Location-Based Video Service Server for GPS-Matched Playlists
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Consumers face difficulty in finding videos that match their individual tastes and desired locations due to the lack of clear location information in existing video content, making it time-consuming to discover relevant content.
Innovation Solution
A location-based video service system that registers branch points, spots, and videos with GPS coordinates, allowing users to request and receive customized playlists based on location-related search words, with additional information on nearby spots and events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If video content is freely registered by individuals or businesses without structured location information, then video production freedom is maintained, but consumers cannot easily find videos matching their desired locations and tastes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments video information into distinct components: location information (GPS coordinates, branch points, spots), video content metadata, and user preference data. This segmentation allows the system to organize freely registered videos into structured location-based playlists without restricting content creators' freedom, enabling consumers to efficiently search and discover videos by location while maintaining production flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary server that acts as a mediator between video creators and consumers. The server automatically extracts location information from video content, matches it with registered branch points and spots, and generates location-based playlists. This intermediary process structures unstructured video data without requiring changes to the creation process, resolving the contradiction between operational ease and system complexity
2Loss of information
If location information is added to video content to enable location-based search, then video discoverability improves, but processing and managing location data increases system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-registering location data (branch points, spots, GPS coordinates) in a database before video processing. When videos are uploaded, the system compares extracted location information against this pre-established database to automatically match and associate videos with relevant locations. This preliminary structuring of location data simplifies the processing of video content and reduces the complexity of managing location information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating standardized location data structures that can be reused across multiple videos. Once location information is extracted and matched for one video, the same location database and matching logic serve subsequent videos. This copying approach eliminates redundant processing and reduces system complexity while maintaining complete location information across all videos
3Loss of time
If videos are organized by location information, then users can easily find location-specific content, but the system requires sophisticated location matching and playlist generation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically generate location-based playlists without manual intervention. The server autonomously extracts location information from video metadata, matches it with registered branch points and spots, determines user preferences based on search history and profile data, and generates personalized playlists. This automation eliminates time-consuming manual video search while the modular architecture manages playlist generation complexity through standardized matching algorithms
Data Source
AI summary
A location-based video service server includes a database, a data registration processor to determine a branch point in a specific area and match and register an ID of the determined branch point and location information on a map, perform processing and ID assignment for each of a video provided from a video providing server, and match and manage a spot associated with each video, branch point information for each timeline, and information on an entire movement line connecting branch points of all timelines, and a video provider to provide a spot and a map of a corresponding area matched to the location-related search word when a location-related search word is received from a user terminal, generate a playlist by searching a video including at least one spot selected by a user in response to a request for the video including the spot, and provide the video according to the playlist.
