Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for synchronizing videos captured by multiple cameras are cumbersome and increase constraint conditions, making it difficult to accurately reconstruct body posture due to time differences between captured frames.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device synchronizes videos based on the movement of a body part by identifying and aligning movement information from different camera views using a neural network, reducing the need for additional equipment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If time slate or sensor methods are used to synchronize videos, then video synchronization accuracy is improved, but device complexity and constraint conditions increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo synchronization accuracyVSAvoidconstraint condition
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses the body's own movement information as the synchronization reference, eliminating the need for external time slates or sensors. The processor automatically extracts movement features from video frames and uses them to align multiple camera feeds, allowing the subject to serve as their own synchronization tool.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces movement information of body parts as an intermediary element that mediates between multiple video streams. By extracting and comparing movement trajectories of specific body parts across different camera views, the system achieves synchronization without direct camera-to-camera coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If multiple cameras capture body posture simultaneously, then reconstruction accuracy is improved, but time differences between frames increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebody posture reconstruction accuracyVSAvoidtime difference between frames
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes a feedback loop where movement information from one camera is used to adjust and align the timing of other cameras. The processor continuously compares movement trajectories and applies time shifts to minimize discrepancies, ensuring that posture reconstruction uses synchronized data from all camera views.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary extraction of movement information from video frames before the actual posture reconstruction process. By pre-processing and aligning the temporal data of body part movements, the system prepares synchronized reference data that enables accurate multi-view posture reconstruction without suffering from frame timing mismatches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
