Customized 3D Object Media Representation for Bandwidth Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Web-based browsing of three-dimensional objects faces challenges due to the scarcity of communication resources such as bandwidth, leading to unsatisfactory perceived quality of service, as it requires rendering a large number of media representations which can overwhelm available resources.
Innovation Solution
The solution involves generating customized media representations based on historical viewing behavior, identifying 'hotspots' of marketable images that are frequently viewed, and selecting representative images to create a media asset suitable for efficient communication to end-user devices, reducing the number of images needed and optimizing them for available communication resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a large number of media representations are rendered for visual navigation of three-dimensional objects, then the completeness and detail of object representation is improved, but the consumption of communication resources (bandwidth and communication channels) increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the most relevant views of the three-dimensional object based on historical viewing data, rather than transmitting all possible views. By identifying and extracting only the marketable views that users are most likely to examine, the system reduces the quantity of media representations transmitted while maintaining the essential information content that users need.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of view selection from a static comprehensive approach to a dynamic approach based on historical viewing behavior. By analyzing viewing patterns and determining which views have the highest marketable value, the system adapts the set of transmitted media representations to match actual user preferences, thereby reducing data transmission while preserving important visual information.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all possible views of a three-dimensional object are transmitted to ensure complete visualization, then the user's ability to examine the object thoroughly is improved, but the bandwidth and communication channel requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of historical viewing data to identify which views of the object are most valuable to users before actually transmitting any media representations. By pre-determining the marketable views based on past user behavior, the system prepares an optimized set of images that will satisfy user examination needs without requiring transmission of all possible views, thus reducing bandwidth consumption in advance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a simplified copy of the complete object visualization by selecting only the most representative views based on historical data. Instead of transmitting all possible views, the system generates a condensed set of marketable views that replicate the essential examination capability users would get from viewing the complete object, thereby achieving similar user satisfaction with reduced data transmission.
3Quantity of substance
If the number of media representations is reduced to conserve communication resources, then bandwidth consumption is decreased, but the perceived quality of service may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the system to automatically determine which views are most valuable to users by analyzing historical viewing data itself, without requiring manual curation or user feedback. This self-service approach allows the system to autonomously optimize the set of transmitted media representations, selecting views that have proven to be most useful to users in the past, thereby maintaining service quality while reducing data transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses historical viewing data as feedback to continuously improve the selection of media representations transmitted to users. By analyzing past user behavior patterns, the system receives feedback on which views are most valuable and adjusts its transmission strategy accordingly, ensuring that the reduced set of images still meets user quality expectations while conserving bandwidth resources.

AI summary
Devices, systems, techniques, and computer program products are provided for customized media representation of a three-dimensional object. Such representation can be based at least on information indicative of viewing behavior or viewing preference of one or more consumers generated in response to digital-based perusal of objects, such as consumer electronics, apparel, books, toys, and the like, and/or communication resources available to a device that permits or facilitates the perusal. The customized media representation can comprise a media asset formatted according to a non-motion-picture format or a motion-picture format.
