Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video advertisement methods disrupt the viewer experience by inserting fixed-time or fixed-position advertisements, which can be distracting and inefficient, especially in live streaming and short video scenarios where audience engagement and resource management are critical.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for detecting target objects in video images, determining feature points, and strategically placing business objects, such as advertisements, using computer graphics to integrate them seamlessly into the video without additional network data transmission, ensuring minimal disruption to the viewer experience and optimizing resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If fixed-time or fixed-position advertisements are inserted in video broadcasting, then advertisement delivery is simple and reliable, but viewer experience deteriorates due to distraction and disruption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement delivery reliabilityVSAvoidviewer experience disruption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by selecting specific regions within the video frame for advertisement placement based on detected target objects and their feature points. Instead of fixed-position advertising, the system dynamically identifies suitable local areas (such as background regions away from main subjects) to display advertisements, thereby reducing disruption to viewer experience while maintaining reliable advertisement delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making advertisement positions adaptive rather than static. The system continuously detects target objects and calculates appropriate display positions based on real-time video content analysis, allowing advertisement locations to dynamically adjust according to the video scene, thus minimizing disruption while ensuring reliable delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If advertisements are transmitted as separate video data through the network, then advertisement content can be freely customized, but network resources and system resources are consumed excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement content customizationVSAvoidnetwork and system resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges advertisement rendering with the video playback process by generating advertisements locally on the client device using computer graphics based on detected video content features. This combination eliminates the need to transmit separate advertisement video data through the network, reducing resource consumption while maintaining content customization capabilities through dynamic generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by generating visual representations of advertisements through computer graphics that mimic the style and integration of native video content. Instead of transmitting actual advertisement video files, the system creates graphical copies that are rendered in real-time, significantly reducing network bandwidth and system resource requirements while preserving customization flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Device complexity

If advertisements are placed at fixed positions in the video broadcasting area, then implementation is simple and device complexity is low, but advertisement effectiveness deteriorates due to poor integration with video content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation complexityVSAvoidadvertisement effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by detecting target objects and calculating optimal advertisement display positions in advance during video processing, before the actual advertisement rendering occurs. This pre-computation of suitable positions based on video content analysis enables effective advertisement placement without significantly increasing implementation complexity, as the positioning logic is established beforehand.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
