Dynamic Video Stickers for Live Content Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video creation platforms lack the ability to provide dynamically generated, live content or content obtained from third-party datastores, limiting user engagement and interaction with additional information related to the video.
Innovation Solution
The method involves receiving a query with a search term for a sticker, obtaining content from a datastore, dynamically generating stickers based on the query, allowing users to select and place the stickers in a video, and storing metadata associated with the video, including sticker information for regeneration upon video consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If static emojis or icons are added to videos, then basic video decoration is achieved, but user engagement and interaction with additional information are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms static video content into dynamic content by introducing stickers that can be regenerated with live data. The system allows video stickers to be dynamically updated with current information (weather, sports scores, stock prices, news) while maintaining their position and appearance in the video, thereby adding adaptability and versatility without losing the original video context.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the static video and the dynamic information world. Stickers serve as mediators that can be overlaid on video content and dynamically populated with external data from third-party datastores, enabling interaction with additional contextual information while preserving the original video integrity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic content is added to videos, then user engagement is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video content into separate layers: the original video background and overlayable sticker elements. This segmentation allows independent handling of dynamic content generation and placement, reducing overall system complexity by modularizing the architecture into distinct components (video processor, sticker generator, datastore interface).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating sticker templates that can be regenerated multiple times with different data. Instead of storing multiple versions of dynamic content, the system stores template definitions and regenerates stickers as needed from third-party datastores, reducing complexity through template-based replication rather than manual content management.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If stickers are embedded directly in video files, then video playback is simple, but content cannot be updated after video creation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by regenerating sticker content at intervals or on-demand based on metadata instructions. Stickers are not statically embedded but periodically refreshed with new data from external sources, allowing content updates while maintaining a simple playback interface. The system can regenerate stickers based on time triggers, user interaction, or data availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining sticker templates, placement positions, and regeneration triggers during video creation. The metadata stored with the video contains instructions for future sticker generation, allowing the system to automatically update content without requiring complex real-time processing during playback, thus maintaining ease of operation.
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sticker options are generated, then user selection flexibility is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by generating a limited set of sticker variations rather than exhaustively generating all possible combinations. The system creates multiple sticker options with different data content or styles based on the query, allowing user selection flexibility while avoiding the time cost of generating excessive variations. The plurality of stickers is sufficient to provide choice without unnecessary processing overhead.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for dynamically generating stickers for use with a video. The methods and devices may dynamically generate a plurality of stickers in response to receiving a query with search terms for a sticker to add to a video being created. The plurality of stickers may include interactive content related to the search terms. The methods and devices may receive a selection of one or more of the stickers to include in the video. Upon an indication that a video is to be played, the methods and device may regenerate the selected stickers for the video with the content and provide video output with the video and one or more overlays with the selected stickers for presentation on a display.
