Imaging Device Metadata Classification for Video Production
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional imaging systems are inefficient in recording and managing video/audio materials, as they do not effectively utilize metadata to optimize the recording process, leading to increased editing time and complexity in program production.
Innovation Solution
An imaging device with an input unit for recording support information, a managing unit that classifies video/audio information based on this metadata, and an index information generator to collectively manage and record the classified information, allowing for accurate and efficient classification and management of video/audio materials.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional imaging systems record materials without effective metadata utilization, then the recording process is simple, but the editing time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification and organization of video/audio materials during the recording phase by automatically generating and attaching metadata (such as scene information, time stamps, and material identifiers). This preliminary action reduces the burden during subsequent editing operations, thereby decreasing editing time while improving overall program production efficiency
2Productivity
If manual metadata input is used in conventional systems, then the system construction is simple, but the labor intensity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device automatically generates metadata including material identification information, time information, and scene information during the recording process without requiring manual input. The system self-services by autonomously organizing and managing video/audio materials with attached metadata, thereby improving material management efficiency while avoiding increased system complexity through automated rather than manual processes
3Ease of operation
If video/audio materials are recorded without automated classification, then the recording operation is straightforward, but the material organization and retrieval become inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of video/audio materials during recording by automatically generating metadata that includes scene information, time stamps, and material identifiers. This preliminary organization action enables efficient material retrieval during editing operations, reducing the time required for material organization while improving ease of operation

AI summary
In recording materials of a video program or the like, the video materials are efficiently and optimally acquired so that processing steps in and after an editing step subsequent to a recording step can be reduced. A recording support information (metadata) on a schedule of and a performer for an imaging operation, and the like, which are determined in advance is recorded in a first recording medium 16 by a program constitution input device 100. The first recording medium 16 is inserted in to an imaging device 200, materials to be recorded are classified and confirmed based on the metadata, and the materials which can constitute a desirable program as potentially as possible are acquired in the recording operation.
