Batch Annotation System for Multi-Video Promotion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for promoting videos or brands across multiple videos require manual editing and lack efficiency, as users must individually add annotations to each video, which is time-consuming and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for presenting annotations across multiple videos, where a user can select an annotation, such as text, image, or hyperlink, and associate it with their account, allowing automatic presentation on multiple videos without manual editing, with options for location and timing of the annotation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual editing is used to add annotations to each video individually, then precision of annotation placement is improved, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the annotation addition process across multiple videos into a single batch operation. Users can select multiple videos and add annotations to all selected videos simultaneously, combining what would otherwise be separate manual editing tasks into one unified action, thereby maintaining precision while dramatically improving productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows users to pre-select multiple videos before adding annotations. This preliminary selection action enables the user to define the scope of annotation application in advance, so that when the annotation is added, it is automatically applied to all pre-selected videos with proper placement, eliminating the need for repeated individual video selection and annotation placement
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual editing is used for each video, then annotation customization is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple video files into a single batch processing operation. Users can select multiple videos and apply annotations to all of them in one action, merging what would otherwise be separate customization tasks. The system maintains annotation customization capabilities while executing the operation across all selected videos simultaneously, thereby reducing time loss without sacrificing adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The annotation system is designed to be universal across multiple video files. A single annotation configuration can be applied to any number of selected videos, making the annotation tool multi-functional. This universality allows users to customize annotations once and have them automatically applied across multiple videos with different content, maintaining adaptability while significantly reducing the time required compared to individual video processing
3Productivity
If automated annotation is implemented across multiple videos, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal annotation mechanism that can operate across multiple videos simultaneously. By creating a single automated process that handles batch video annotation, the system achieves high productivity without requiring separate complex mechanisms for each video. The multi-functional design allows one automated system to handle various video files and annotation types, improving efficiency while keeping device complexity manageable through consolidation rather than multiplication of components
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, systems, and media for presenting annotations across multiple videos are provided. In some implementations, methods for presenting annotations across multiple videos are provided, the methods comprising: receiving a selection of an annotation from a user; identifying, by a hardware processor, a plurality of videos associated with the user account to be associated with the annotation; and presenting the annotation upon rendering one of the plurality of videos.
