Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If video signature method is used to detect advertisement videos, then advertisement detection accuracy is improved, but computation complexity increases making it difficult to apply on devices with limited memory capacity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement detection accuracyVSAvoidcomputation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video processing task into two distinct phases: an offline training phase where a neural network model is trained using video signature data, and an online detection phase where the trained model performs lightweight inference. This segmentation allows the computationally intensive work to be done once during training, while the actual advertisement detection during live streaming requires minimal computation, making it suitable for devices with limited memory capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by training the neural network model in advance using a dataset of video signatures. The trained model is then stored and reused for multiple advertisement detection tasks. This preliminary training phase prepares the system so that during actual live streaming, only lightweight inference is needed, avoiding the need to perform complex video signature analysis in real-time on resource-constrained devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If real-time advertisement detection is implemented during live streaming, then user convenience is improved, but computation resources are excessively consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidcomputation resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a simplified copy of the advertisement detection capability through the trained neural network model. Instead of performing full video signature analysis on every live-streamed video, the system uses the trained model which has learned the essential patterns during offline training. This copied knowledge allows for fast, low-resource inference that maintains advertisement detection functionality while consuming minimal computation resources during live streaming.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If video signature analysis is performed on live-streamed videos, then advertisement identification capability is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement identification capabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs the computationally intensive video signature analysis and pattern learning in advance during the offline training phase. The neural network model is trained using numerous video samples and their corresponding signatures, building a comprehensive understanding of advertisement patterns. During live streaming, the system only needs to perform fast inference using the pre-trained model, dramatically reducing processing time while maintaining high advertisement identification capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An electronic device including: a communication interface; a memory to store at least one instruction; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to receive a first video including a plurality of frames from an external device through the communication interface, acquire reference data corresponding to an advertisement video included in the first video based on a first sequence acquired based on red, green, and blue (RGB) values of the plurality of frames included in the first video, and compare a second sequence corresponding to a second video received from the external device with the reference data to determine whether the second video is the advertisement video.
