Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies fail to generate or provide video content that is more attractive to viewers or audiences in entertainment fields such as sports and plays.

Innovation Solution

An image processing apparatus that includes a feature motion determination unit, a trigger detection unit, and a generation unit. The apparatus analyzes the motion of a target, detects triggers from capturing or distribution data, and generates different distribution data based on the determined feature motions in response to trigger detection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional video distribution methods are used, then video content can be provided to viewers, but the video content is not attractive or engaging enough for viewers

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveattractiveness of video contentVSAvoidcomplexity of video processing system

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments video content into multiple camera angle views and identifies key moments through trigger detection. By dividing the video stream into selectable segments based on different camera angles and highlighting specific feature motions at detected triggers, the system makes content more attractive without requiring complete system redesign

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of video content to detect triggers and identify feature motions before distribution. By pre-processing video data to identify key moments and prepare multiple camera angle selections, the system enhances viewer engagement while managing complexity through advance preparation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If feature motions are extracted and highlighted in real-time, then viewer engagement is enhanced, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveviewer engagementVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system detects triggers and identifies feature motions in advance before final video generation. By performing trigger detection and feature motion identification as preliminary steps, the system prepares processed data that can be quickly assembled into engaging video content, reducing actual processing time when videos are generated

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the essential feature motions and key moments from video content rather than processing entire video streams. By isolating and extracting only the most engaging segments and highlight moments, the system enhances viewer engagement while minimizing the time and computational resources required for processing

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An image processing apparatus and the like that are able to generate or provide a more attractive video content are provided. An image processing apparatus includes: a feature motion determination unit that analyzes a motion of a target, based on capturing data, and determines a feature motion; a trigger detection unit that detects a trigger from the capturing data or distribution data for distribution to a viewer being generated from the capturing data; and a generation unit that extracts the determined feature motion of the target from the capturing data in response to detection of the trigger, and generates different distribution data for distribution to a viewer, based on the feature motion.
