Solution Overview
Problem
Video production is laborious and time-consuming, requiring large numbers of human operators to manage and assemble video clips from multiple sources, especially in live video production, and lacks efficient methods for incorporating diverse crowd-sourced content.
Innovation Solution
A cloud-enabled video editing system that includes a video editor, cloud analytics server, and mobile computing devices, allowing for near-real-time search and incorporation of crowd-sourced media into video productions through media queries and dynamic content slots, leveraging cloud computing for scalable processing and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional video production methods are used with human operators managing video clips, then video assembly can be completed with manual control, but the process becomes laborious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations of video assembly with automated cloud-based systems. The video editor system automatically retrieves, processes, and assembles video clips from cloud storage based on editorial decisions, substituting human operators' manual clip management with automated digital workflows and cloud computing resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a cloud-based video editor system as an intermediary between raw video clips and final video programs. This intermediary system automatically manages the complex tasks of clip retrieval, processing, and assembly, reducing direct human involvement in time-consuming manual operations while maintaining editorial control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If large numbers of human operators are used to incorporate multiple camera sources, then comprehensive video content can be assembled, but the complexity and resource requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal video editor system that can handle multiple camera sources and video inputs through a single integrated platform. The system universally processes various video formats and sources (live feeds, recorded clips, crowd-sourced content) through automated cloud-based operations, eliminating the need for separate manual processing for each source.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the complex operational tasks of managing multiple video sources from human operators and transfers them to automated cloud-based systems. The video editor system independently handles the complexity of coordinating multiple camera feeds, retrieving clips, and assembling content, freeing operators from these burdensome tasks.
3Reliability
If manual review and evaluation of video clips is performed, then content quality can be ensured, but the process becomes extremely time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary automated processing and organization of video clips in the cloud before they reach the editor. The system pre-retrieves, pre-processes, and pre-organizes video clips based on editorial requirements, so that when editors review content, the preparatory work has already been completed, reducing the time needed for evaluation and assembly.
Data Source
AI summary
Technologies for cloud-based media search and editing include a video editor configured to build a media query and associate the media query with a dynamic content slot of a media program. When generating video output based on the media program, the video editor transmits the media query to a cloud analytics server and receives search results identifying one or more media clips produced by a number of mobile computing devices. The video editor may display a list of clips for selection by the user or may automatically include one of the clips in the output. The cloud analytics server transmits an acceptance policy defining criteria for acceptable media, based on the media query, to the mobile computing devices. The mobile computing devices configure capture settings according to the acceptance policy and may display a user interface to assist the user in capturing acceptable media. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
