Solution Overview

Problem

Promoters in the music industry face challenges in quickly and cost-effectively generating targeted media trailers for music events, as creating customized promotional previews is time-consuming and costly.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for automatically generating media trailers by receiving user input specifying artists and trailer duration, selecting representative songs, arranging and equalizing clips, and integrating additional content to produce a cohesive media item for promotion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If promoters manually create customized promotional previews for music events, then the quality and targeting of promotional content is improved, but the time and cost required for production increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeting capabilityVSAvoidproduction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-service trailer generation by allowing promoters to input basic event parameters (artist, date, location) and having the system automatically select and assemble appropriate music clips, visuals, and effects without requiring manual editing or production expertise

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-categorizing music clips, visuals, and effects into artist-specific collections before promotion needs arise, so that when a promoter needs a trailer, the relevant materials are already organized and ready for automatic assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If promoters manually create customized promotional previews for music events, then the quality and targeting of promotional content is improved, but the cost and complexity of production increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeting capabilityVSAvoidproduction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-service trailer generation by allowing promoters to input basic event parameters (artist, date, location) and having the system automatically select and assemble appropriate music clips, visuals, and effects without requiring manual editing or production expertise

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides universal functionality by handling multiple production tasks (music selection, visual assembly, effect application, format rendering) through a single automated platform that works across different artists, events, and promotional channels without requiring separate tools or expertise

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

3Productivity

If the system automatically generates trailers by combining multiple clips, then the speed and cost-effectiveness of production is improved, but the coherence and quality of the final media item may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeneration speedVSAvoidmedia coherence
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies feedback mechanisms by analyzing the musical and visual characteristics of selected clips and automatically adjusting transitions, timing, and effects to ensure smooth coherence between different segments, with the ability to refine selections based on coherence metrics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters such as transition duration, volume levels, and visual effects intensity automatically based on the specific characteristics of the clips being combined, ensuring that each transition is optimized for coherence rather than using fixed uniform settings

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
