Solution Overview

Problem

The film industry faces issues of unoriginal content and significant revenue loss due to piracy, as current film-making processes are linear and do not account for viewer preferences, leading to predictable experiences and easy pirating of films.

Innovation Solution

A system and process for generating customized movies by receiving user profiles, extracting relevant attributes, and assembling a dynamic sequence of scenes for personalized streaming, while incorporating anti-piracy measures such as watermarking and blockchain tracking.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If films are produced using traditional linear filmmaking processes, then production complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but content originality deteriorates and adaptability to viewer preferences worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of film productionVSAvoidadaptability to viewer preferences
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The film is divided into multiple selectable scenes or segments that can be independently chosen and recombined based on viewer preferences. The system segments the narrative into discrete units that allow for customization while maintaining the overall story structure, enabling adaptability without requiring complete redesign of the production process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The film transitions from a static, fixed sequence of scenes to a dynamic structure where the sequence of scenes can be automatically adjusted based on real-time analysis of viewer preferences and reactions. The system dynamically reorders or selects scenes to create personalized viewing experiences while maintaining narrative coherence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If films are produced as standardized content, then production efficiency is improved and productivity increases, but content originality deteriorates and viewer engagement worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm production efficiencyVSAvoidcontent uniqueness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of creating entirely unique films for each viewer, the system creates a master template with multiple scene variations and uses automated copying and recombination processes to generate personalized versions. This allows high-volume customization while maintaining production efficiency through template-based generation rather than complete individual production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters such as scene selection, ordering, and composition based on viewer profile data and real-time feedback. By varying these parameters across different viewing instances of the same film, the system generates unique viewing experiences from a standardized production base, maintaining productivity while achieving content diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If films are distributed in fixed formats, then distribution simplicity is improved, but piracy resistance deteriorates as pirated copies remain identical and easily shareable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistribution simplicityVSAvoidpiracy protection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The film is segmented into multiple scenes that can be dynamically reordered or selected, making each pirated copy inherently different from the original and from other pirated copies. This segmentation prevents simple copying and sharing because the segmented components can be recombined in numerous ways, complicating piracy while maintaining distribution through digital delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The film transitions from a static distribution format to a dynamic one where the sequence and composition of scenes change based on viewer identification and preferences. This dynamic delivery makes piracy ineffective because pirated copies cannot capture the dynamic adaptation capability, and each authorized viewing receives a customized sequence that differs from any static copy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Adaptability or versatility

If personalized film generation is implemented, then viewer engagement and content originality are improved, but system complexity increases and device complexity worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a multi-functional platform that handles user profiling, scene segmentation, preference analysis, scene recombination, and dynamic rendering within a single integrated architecture. This universal system performs multiple functions that would otherwise require separate systems, reducing overall complexity while enabling comprehensive personalization capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system manages complexity by focusing parameter changes on a limited set of key variables such as scene selection flags, ordering sequences, and composition weights rather than attempting to customize every visual element. This parameter-based approach enables personalization through controlled variation of essential attributes while maintaining a stable underlying system structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A system and process generate tailored movies based on user profile data. The system extracts a viewer's profile data and selects scenes for assembly into a rendered movie. Different viewers may thus see different movie storylines based on their individual profile data. Some embodiments may include an anti-piracy scheme which may watermark parts of the individualized movies. A blockchain may be used to determine whether a movie is generated for the user viewer or an unauthorized copy of someone's else's movie.
