Medical Video Processing System for Presentation Time Constraints
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Medical video processing systems face challenges in efficiently editing video files to fit within a predetermined time frame for presentations, requiring significant workload adjustments, especially when dealing with multiple video files.
Innovation Solution
A medical video processing system that includes a storage unit, display unit, section setting unit, calculation unit, and clip storage unit, allowing users to freely set video sections, calculate time overlaps, and shorten video files to a predetermined length, thereby simplifying the editing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video files are clipped to fit within a predetermined time frame for presentations, then the suitability for presentation is improved, but the editing workload increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically calculating section overlaps and determining optimal clipping points before the user finalizes the edit. The calculation unit pre-computes the time slots and overlap information, so when the user designates a section, the system has already prepared the data needed for immediate clipping, eliminating the need for manual trial-and-error editing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system serves itself by automatically handling the complex calculations and clipping operations without requiring manual intervention. The calculation unit autonomously computes section overlaps, and the clip storage unit automatically performs the video clipping based on the calculated parameters, making the system self-sufficient in reducing editing workload.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple video files are edited individually to adjust time lengths, then each video can be precisely controlled, but the total editing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the editing process for multiple video files by calculating section overlaps across all files simultaneously. The calculation unit processes multiple video files together, computing their respective time slots and overlaps in a unified operation, and the clip storage unit clips all files based on this consolidated calculation, thereby reducing total editing time while maintaining precise control over each file's final length.
3Quantity of substance
If the video file length is not standardized, then more content can be included, but additional editing workload is required for time adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of video file length by introducing a predetermined time frame as a new constraint parameter. The clip storage unit automatically adjusts the video length to match this parameter by clipping at the calculated section overlap boundaries, thereby standardizing the output length while minimizing the editing workload through automated parameter-based clipping.

AI summary
When one or multiple video files that correspond to at least a part of preset sections are read out from a storage unit, a length of time of a section overlap, which represents a time slot that overlaps the section among from one or more time slots over which the read video file(s) are recorded, is calculated, and the video file(s) that corresponds to the time code contained in the section overlap having been subjected to calculation are clipped and stored in a predetermined storage area, the medical video processing system can carry out, when the length of time of the section overlap (for example, 32 minutes and 10 seconds) exceeds a predetermined length of time (for example 30 minutes), a shortening process that shortens the length of time of the video file(s) to be stored in the predetermined storage area, down to a predetermined length of time or shorter.
