Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional multimedia platforms fail to customize multimedia streams for different users due to the burden of generating alternative broadcasts, resulting in sub-optimal viewing experiences for users with varying preferences.

Innovation Solution

A system that intelligently generates customized multimedia streams by combining shared and customized content segments, ensuring a standardized initial and terminating experience while adapting intermediate portions to individual user preferences using video processing and stitching techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If standardized multimedia broadcasts are provided to all users, then uniform viewing experience is ensured, but user engagement and satisfaction deteriorate due to lack of personalization

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoidprocessing burden

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The multimedia broadcast is divided into multiple segments that can be selectively assembled. The system segments content into common portions (shared by all users) and customized portions (specific to user preferences), allowing efficient processing and personalization without requiring complete customization of entire broadcasts.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different portions of the multimedia stream are treated differently based on their relevance to user preferences. Common segments maintain standardized quality for all users, while specific segments are customized to match individual user preferences, optimizing both personalization and processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If alternative multimedia broadcasts are generated for different users, then user engagement improves, but processing burden and system complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovecustomizationVSAvoidprocessing efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the broadcast into reusable common portions and customizable portions, the system avoids regenerating entire broadcasts for each user. The common segments are processed once and shared across multiple users, significantly improving processing efficiency while still enabling customization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary processing to identify and separate common segments from customizable segments before distribution. This advance preparation allows for efficient assembly of personalized streams without requiring intensive real-time processing for each user.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If complete customization of multimedia streams is implemented, then user satisfaction increases, but transition smoothness and viewing continuity may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoidstream continuity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The stream is segmented into common and customized portions with clearly defined boundaries. This segmentation allows for smooth transitions between standardized and personalized content, maintaining stream continuity while enabling customization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges common segments and customized segments into a unified stream with seamless transitions. By carefully coordinating the assembly and synchronization of these segments, the system maintains viewing continuity while delivering personalized content.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

In some implementations, a system is capable of intelligently generating customized multimedia content streams that are distributed to different groups of users. The system generates the customized content streams such that the initial and terminating portions of the streams are shared between each of the content streams. The system adjusts the intermediate portions of the streams to, for example, the viewing preferences of each user group using alternate forms of content. In this regard, the customized content streams that have both customized portions and shared portions to provide a standardized yet adaptive viewing experience for all users.
