Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional media production pipelines are inefficient in creating personalized media programs that cater to specific viewer preferences, often resulting in media content that lacks logical structure and seamless playback, leading to a less engaging viewing experience for niche audiences.

Innovation Solution

A generative media pipeline that uses user data to determine personalized media program recipes, incorporating media processing functions to combine content options into cohesive, logically structured media programs tailored to individual viewer preferences, ensuring seamless playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional media production pipelines are used to create personalized media programs, then media content can be tailored to specific viewer preferences, but the production process becomes too time-consuming and complex to be practical

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidproduction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The media production pipeline is divided into modular components including content ingestion modules, processing modules, and output modules. Each module handles specific tasks independently, allowing personalized media programs to be assembled from pre-processed content segments rather than creating everything from scratch, thus reducing production time while maintaining personalization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Media content is pre-processed, tagged, and organized into reusable segments before personalization is needed. Templates and structural frameworks are prepared in advance, so that when a personalized media program needs to be created, the system can quickly assemble content using pre-defined structures rather than performing all processing steps in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If recommendation engines are used to provide personalized content, then viewer preferences can be targeted, but the output lacks logical structure and seamless playback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidlogical structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

A recipe service acts as an intermediary between the recommendation engine and the final media output. The recipe service receives content recommendations and applies structural templates, transitions, and logical organization rules to transform disconnected content segments into a cohesive media program with proper narrative flow and seamless playback, while preserving the personalized content selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If conventional media production pipelines are used, then media programs can maintain logical structure, but they cannot be efficiently personalized to specific viewer preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogical structureVSAvoidpersonalization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The media production pipeline transitions from a static, manual process to a dynamic, automated system. Templates and processing rules can be adjusted based on different personalization requirements, allowing the same infrastructure to efficiently produce both highly personalized content and structurally coherent programs by dynamically selecting and configuring appropriate templates and processing sequences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A generative media pipeline automatically creates a personalized media program that is customized to reflect the specific viewing preferences of at least one individual user. The generative media pipeline obtains user data indicating the viewing preferences associated with the user and optionally the viewing context of the user. A recommendation service within the generative media pipeline provides a set of content options that includes various types of media content corresponding to the viewing preferences. A recipe service within the generative media pipeline obtains a recipe that defines the logical structure of the personalized media program. The recipe service populates the recipe by executing one or more video processing functions with some or all media content included in the content options. The recipe service thereby generates a logically structured and polished personalized media program that is individually tailored to reflect the specific preferences of the user.
