Innovation Solution

A platform that includes a storyboard component, director component, and editor component, utilizing machine-learning models to segment videos, determine attributes, and generate videos, enabling efficient video generation with automated workflows and reduced costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional content production tools are used, then human creators can produce content, but the workflow between different tools and participants is limited and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo production efficiencyVSAvoidworkflow integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate content production tools (video segmentation, storyboard generation, attribute determination, video selection, and editing) into a single integrated platform. This unified system allows different participants and tools to work together seamlessly, resolving the workflow integration complexity while improving overall video production efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The platform performs multiple functions within a single system: it segments videos, generates storyboards, determines video attributes, selects appropriate video clips, and performs automated editing. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate specialized tools, reducing workflow complexity while enhancing productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If automated machine-learning models are used for video generation, then productivity increases, but the extent of automation may reduce creative control

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo generation speedVSAvoidcreative workflow control
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs machine-learning models that automatically perform video segmentation, storyboard generation, attribute determination, and video selection without requiring constant human intervention. This self-service capability accelerates video production while maintaining creative direction through the integrated platform's coordinated operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If multiple separate tools are used for different video production tasks, then specific tasks can be performed with specialized tools, but the overall process becomes more complex and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask execution qualityVSAvoidnumber of production tools
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple specialized video production tools into a single unified platform that handles segmentation, storyboard generation, attribute analysis, video selection, and editing. This consolidation maintains the specialized capabilities of each function while eliminating the complexity and cost of managing multiple separate tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified platform performs diverse video production functions within a single system, providing both specialized task execution and integrated workflow management. This multi-functionality ensures high-quality task execution while reducing the overall number of tools required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
