Autonomous Video Channel Generation for Uncoordinated Feeds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User-generated video delivery poses challenges due to unscheduled and uncoordinated content, lack of descriptive metadata, and multiple live feeds for the same event, making content discovery difficult for audiences.
Innovation Solution
A system that autonomously generates ad hoc video stream channels by classifying and selecting user-generated video feeds based on metadata, switching between feeds if engagement drops, and incorporating time-shifted content when live options are unavailable, using a feed classifier, selector, notifier, and audience engagement module to optimize viewer experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If user-generated video feeds are delivered directly without processing, then delivery speed is improved, but content discovery difficulty increases due to unscheduled and uncoordinated content
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of video feeds into categories (e.g., sports, music, news) and pre-organizes them into thematic channels before delivery. This advance organization enables fast delivery while making content discoverable through category-based navigation and automated channel generation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple live user-generated feeds for the same event are aggregated, then content variety is improved, but system complexity increases due to uncoordinated feeds
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs autonomous algorithms that automatically classify, select, and aggregate multiple user-generated feeds into coherent channels without manual intervention. The automated classification system independently organizes uncoordinated feeds by category and theme, managing complexity internally while presenting simplified, varied content to users.
3Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If automated classification and selection is implemented, then content discovery is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs classification and channel organization in advance, creating pre-structured categories and thematic channels from incoming feeds. This preliminary processing enables rapid content delivery while maintaining improved content discovery through organized categorization, as the heavy lifting of classification occurs before the delivery moment.

AI summary
A method for generating ad hoc video stream channels is implemented on at least one computing device and includes: receiving a multiplicity of incoming user video feeds, where schedules for the incoming user video feeds are unknown; classifying the multiplicity of incoming user video feeds according to at least a genre; selecting at least one incoming video feed from among the multiplicity of incoming user video feeds for inclusion in at least one video stream channel, where the selecting is according to selection criteria, and the selection criteria are based at least on the classifying; generating at least one outgoing video stream for the at least one video stream channel according to the selecting; and delivering the at least one outgoing video stream to presentation devices.
