Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for identifying recommended segments in multimedia data, especially for newly released audio/video content, rely heavily on manual annotation and subjective feelings, leading to inefficiencies and inconsistencies due to the lack of playback record data.

Innovation Solution

A method that extracts audio track data from multimedia content, allocates weight values based on signal source types, fuses attention parameters with weight values to highlight important segments, and predicts recommendation parameters to accurately identify recommended segments.

Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent substitutes manual annotation with automated audio feature extraction and analysis systems that process audio data through deep learning models. The system automatically identifies recommended segments by analyzing audio characteristics, eliminating time-consuming manual processes while maintaining comprehensive annotation coverage

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service analysis by automatically extracting audio features, generating attention parameters, and determining recommendation parameters without requiring human annotators. The automated system serves itself by processing audio data through integrated algorithms that objectively identify recommended segments based on audio characteristics
