overview

Problem

Current online video streaming platforms fail to provide personalized, dynamic, and adaptive video experiences to users as they do not account for dynamically changing user interests or perform meta-tagging based on search queries, resulting in inefficient video navigation and assembly.

Innovation Solution

A method that involves receiving user preference data, fragmenting and clustering videos into logical segments, mining semantic context information, and inserting interactive navigation options to enable real-time navigation to discrete segments of assembled videos, tailored to individual user preferences and viewing behavior.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If videos are assembled based on complete set of tags without dynamic user interest consideration, then video assembly is simplified, but user personalization and content relevance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo assembly processVSAvoiduser personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-tagging video fragments with multiple metadata tags before assembly, and pre-computing user profiles based on historical data. This allows the system to quickly assemble personalized videos by matching pre-prepared tags with user preferences without complex real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The video assembly process transitions from static tag-based assembly to dynamic user-interest-driven assembly. The system dynamically adjusts video fragment selection based on real-time user preferences, viewing behavior, and contextual factors, making the assembly process adaptable to individual user needs while maintaining efficiency through automated algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If platforms don't perform dynamic meta-tagging based on user search queries, then processing complexity is reduced, but navigation precision and content retrieval efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidnavigation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments videos into smaller fragments and applies multiple tags to each fragment based on user search queries and viewing behavior. This segmentation allows precise navigation to specific video segments that match user interests without requiring complex processing of entire videos, improving both navigation precision and retrieval efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If interactive navigation options are inserted in assembled video, then user engagement and navigation capability are improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary layer of navigation options that mediate between the user and the video content. These navigation options include clickable thumbnails, chapter markers, and recommendation overlays that are inserted into the assembled video, enabling easy user navigation without requiring complex client-side processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If videos are assembled in real-time based on user preferences, then content relevance is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevanceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing videos into tagged fragments and pre-computing user profiles based on historical data. This allows real-time personalized video assembly by simply matching pre-prepared tags with user preferences, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining high content relevance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
