Highlight Marker Setting in Video Recording Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in automatically extracting and marking user-preferred highlight scenes in video and audio data, especially when user preferences vary and quick marking can lead to shaky videos or noisy recordings.
Innovation Solution
A method that sets a marker at an earlier position when a dedicated button is pressed for a predetermined period, recording weight information and marker address information, allowing for efficient indexing and playback of highlight scenes during shooting without disturbing the video.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a dedicated button is pressed for a predetermined period to set a marker, then the user can efficiently record highlight scenes without real-time stress, but the video may become shaky or noisy due to user intervention during shooting
Solution Approach 1:
The system sets the marker at a position earlier than the button press timing by a predetermined time period. This preliminary action allows the user to press the button after the highlight scene has already occurred, eliminating the need to time the press precisely during the scene and preventing video disruption.
2Extent of automation
If automatic highlight detection is implemented, then user-desired scenes can be extracted without intervention, but it fails to capture scenes that match specific user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines automatic highlight detection with user feedback through button presses. When the user presses the dedicated button, the system records this feedback and sets a marker at the calculated position, ensuring that user-preferred scenes are accurately captured while maintaining automation for standard highlights.

AI summary
One object of example embodiment is to provide arrangements for enabling a user to willfully record a highlight position and highlight importance without having to perform any burdensome procedure during highlight scene shooting. When a highlight button acquisition information and weight information input from a user interface 103 are acquired in a situation where a system control section 101 retains a predetermined time-shift time, the system control section 101 calculates marker information that includes the weight information and the information about a position earlier by the time-shift time, and records the marker information on a recording medium 105 via a drive control section 104.
