Location-Based Video System with AI Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video systems do not provide content that correlates with the user's location during travel or other situations, lacking a system to deliver location-based video content.
Innovation Solution
A location-based video system that includes a server with user information and a user computing device connected to the server, which receives location information, determines a search radius, retrieves location-tagged video content from the internet, and streams it to the user's device upon selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video content is provided without location-based filtering, then users can access any video content available on the internet, but the video content does not correlate with the user's current location or travel route
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-tags video content with location information (GPS coordinates, addresses, place names) during content ingestion and storage. This preliminary action enables the server to quickly match user location with relevant content without real-time complex processing, resolving the contradiction between location-based adaptability and system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a location-based video system with a server as an intermediary between users and internet video content. The server handles location data reception, content matching, and delivery, shielding users from complexity while providing location-adapted content. This intermediary resolves the contradiction by centralizing the adaptive logic
2Loss of information
If the system searches for location-tagged video content within a predetermined distance, then users receive relevant local content, but the system requires determining distance and filtering content based on location parameters
Solution Approach 1:
Video content is pre-tagged with location information including GPS coordinates, addresses, and place names during content upload and storage. This preliminary tagging enables efficient location-based retrieval without requiring complex real-time analysis, reducing filtering complexity while maintaining location relevance
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses predetermined distance parameters (e.g., radius in meters) to simplify the content filtering process. By converting complex location matching into a simple distance-based parameter comparison, the system maintains location relevance while reducing filtering complexity
3Ease of operation
If the system automatically streams selected video content through network connection, then users can immediately watch content without manual downloading, but the system requires receiving selection input and triggering automatic streaming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically streams video content to the user device without requiring manual download or additional user actions after selection. The server autonomously handles content delivery, format conversion, and stream initiation, improving playback convenience while keeping user interaction simple despite backend complexity
Data Source
AI summary
Described is a location based video system. The system includes a server having a memory storing user information and a user computing device coupled to the server. The user computing device operates an application to couple the user computing device to the server and to provide access to the location based video system. The server may be programmed to receive location information from the user computing device and determine a predetermined distance from the user computing device for searching for location tagged video content within the predetermined distance from the user computing device. The server may also be programmed to retrieve from an Internet source, the location tagged video content and send the video content for display and selection on the user computing device. The location tagged video content may then be played on the user computing device.
