Image Display Device Character Video Playback Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image display devices lack the ability to selectively play major playback sections associated with specific characters in videos and provide an intuitive way to indicate playback progress, making it difficult for users to conveniently navigate and understand the significance of characters within the video content.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that allow users to select characters within a video, extract major playback sections based on character presence, and display progress bars with varying images representing the significance of characters, enabling users to selectively view major portions of the video and understand character importance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the entire video is played, then the user can view all content, but the user cannot efficiently locate or review specific character appearances
Solution Approach 1:
The video playback timeline is segmented into multiple sections, with at least one section dedicated to character-specific playback. The progress bar is divided into a first progress bar representing the entire video and a second progress bar representing the character-specific major playback section, allowing users to independently navigate and control different portions of the video content.
2Loss of information
If character significance is indicated visually, then user understanding improves, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Different visual properties are applied to different portions of the progress bar based on character significance. At least a portion of the second progress bar is displayed in a first color, while other portions are displayed in a second color different from the first color, with the color selection based on calculated character significance. This allows information encoding without adding complex controls.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an image display device including a display unit for playing video and a control method thereof, and the method may include selecting at least one of characters contained in video, searching at least one region containing the selected character within the entire region of a frame using at least one frame provided in the video, extracting a major playback section containing the selected character based on at least one of the size and location of the retrieved at least one region, and playing the extracted major playback section.
