Solution Overview

Problem

Existing media compilation systems face challenges in generating high-quality compilations due to the need for a large quantity of media items and difficulty in categorizing diverse media perspectives, leading to increased latency and reduced quality.

Innovation Solution

A system that determines a subset of media items based on sampling criteria such as popularity and importance, partitions them into bins based on characteristic dimensions like time, space, and view, and generates compilations from these subsets, minimizing the data required and processing time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a large quantity of media items are used to generate compilations, then the quality of the compilation is improved, but the processing time and latency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompilation qualityVSAvoidprocessing latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by determining subsets of media items and partitioning them into bins based on characteristic dimensions before compilation generation. This pre-organization of media items into structured groups enables faster access and processing during compilation generation, reducing latency while maintaining quality through selective sampling from pre-categorized subsets

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If diverse media perspectives are categorized in detail, then the quality of the compilation is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompilation qualityVSAvoidcategorization system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by partitioning media items into multiple bins based on different characteristic dimensions such as time, space, and view. This segmentation approach organizes diverse media perspectives into manageable, structured groups that can be efficiently processed and combined, maintaining high compilation quality through systematic categorization without overwhelming system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces multiple characteristic dimensions (time, space, view) as separate organizational axes for categorizing media items. By evaluating media items across multiple dimensions simultaneously, the system achieves comprehensive categorization of diverse perspectives while maintaining a structured, scalable framework that manages complexity through dimensional organization rather than monolithic classification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

An approach is provided for initiating generation of a media compilation based on one or more sampling criteria. A sampling platform determines at least one subset of one or more media items captured of at least one event. The sampling platform also partitions the at least one subset of the one or more media items into one or more bins and generates at least one compilation of the at least one subset of the one or more items based, at least in part, on whether the one or more media items in the one or more bins at least substantially meet one or more sampling criteria.
