Image Region Output Layout for Live Streaming and Archive Video
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic apparatuses struggle to efficiently manage and switch between regions for live streaming and archiving video, often requiring complex post-processing to adjust regions for optimal composition.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a system control unit that allows for easy identification and management of a first region for live streaming and a second region for archiving, incorporating metadata to indicate the first region within the second region, enabling efficient setting and output of preferred regions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If video data is output for archive without region information, then data completeness is maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates due to difficulty in identifying the live streaming region
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by embedding region information (coordinates, boundaries, or markers) into the archived video data at the time of recording. This allows the live streaming region to be identified later without requiring additional processing or external records, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining data completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses an intermediary approach by incorporating metadata or overlay information that indicates the first region within the second region data. This intermediary information acts as a bridge between the archived video and the original live streaming composition, enabling easy identification without losing the underlying video data integrity.
2Ease of operation
If region information is embedded in archived video data, then ease of operation improves for region identification, but device complexity increases due to additional data processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video data processing into distinct components: the main video content and the embedded region information. This segmentation allows the system to handle region identification separately from video playback, reducing overall device complexity while improving ease of operation for region resetting.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters by representing region information in simplified formats (such as coordinate pairs, boundary boxes, or standardized markers) that can be easily processed and interpreted. This parameter simplification reduces computational complexity while maintaining the ability to accurately identify and reset regions.
3Productivity
If multiple regions are output simultaneously, then productivity improves by providing both live streaming and archive data, but loss of information increases due to potential confusion between regions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different information characteristics for different regions: the first region (live streaming) and second region (archive) are clearly distinguished through embedded metadata, markers, or compositional indicators. This allows each region to maintain its specific quality and purpose while being output simultaneously, preventing confusion and maintaining information clarity.
