Solution Overview

Problem

Non-professional users face challenges in producing high-quality video content due to the lack of automated systems that can generate and modify scripts for events, considering factors like camera angles, operators, and resources, limiting their ability to create professional-looking videos.

Innovation Solution

A system for automated script generation and video production that includes a server, content contributors, and devices for content acquisition and output, allowing users to select pre-prepared script templates, define resources, and coordinate content collection and editing, enabling the creation of customized videos.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If professional video production knowledge and scripts are kept as intellectual property of professional producers, then professional quality is maintained, but non-professional users cannot access these resources to produce good quality video

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAccessibility of video production knowledgeVSAvoidProfessional quality of video
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates digital copies of professional video production scripts and knowledge, storing them in a database that can be accessed and utilized by multiple users simultaneously. This allows non-professional users to access professionally developed scripts without compromising the original intellectual property, enabling them to produce professional-quality videos while maintaining the value of the original scripts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Ease of operation

If scripts are produced on-the-fly without automated systems, then flexibility is maintained, but the complexity of coordinating multiple cameras, operators, and resources increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveScript generation processVSAvoidCoordination of production resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated script generation where the software itself performs the complex task of coordinating multiple cameras, operators, and resources based on user inputs. The automated system handles resource allocation, camera positioning, and scheduling, eliminating the need for manual coordination while maintaining flexibility. Users simply provide basic event details, and the system generates comprehensive production scripts automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If multiple cameras and operators are used to capture events from different angles, then video quality and coverage are improved, but the complexity of managing resources and modifying scripts increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveVideo coverage qualityVSAvoidResource management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex task of managing multiple cameras and operators into separate, manageable modules. Each camera and operator can be configured and managed independently through the system, with individual settings for positioning, timing, and responsibilities. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex multi-camera productions while maintaining ease of management, as each component can be adjusted without affecting the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Adaptability or versatility

If scripts are not automated and must be manually created and modified, then customization for specific resources is possible, but time and effort required for script production increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveScript customization capabilityVSAvoidScript development time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring template scripts with common production scenarios, camera setups, and operator roles. These templates are prepared in advance and stored in the database, allowing users to quickly generate customized scripts by simply selecting appropriate templates and making minor adjustments. This eliminates the need to create scripts from scratch while maintaining full customization capability for specific resources and events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
