Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional methods for capturing and presenting video content of live events often fail to provide an optimal viewing experience, as they rely on static camera positions and lack dynamic adjustment based on audience members' viewpoints, leading to suboptimal content selection and presentation.

Innovation Solution

The system determines the point of view of multiple audience members, aggregates video content streams, and generates augmented reality content by selecting and combining relevant streams and sensor information, providing a dynamic and immersive experience through machine learning techniques and IoT device control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If static camera positions are used to capture video content of live events, then the capturing system is simple and reliable, but the viewing experience is suboptimal and lacks adaptability to audience members' viewpoints

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadaptability to audience viewpointsVSAvoidcamera positioning system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static camera positions to dynamic camera positioning. The system determines real-time points of view of audience members and dynamically adjusts camera positions or selects from multiple cameras to match audience interests, thereby improving adaptability while managing complexity through controlled dynamic adjustment rather than complete repositioning

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the capturing system into multiple cameras positioned at different locations, each capturing specific portions of the live event. This segmentation allows the system to select and aggregate relevant video content streams from different cameras based on audience viewpoints, achieving adaptability without requiring a single complex dynamic camera system

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If traditional video content capture methods are used, then the system is easy to operate, but the content selection and presentation are suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent selection precisionVSAvoidsystem operation simplicity

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by implementing automated content selection and aggregation based on audience member points of view. The system automatically determines which video content streams are most relevant to the current audience interest and aggregates them without requiring manual intervention, thereby improving content selection precision while maintaining ease of operation through automation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors audience member points of view and adjusts content selection accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that the most relevant video content is selected and presented in real-time, improving precision while the automated feedback processing maintains operational simplicity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If multiple video content streams from different cameras are aggregated, then the viewing experience and situational awareness are improved, but the system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveviewing experience qualityVSAvoidvideo aggregation system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple video content streams from different cameras into a unified aggregated output. By combining the strengths of multiple camera views, the system provides comprehensive situational awareness and improved viewing experience. The merging process is managed through controlled aggregation algorithms that integrate relevant streams without requiring complete system reconfiguration

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a multi-functional video aggregation system that can process multiple camera streams, determine audience interests, select relevant content, and generate comprehensive viewing experiences. This universal approach allows a single system to handle various viewing scenarios and audience preferences without requiring separate specialized systems for each function

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
