Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple videos from mobile and fixed cameras are displayed on one screen, then the user can see videos from multiple mobile bodies, but it is impossible to generate and provide one unified useful video using videos from both mobile terminal and fixed camera
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges videos from mobile terminals and fixed cameras into a single unified video output. The video generator combines multiple video streams by matching their attribute values (positional information, time information, environment information) to create one integrated video that incorporates footage from both mobile and fixed sources, thereby achieving versatile video integration while managing processing complexity through systematic attribute-based matching.
2Loss of information
If videos are combined using attribute values including positional and time information, then one unified video can be generated, but the processing complexity increases due to matching and synchronization requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces attribute values as an intermediary mechanism to facilitate video synchronization and matching. By comparing attribute values (positional information, time information, environment information) between mobile and fixed videos, the system achieves accurate synchronization without requiring complex direct processing of video streams themselves. This intermediary approach maintains synchronization accuracy while reducing overall processing complexity.
3Measurement precision
If the system selects videos based on priority of video type and positional conditions, then appropriate videos can be selected for combination, but the selection process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs parameter-based video selection by evaluating multiple attributes including video type priority, positional information proximity to predetermined locations, and time information matching. The system changes and compares these parameters systematically to determine which videos should be combined, achieving precise video selection through parameter evaluation rather than complex heuristic processing.
4Reliability
If user approval is required for mobile video transmission based on use condition flags, then user intent and rights can be respected, but the video acquisition process becomes slower
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary user consent mechanisms where users pre-approve or deny mobile video transmission through use condition flags before videos are captured or transmitted. This preliminary action ensures reliable user consent and rights protection while avoiding time delays during actual video acquisition, as the approval status is already determined in advance and can be quickly checked during video collection.

AI summary
Conventionally, an effective video cannot be generated using a video captured by a mobile terminal and a video captured by a fixed camera. Provided with an information processing device 1 including: a video obtainer 133 configured to obtain a mobile video captured by a mobile terminal 2 and obtain a fixed video captured by a fixed camera; a video generator 134 configured to generate a combined video by combining the mobile video and the fixed video in a time series manner or a merged video by merging at least a part of frames included in the mobile video and at least a part of frames included in the fixed video in a spatial manner; and a video transmitter 142 configured to transmit the combined video or the merged video generated by the video generator 134.
