Hypervideo Playback Plan for Asynchronous Meeting Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems fail to effectively support asynchronous meetings by losing interconnections between multiple meetings, leading to difficulties for participants who miss prior meetings and resulting in unproductive discussions.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system for automatic playback of hypervideo, which generates a user interface to follow links between video segments based on a playback plan, allowing for predetermined sequences of video playback, filtering out silence, and linking meetings based on user interests, participation, and topics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual link following is used for hypervideo navigation, then users can control playback manually, but navigation efficiency is low and users must manually locate and respond to discussions
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates a playback plan that determines the sequence of video segments to be played before the user actually views the content. This preliminary preparation of the playback sequence eliminates the need for users to manually navigate through multiple meetings to find relevant discussions, directly improving navigation efficiency and reducing time loss.
2Loss of information
If all meeting content is recorded and made available, then complete information is preserved, but users are overwhelmed with irrelevant content and must manually filter through everything
Solution Approach 1:
The playback plan extraction mechanism selectively extracts and sequences only the relevant video segments from the complete meeting records based on user profile, participation history, and meeting interconnections. This extracts the essential information needed by users while filtering out irrelevant content, maintaining information completeness without overwhelming users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically generates and executes the playback plan without requiring user intervention to filter or organize content. The playback plan self-determines the sequence of segments to play based on stored user preferences and meeting relationships, making the filtering process automatic and eliminating manual complexity for the user.
3Ease of operation
If meetings are treated as independent discussions, then each meeting can be managed separately, but interconnections between meetings are lost and context is unavailable
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the management of multiple independent meetings into a unified hypervideo structure where video segments from different meetings are linked together based on their interconnections. The playback plan combines segments from multiple meetings into a coherent sequence, preserving contextual relationships while maintaining the operational simplicity of individual meeting records.

AI summary
Provided is a computer-implemented method for a playback of a hypervideo, the hypervideo including multiple video segments from a multiple videos linked together using links, the method being performed in connection with a computerized system incorporating a central processing unit, a display device and a memory, the computer-implemented method involving: generating a user interface portion on the display device for the playback of the hypervideo; and performing the playback of the hypervideo in the generated user interface portion by automatically following the plurality of links linking the plurality of video segments such that at least some of the plurality of video segments are played in a predetermined sequence; wherein the plurality of links are followed based on a playback plan. The playback plan may include at least one rule for following the multiple links linking the video segments during the playback of the hypervideo.
