Solution Overview

Problem

In conventional extended reality environments, extending a flat video into a 360° space results in a fixed timemark view, making it difficult to modify the extended video and adapt it to viewer interactions.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus that extracts events from an upload video, sets timemarks for each event, and outputs keyword-related images and texts dynamically, allowing continuous adaptation based on viewer interaction patterns.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a flat video is manually extended into a 360° space and distributed, then the video viewing area is expanded, but the timemark view becomes fixed and difficult to modify

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo viewing areaVSAvoidtimemark view modifiability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic timemark views that automatically adjust and update based on viewer position and interaction patterns. The timemark view transitions from a static fixed state to a dynamic state that continuously adapts to viewer behavior, allowing modification without manual intervention while maintaining the expanded 360° viewing area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Stability of the object's composition

If the timemark view is fixed after video extension, then the extended video structure is stable, but it becomes difficult to further modify the extended video

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextended video structureVSAvoidvideo modification ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that automatically detect viewer interaction patterns and use this information to dynamically update the timemark view. This feedback loop enables continuous modification of the timemark view based on real-time viewer behavior, eliminating the need for manual restructuring while preserving the overall extended video structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual expansion of flat video is required, then the extended reality environment can be created, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextended reality capabilityVSAvoidvideo processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service automation where the apparatus automatically extracts events from the video, generates appropriate timemarks, and dynamically updates the timemark view based on viewer interactions. This eliminates the need for manual video expansion and timemark creation, significantly reducing processing complexity while maintaining extended reality capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
