Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in easily merging and sharing digital media collected during travels in an organized and easily distributable format, requiring a system to create and render interactive three-dimensional tours from various digital media sources.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that collect media objects from user profiles based on time and velocity values, organizing them into trip segments and rendering them into interactive tours and digital videos, incorporating geo-referenced data and selected presentation styles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If digital media is collected from multiple user profiles and media sources, then the quantity and variety of media increases, but the complexity of organizing and merging the media increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the collected media into distinct trip segments based on geolocation data and velocity thresholds. Each trip segment represents a coherent travel episode, automatically dividing the large collection of media into manageable, meaningful groups that are easier to organize and process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses geolocation data and velocity calculations as intermediary elements to automatically organize media. These intermediaries serve as the basis for grouping media into trip segments, eliminating the need for manual organization and reducing complexity.
2Measurement precision
If media objects are organized into trip segments based on velocity and geolocation, then the organization accuracy increases, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculations of velocity and geolocation data as media objects are collected. By pre-processing this organizational information during the collection phase rather than during the organization phase, the system achieves high organization accuracy without significantly increasing overall processing time.
3Ease of manufacture
If interactive tours are rendered with geo-referenced data and presentation styles, then the quality and engagement of the output increases, but the rendering complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different presentation styles and rendering parameters based on the characteristics of each trip segment. By dynamically adjusting rendering parameters such as map view, media layout, and navigation style based on segment properties, the system produces high-quality varied outputs without requiring complex manual configuration for each tour.

AI summary
Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums for rendering a geo-referenced interactive tour using media objects associated with a user. An exemplary method includes collecting the media objects from one or more selected user profiles associated with the user. Each media object is collected based on an associated time value. The collected media objects are organized into one or more trip segments based on velocity value associated with each collected media object, the velocity value indicating the velocity of travel between two media objects. At least one trip segment is rendered into the interactive tour. The trip segment is rendered to include its media objects and geo-referenced data. The geo-referenced data is determined from at least one geolocation associated with a media object included in the trip segment. The media objects and geo-referenced data are rendered according to a presentation style that is selected based on the included media objects.
