Solution Overview

Problem

Promoters in the music industry face challenges in quickly and cost-effectively generating targeted media trailers for music-related events, as creating customized promotional previews is time-consuming and costly.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for automatically generating media trailers by receiving user input specifying artists and trailer duration, selecting representative songs, arranging and equalizing clips, and integrating additional content to produce a cohesive media item for promotional purposes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If customized media trailers are manually produced, then the quality and targeting accuracy are improved, but the time consumption and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeting accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-service generation of media trailers by analyzing user listening data, automatically selecting relevant song clips, and assembling them into targeted trailers without requiring manual human intervention for each trailer production

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of trailer production from manual creative control to automated algorithmic control, using data-driven parameters such as user listening history, song popularity metrics, and event relevance to automatically determine trailer content and composition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If customized media trailers are manually produced, then the quality and targeting accuracy are improved, but the cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeting accuracyVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-service generation of media trailers by analyzing user listening data, automatically selecting relevant song clips, and assembling them into targeted trailers without requiring manual human intervention for each trailer production

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates standardized trailer templates and reuses song clip assets across multiple trailers, allowing high-quality targeted trailers to be generated through automated assembly of pre-approved content components rather than creating entirely new content each time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If multiple song clips are combined automatically, then the productivity is improved, but the coherence and quality control become challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeneration speedVSAvoidcoherence quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses automated algorithms to analyze and match parameters such as tempo, key, mood, and energy levels when selecting and sequencing song clips, ensuring coherent transitions and consistent quality without manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates quality control feedback mechanisms that evaluate the coherence and flow of generated trailers, automatically adjusting clip selection and sequencing to maintain high production standards while preserving rapid automated generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
