Interactive Media Segment Selection and Summary Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of interactive media assets face challenges in deciding which segments to choose, especially when multiple users are watching together, as they may have different preferences and viewing experiences, leading to difficulties in discussing the media asset later.
Innovation Solution
A system that identifies and generates a subset of segments of an interactive media asset based on user profiles, allowing users to select from recommended options and enabling the generation of summaries for unchosen segments, thereby enhancing the viewing experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users are presented with multiple alternative segments to choose from in an interactive media asset, then the viewing experience becomes personalized and engaging, but users experience decision fatigue and difficulty in selecting segments
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates a subset of recommended alternative segments based on user profile data without requiring users to manually evaluate all available options. The system serves itself by autonomously curating content selections that align with user preferences, thereby resolving the contradiction between personalization and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of segment selection by transforming the raw alternative segments into a curated subset based on user profile parameters. This parameter transformation filters and prioritizes segments according to user preferences, making the selection process easier while maintaining personalization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users view the same interactive media asset with different segment choices, then each user has a personalized viewing experience, but users struggle to find common ground for discussion
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by generating summaries of alternative segments before users make their selections. These pre-generated summaries preserve information about unchosen segments, ensuring that all users have access to common discussion ground regardless of their individual viewing paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to users about alternative segments they did not view by generating and displaying summaries. This feedback mechanism ensures that users remain informed about other possible viewing experiences, maintaining common ground for discussion while still allowing personalized exploration.
3Loss of information
If the system generates summaries of unchosen segments, then users gain awareness of alternative content and discussion ground is maintained, but additional processing and time are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential information from alternative segments to create concise summaries. By taking out only the key elements needed for awareness rather than processing complete segment content, the system minimizes processing time while maintaining information awareness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies partial action by generating summaries for only the most relevant alternative segments rather than all possible segments. This selective approach provides sufficient awareness of alternative content while avoiding excessive processing time.

AI summary
Systems and methods are provided for providing an enhanced viewing experience for one or more users of an interactive media program. One example method includes receiving, at a computing device, the interactive media program, wherein the interactive media program comprises a plurality of alternative segments followed by a common segment. A selection of a first alternative segment is received and is generated for output. A summary of at least one segment from the plurality of alternative segments is generated, and the summary is generated for output. The common segment of the interactive media program is generated for output.
