Automated Video Segmenting for Recipient-Aware Digital Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video sharing technologies are cumbersome and resource-intensive for users to segment and share relevant portions of videos, especially for less technically savvy users, leading to reduced shareability and value of video content.
Innovation Solution
An automated video segmenting system that identifies video tags to determine configuration parameters for generating video segments based on time ranges and intended recipients, allowing for user-friendly sharing of video segments through enhanced tagging and transcoding, enabling offline distribution without requiring separate video editors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automated video segmenting system is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically segments videos and generates sharing communications without requiring user intervention in the technical processes. The video processing system self-services by automatically identifying video tags, determining configuration parameters, generating video segments, and composing digital communications, thereby improving ease of operation while the complexity is encapsulated within the automated system infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The video processing system acts as an intermediary between the video source and the recipient. It receives video tags, processes the video content automatically, generates appropriate segments, and delivers them through selected communication formats, thereby simplifying the user interaction while managing the system complexity through a dedicated processing layer.
2Loss of time
If automated video segmenting is used, then loss of time is reduced, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing by automatically analyzing video tags and determining configuration parameters before actual video segment generation. This preliminary action includes identifying the intended recipient, selecting appropriate communication formats, and preparing the video segment parameters in advance, which reduces overall processing time while maintaining precision through automated parameter determination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical video editing processes with automated digital processing systems. The video processing system uses computational algorithms to automatically determine time ranges, select video segments, and generate communications, substituting manual operations with automated digital mechanisms that are both faster and programmatically precise.
3Productivity
If manual video segmenting is used, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The video processing system performs multiple functions within a single integrated platform: it processes video tags, determines configuration parameters, generates video segments, selects communication formats, and composes digital communications. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate tools and manual processes, thereby increasing productivity while the system complexity is centralized in a single versatile platform.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to identify and parse a video tag associated with a video to determine configuration parameters for a video segment to be generated from the video, the determined configuration parameters comprising a specification of a time range for the video segment and an intended recipient thereof. The processing device is also configured to generate the video segment in accordance with the determined configuration parameters, and to select one or more digital communication formats for sending the generated video segment to the intended recipient, the one or more digital communication formats being selected based at least in part on at least one of (i) one or more user preferences associated with the intended recipient and (ii) the determined configuration parameters. The processing device is further configured to send the generated video segment to the intended recipient via the selected one or more digital communication formats.
