Dynamic Video Generation via Clip Library Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video streaming services lack the flexibility to provide personalized video experiences tailored to individual viewer preferences and locations, often resulting in unsatisfactory viewing experiences due to fixed video editions and advertisement scheduling constraints.
Innovation Solution
A method for dynamic video generation, where a video service provider receives viewer requests and matches them with video descriptor records to select and combine video clip files into a media file, considering viewer information, service provider policies, and distribution rights, allowing for customized video content and flexible advertisement insertion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple fixed video editions are produced for different markets, then each edition can be optimized for specific audience preferences, but viewers cannot access hybrid editions combining features from multiple editions
Solution Approach 1:
The video content is divided into multiple independent video clips, each representing a different scene or segment. These clips are organized in a library and can be selectively combined through cue slots to create customized video editions. This segmentation allows viewers to access hybrid editions by selecting specific clips from different source editions without requiring complex production processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static fixed editions to dynamic on-demand generation. Video editions are no longer pre-fixed but generated dynamically when requested, allowing the composition of videos to change based on viewer preferences. The cue slots and video clip library enable flexible recombination of content elements in real-time.
2Adaptability or versatility
If video portals insert advertisements at fixed schedules, then advertisement placement is simple to manage, but the video length becomes rigid and cannot accommodate different advertisement durations for different time slots
Solution Approach 1:
The video content is segmented into multiple clips that can be independently selected and combined. This segmentation allows the video duration to be dynamically adjusted by selecting different combinations of clips, enabling flexible accommodation of advertisement slots of varying durations without rigid fixed-length constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The video duration transitions from a fixed predetermined value to a dynamic parameter that can be adjusted on-demand. The system generates video editions with different durations based on advertisement requirements, allowing prime time slots to have longer durations for more advertisements and late night slots to have shorter durations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple directors are involved to create market-specific versions of live events, then each market receives customized content, but viewers traveling between markets cannot access hybrid versions suitable for their current location
Solution Approach 1:
The live event coverage is divided into multiple video clips captured from different camera angles and perspectives, each optimized for specific regional audiences. These clips are stored in a library and can be recombined on-demand to create hybrid editions that blend perspectives from multiple original productions, allowing travelers to access customized content regardless of their current location.
Solution Approach 2:
The video clip library and cue slot system creates a universal platform that can generate any combination of regional editions. A single infrastructure serves multiple markets and viewer preferences, eliminating the need for separate production systems for each region while maintaining the ability to deliver customized content.

AI summary
In the dynamic generation of video, a video service provider receives a video request from a video player over a data network. The video service provider matches the video request with a given video descriptor record of a plurality of video descriptor records. a video media file including a plurality of cue slots is generated according to the given video descriptor record using the video request. A plurality of video clip files in a video clip library is selected for the plurality of cue slots, and the plurality of video clip files are copied to the plurality of cue slots in the video media file. The video service provider then sends the video media file to the video player.
