Real-Time Content Segment Sharing via Segmentation and Preliminary Action
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current content sharing systems require users to wait for the entire video to be published on the provider's web page before they can share specific segments, which can lead to delayed sharing and missed opportunities for content dissemination.
Innovation Solution
The proposed system allows users to mark segments of content for sharing while they are still being broadcasted, using different modes of operation such as Push Mode, Semi Pull Mode, and Full Pull Mode, which enable automated sharing on social networks without requiring users to wait for the content to be fully uploaded.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users wait for the entire video to be published on the provider's web page before sharing specific segments, then the content sharing system ensures complete content availability, but the sharing delay increases and content dissemination opportunities are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and segmenting video content during broadcasting, preparing segments for sharing before the complete video is available. Users can mark segments for sharing in real-time during broadcast, and the system pre-generates shareable content without waiting for full video publication.
Solution Approach 2:
The video content is divided into discrete segments that can be independently processed and shared. This segmentation allows the system to make specific portions of content available for sharing before the entire video is published, enabling timely sharing while maintaining reliability for complete content availability when needed.
2Manufacturing precision
If the system processes and publishes the entire video before allowing sharing, then content quality and completeness are ensured, but the productivity of content dissemination is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Content is segmented into shareable units that can be processed and distributed independently. This allows the system to maintain quality control for complete videos while enabling faster dissemination of individual segments through multiple channels simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary processing of video segments during the broadcasting phase, preparing them for sharing in advance. This preliminary action enables high-quality segmented content to be available for immediate sharing without waiting for complete video publication.
3Measurement precision
If users manually prepare and share content segments after video publication, then sharing accuracy is improved, but the ease of operation is reduced and user effort increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service functionality by automatically processing, segmenting, and preparing content for sharing based on user markings during broadcast. The automated system handles the complex tasks of video processing and shareable content generation, reducing user effort while maintaining sharing accuracy through precise user-triggered segment selection.
Data Source
AI summary
A user may want to share segments of content, such as video sequences of news reporting or sports events received from a service provider, SR, or content provider, CP, with the members of his social network using the user's social networking application. Therefore, a method is provided for sharing content that may include receiving a content segment by a Transmitter/Receiver Device, TRD. The TRD may transmit, to the SP/CP, a request for sharing the currently received content segment. The SP/CP may receive the request from the TRD and may prepare the content segment for sharing, for example by uploading it to a replay platform. The TRD may receive, from the SP/CP an indication that the content segment has been stored on the replay platform, including a locator to the content segment. The TRD may publish the locator in the user's social network application.
