Film Sequence Creation via Event Identifier Indexing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for selecting and viewing relevant events from film source material, such as long political or sporting events, are inefficient due to high data volume and subjective journalist-driven editing, leading to missed important events during fast-forwarding and limited user control over viewing experiences.
Innovation Solution
A method that automatically assigns event identifiers to film source material using manual or image recognition evaluation, allowing users to select and create film sequences based on specific event identifiers, with an automated procedure to include relevant events and their context, enabling quick and individualized viewing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If film source material is provided in full with manual fast-forwarding capability, then users can influence events to be displayed, but relevant events may be missed during fast-forwarding and viewing experience becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting and identifying relevant events in the film source material without requiring manual intervention. The event detection system autonomously analyzes the complete film material, assigns event identifiers to relevant events, and creates playback sequences automatically, eliminating the need for users to manually fast-forward while ensuring no relevant events are missed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual fast-forwarding system with an automated computer-based event detection and identification system. Instead of relying on users to manually control playback speed and identify events, the system uses automated algorithms to detect events, assign identifiers, and create organized playback sequences, thereby maintaining both user control and event detection reliability.
2Loss of information
If complete examination of film source material is performed by journalists, then comprehensive look at processes is achieved, but strong subjective impact and limited user control over personally interested events
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the film source material into distinct event units by assigning unique event identifiers to individually detectable events. This segmentation allows the complete film material to be processed comprehensively while enabling users to selectively access only the events of their interest through the identifier system, thereby achieving both completeness and personalization.
Solution Approach 2:
The event detection and identification system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it comprehensively examines the entire film source material, objectively identifies all relevant events, assigns standardized identifiers, and enables both professional journalistic processing and user-specific personalization. The system can serve different user needs through the same universal event identification framework.
3Productivity
If manual or automated evaluation assigns event identifiers to film source material, then rapid and individualized viewing is enabled, but data volume and processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a digital copy or index of event identifiers that corresponds to the film source material timeline. By assigning event identifiers to specific time positions in the film, the system creates a searchable index that enables rapid access to events without requiring complex real-time processing during playback, thus improving speed while managing complexity through pre-processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The event detection and identification is performed as a preliminary action on the complete film source material before user viewing. The system analyzes the entire film, assigns event identifiers to all relevant events, and stores this information in an organized structure. This preliminary processing enables rapid individualized viewing during actual use without requiring complex real-time analysis, thereby improving productivity while managing system complexity.

AI summary
The method involves providing a list of different types of event identifiers, where each specific event is an optional action documented on a film source material. The film source material is evaluated by assigning different event identifiers corresponding to the events mapped on the film source material. A logic operation is applied on a selected event identification highlight (100). An independent claim is also included for a computer program product for operating on computer.
