Media Service Platform Directed Graph Entity Parsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing media services, such as YouTube and Amdocs Vubiquity, lack advanced creative capabilities for end users, including automatic composition of new media from filtered fragments, contextual navigation, and discovery of relationships between media fragments, events, or personages, due to the unstructured nature of media content.
Innovation Solution
A media service platform that parses media content into a directed graph, where vertices represent entities and edges define relationships, enabling creative media capabilities like composing new media, generating story timelines, and providing concomitant recommendations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If media content is stored in unstructured format, then storage simplicity is maintained, but creative capabilities and relationship discovery are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The media content is segmented into discrete entities (vertices) and relationships (edges) within the directed graph. This segmentation allows the system to maintain the original unstructured media while creating a structured representation that enables creative capabilities and relationship discovery without altering the original media format.
Solution Approach 2:
The directed graph serves as an intermediary layer between the unstructured media content and the creative services. It mediates by transforming media content into a structured format that can be queried and manipulated to generate creative outputs, while the original media remains unchanged.
2Productivity
If manual composition of new media is used, then quality control is maintained, but time consumption and labor intensity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service media composition by allowing users to query the directed graph with simple criteria, and the system automatically retrieves and composes relevant media fragments. This eliminates the need for manual composition while maintaining quality through automated filtering and selection based on user-defined parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The directed graph is pre-built by parsing media content into entities and relationships before user queries arrive. This preliminary structuring enables rapid automated composition when users make queries, as the system can immediately traverse the pre-organized data without performing time-consuming analysis during the composition process.
3Ease of operation
If contextual navigation is provided, then media discovery is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The directed graph serves multiple functions simultaneously: it stores media content, indexes relationships, enables search queries, and facilitates navigation. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity by consolidating what would otherwise require separate systems into a single unified structure that handles all navigation and discovery tasks.
Data Source
AI summary
As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for a media service platform. A media content is parsed to a directed graph, where vertices of the directed graph correspond to entities in the media content and edges of the directed graph define relationships between the entities. One or more creative media capability services are provided, using the directed graph.
