Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems struggle to accurately determine a viewer's interest or concern from social networking service data, leading to inadequate generation of relevant video content.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus that utilizes a specification unit to analyze scene-related information, including keywords and metadata, to generate a digest video by selecting and combining clip videos based on viewer interest, using imaging devices and social networking data to identify key scenes and events.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If video content is generated based on general SNS information, then content creation is simplified, but the ability to reflect specific viewer interest is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo content creationVSAvoidviewer interest detection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments SNS information into specific scene-related data (keywords, hashtags, posts) and processes it through multiple analysis units (specification unit, extraction unit, determination unit) to precisely identify viewer interests in specific scenes, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If scene-related information is extracted from SNS, then viewer interest can be identified, but the complexity of information processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescene interest identificationVSAvoidinformation processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The information processing system is divided into functional units: specification unit for defining scene-related information, extraction unit for obtaining data from SNS, and determination unit for selecting clip videos. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity while maintaining high measurement precision for scene interest identification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The specification unit acts as an intermediary that defines and standardizes scene-related information formats before processing. This intermediary layer simplifies the interaction between the extraction unit and determination unit, reducing processing complexity while maintaining accurate scene interest identification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If all captured video is processed, then complete scene coverage is achieved, but processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescene coverageVSAvoidvideo processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The extraction unit selectively extracts only the necessary scene-related information from SNS posts and the determination unit extracts relevant clip videos based on extracted information. This extraction approach maintains complete scene coverage reliability while significantly improving processing efficiency by avoiding unnecessary analysis of unrelated video content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Measurement precision

If auxiliary information is used for video selection, then viewer interest reflection improves, but the difficulty of determining appropriate scenes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer interest reflectionVSAvoidscene selection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses auxiliary information from SNS (keywords, hashtags, post content) as feedback to guide the determination unit in selecting appropriate clip videos. This feedback mechanism improves viewer interest reflection while reducing selection difficulty by providing clear criteria for scene identification and filtering

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
