Customized Highlight Sequence Generation for Sporting Events
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current services providing game highlights for sporting events do not account for individual viewer preferences, leading to inefficient use of time and decreased viewership, as they broadcast generalized content without considering the diverse interests of sports fans.
Innovation Solution
The technology generates customized highlight sequences for sporting and entertainment events by determining user interests through explicit input or behavioral analysis, tailoring the length and content to individual preferences, and selecting highlights that reflect the user's interests, including the excitement level and narrative coherence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If generalized highlights are broadcast to all viewers, then the content can be produced efficiently with simple mechanisms, but the content does not match individual viewer preferences leading to wasted time and decreased viewership
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-determines user preferences and interests before generating highlights, creating personalized highlight sequences in advance based on individual user profiles, teams of interest, and playing styles, thereby avoiding the need for users to watch irrelevant content
Solution Approach 2:
The system tailors the content quality and characteristics of highlights to match specific user preferences, such as focusing on favorite teams, players, or particular playing styles, making each user receive customized content rather than generic highlights
2Device complexity
If generalized highlights are broadcast to all viewers, then the system complexity remains low, but the content fails to engage individual viewers resulting in decreased viewership and advertisement revenue
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of user preferences, viewing habits, and interests to create personalized highlight sequences, enabling targeted content delivery that increases engagement and viewership without requiring complex real-time processing during highlight generation
Solution Approach 2:
The system varies multiple parameters including user preference weights, highlight selection criteria, and content characteristics to optimize engagement metrics, allowing flexible adjustment of highlight content based on individual user profiles and viewing patterns
3Ease of operation
If customized highlight sequences are generated for individual users, then viewer satisfaction and engagement increase, but the complexity of the highlight generation system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the highlight generation process into distinct modules including user preference analysis, highlight selection, sequence assembly, and quality assessment, allowing each component to be independently optimized and managed while delivering personalized content
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces intermediary components such as preference profiles, selection algorithms, and sequence generators that mediate between raw highlight content and final personalized output, simplifying the overall system architecture while enabling customization

AI summary
A customized highlight sequence depicting an event, and based on a user's personal characteristics, interests, and/or preferences, is generated and presented. The event can be a sporting event, entertainment event, and/or the like. For example, in the context of sporting events, a determination is made as to what types of sports, teams, leagues, players, plays, and/or the like are of interest to the user. In at least one embodiment, the amount of time available to the user can be obtained, so that the length of the highlight sequence can be tailored to the available time. A customized highlight sequence is then generated and presented, containing those specific portions of the sporting event that are likely to be of interest, arranged in a manner that is likely to be entertaining to the user and comports with the time restrictions.
