Cross-Language Video Playback Using Decoupled Translation Audio

Solution Overview

Problem

Current cross-language video processing methods require rigid video settings in multiple languages, leading to inefficient video storage and processing.

Innovation Solution

Decouple the video into separate audio and video files, translate the audio into multiple language files, and store them on servers corresponding to their respective language regions, allowing for rapid distribution and synchronous playback based on user demand.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If videos are set into respective videos in multiple languages, then cross-language video playing is achieved, but the efficiency of cross-language video processing is low and storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecross-language video playing capabilityVSAvoidvideo processing efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video content by separating the original video file from audio translation files. Instead of creating complete duplicate videos in each language, the system divides the video into a base video component and language-specific audio components, allowing independent processing and storage of each element.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal video framework where a single video file can serve multiple language audiences. By establishing a common video structure that can accommodate different language audio files, the system enables one video asset to fulfill multiple language delivery functions, improving both processing efficiency and storage utilization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If videos are set into respective videos in multiple languages, then cross-language video playing is achieved, but storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecross-language video playing capabilityVSAvoidvideo storage space

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video content by separating the original video file from audio translation files. Instead of creating complete duplicate videos in each language, the system divides the video into a base video component and language-specific audio components, allowing independent processing and storage of each element.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple language versions into a unified video structure. By combining a single video file with multiple language audio files into one integrated video asset, the system reduces total storage requirements while maintaining the capability to deliver content in multiple languages.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If individual setting up of videos in various languages is required, then cross-language video playing is achieved, but the efficiency of cross-language video processing is low

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecross-language video playing capabilityVSAvoidvideo processing system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal video framework where a single video file can serve multiple language audiences. By establishing a common video structure that can accommodate different language audio files, the system enables one video asset to fulfill multiple language delivery functions, improving both processing efficiency and storage utilization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic language switching capability within the video playback system. The video player can dynamically select and switch between different language audio files based on user preferences or regional settings, eliminating the need for static, pre-configured language versions and reducing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, a device, a medium, and a product for cross-language video processing. The method includes: in response to a video playing request by a first user, determining a video to be played, the video to be played being a video posted by a second user; determining a video file associated with the video to be played, and at least one translation file, the at least one translation file being obtained based on an original audio file of the video to be played being translated according to a respective language type of at least one language type, and the original audio file and the video file being obtained by decoupling the video to be played; determining a target translation file matching play demand information of the first user, according to the respective language type corresponding to the at least one translation file; and downloading the target translation file from a target server corresponding to the target language type, and synchronously playing the video file and the target translation file. The problem of low efficiency in video cross-language processing is solved.
