Solution Overview

Problem

Editors face difficulty in maintaining concentration during final confirmation of edited content, leading to potential incompleteness in edited data due to repetitive viewing of content, which may result in incomplete content being created.

Innovation Solution

An editing device that measures the reproduction count of each clip, classifies clips into types based on this count, and adds marks to control the reproduction process, ensuring focused final confirmation by distinguishing between clips requiring attention, easy confirmation, and ordinary review.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the editor reproduces all the content for final confirmation, then the completeness of edited content can be verified, but the editor's concentration wanes due to repetitive viewing

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompleteness verificationVSAvoideditor concentration duration

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The content is divided into multiple clips, and each clip is assigned a reproduction count. This segmentation allows the system to track and manage reproduction instances at a granular level, enabling selective marking of clips that require attention during final confirmation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different visual marks are applied to different clips based on their reproduction counts. Clips with lower reproduction counts receive marks indicating they require higher concentration, while clips with higher reproduction counts receive different marks. This local differentiation helps the editor maintain concentration by directing attention to specific areas needing review.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If the editor repeatedly reproduces content to confirm edited parts, then editing accuracy can be improved, but the editor becomes tired and concentration decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveediting accuracyVSAvoideditor fatigue

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides visual feedback in the form of marks on clips during final confirmation, indicating how many times each clip has been reproduced. This feedback mechanism helps the editor understand which clips have been sufficiently reviewed and which need more attention, reducing unnecessary repetitive viewing and associated fatigue.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-calculates and displays the reproduction counts for each clip before the editor performs final confirmation. This preliminary information allows the editor to plan their review strategy, focusing attention on clips that require more scrutiny while potentially reducing review of clips that have already been viewed multiple times.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the editor makes final decision without sufficient concentration, then the editing process can be completed quickly, but incomplete editing may occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveediting speedVSAvoidediting completeness

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses visual marks (which may include color variations) to indicate the reproduction status of different clips. These visual cues quickly communicate which clips need more attention, allowing the editor to maintain high concentration only where necessary and thus complete the editing process efficiently without compromising completeness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

An editing device includes an editing unit that partially edits content constituted of a plurality of clips using the clip as a unit, the clip including a moving image; a measurement unit that, each time the edited part of the content is reproduced by the editing unit, by measuring the part as each single reproduction of the clip which includes the interior portions or the connection points, measures the total count of the respective plurality of clips; a clip setting unit that sets each of the plurality of clips to at any of a plurality of types of clip based on the measured total count; a mark adding unit that performs an image process for adding a mark in accordance with the set type to at least a part of the content; and a reproduction control unit that controls reproduction of the content being subjected to the image process.
