Solution Overview

Problem

Current social video platforms face challenges in enabling effective collaboration among users for producing video content based on live events, such as newscasts or sporting events.

Innovation Solution

A method for automatically producing live video content involves receiving input video from user devices, processing it using object recognition and scene detection algorithms, generating a sequence of video clips, and sending them to client devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual collaboration methods are used for producing video content, then user interaction is possible, but productivity and real-time processing capability are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo content production efficiencyVSAvoidautomated processing level
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by implementing automated video processing capabilities that independently perform scene detection, object recognition, and clip generation without requiring manual intervention. The processor automatically receives input video, processes it through AI algorithms, and generates output clips, allowing the system to serve itself in the content production workflow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with automated computational processes. Instead of human operators manually editing and organizing video content, the system uses processors executing scene detection and object recognition algorithms to automatically generate video clips, substituting mechanical human labor with automated digital processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If automated processing is implemented, then productivity increases, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo processing speedVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video processing system is segmented into distinct functional modules: scene detection algorithms, object recognition algorithms, and clip generation processes. Each module handles a specific aspect of video processing independently, allowing the complex task of automated video production to be divided into manageable segments that can be processed in sequence by the processor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If real-time processing is performed, then collaboration efficiency improves, but use of energy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time content generationVSAvoidprocessor energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing video content through scene detection and object recognition before final clip generation. The processor identifies and tags scenes and objects in advance, organizing the video data structure beforehand, which enables faster real-time clip generation without requiring intensive energy consumption during the actual production moment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
