Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional learning systems struggle to accurately assess and adapt to a user's specific knowledge gaps, often presenting entire content items that may not be relevant to the user's needs, leading to inefficient learning experiences.

Innovation Solution

A system that tracks concepts within content items using time stamps and clustering methods, recommends relevant segments based on user assessment, and presents them adaptively, allowing for precise delivery of learning materials aligned with the user's knowledge level.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the system presents entire content items to users, then the user receives comprehensive learning materials, but the learning efficiency decreases due to irrelevant content being included

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of learning materialsVSAvoidlearning efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments content items into multiple segments based on detected concepts and time stamps. Each segment corresponds to a specific concept or topic within the broader content item. This allows the system to present only the relevant segments to the user rather than the entire content item, thereby maintaining completeness of necessary learning materials while improving learning efficiency by eliminating irrelevant content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the system uses user statements to assess knowledge level, then the assessment process is simple, but the measurement precision of knowledge gaps deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of assessment processVSAvoidprecision of knowledge gap detection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism - automated concept detection and time stamp analysis - between the user's content interaction and the knowledge assessment. Instead of directly relying on user statements, the system analyzes the content itself to identify concepts and their temporal locations, then uses this information to assess knowledge gaps more precisely while keeping the user interface simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If the system presents content without concept tracking, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability to user knowledge gaps deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of system structureVSAvoidadaptability to user needs
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing content items to detect concepts and generate time stamps before the user interaction phase. This preliminary analysis creates a structured framework that enables the system to quickly adapt to user needs during the learning process without adding significant complexity during runtime. The concepts and time stamps are prepared in advance, allowing efficient content delivery tailored to user knowledge gaps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

In an aspect of the disclosure, a computer-implemented method for presenting video content on an educational platform is disclosed. The method includes: associating, via a processor, a first segment of a first video file with a concept, wherein the first segment includes time-interval data defining a temporal portion of the first video file; generating, via the processor, a knowledge base including: a first node representing the concept; a second node representing the time-interval data of the first segment; and a weighted edge connecting the first node and the second node, wherein the weighted edge represents a probability that the first segment defined by the time-interval data comprises a depiction of the concept; generating, via the processor, an output video representing the concept based on the knowledge base; and displaying, via the processor, the output video via a graphical user interface.
