Solution Overview

Problem

Promoters in the music industry face challenges in efficiently and cost-effectively creating previews or trailers of an artist's music to promote music-related events, as producing these trailers can be time-consuming and costly.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for automatically generating media trailers of an artist's music by receiving input specifying the artist and trailer duration, selecting representative media items, arranging and equalizing clips, and integrating additional content to produce a cohesive media trailer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If manual production of music trailers is used, then quality and customization of promotional content is improved, but time consumption and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of trailer productionVSAvoidtime consumption for trailer creation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-service generation of music trailers by selecting and assembling audio clips, video footage, and graphics without human intervention. The automated trailer generator processes artist information and event details to produce complete promotional trailers independently, eliminating the need for manual editing and assembly while maintaining production quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual production process with an automated computational system. Instead of human editors manually selecting and assembling media elements, an automated algorithm performs the selection, sequencing, and assembly of trailer components, substituting mechanical human labor with automated digital processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If automated trailer generation is used, then time and cost efficiency is improved, but level of automation increases requiring new systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrailer production efficiencyVSAvoidcomplexity of automation system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automated trailer generation system is divided into distinct functional modules: an audio clip selector that chooses music segments, a video footage selector that selects visual clips, an assembler that combines elements, and an equalizer that balances audio levels. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function independently, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining high automation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
