Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for identifying viewer intent and context in multimedia content are manual, tedious, and inadequate for the scale of online video content, failing to automatically generate context-dependent keywords and keyphrases that effectively summarize important concepts.

Innovation Solution

The use of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Computer Vision (CV), machine learning (ML), and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to automatically generate context-dependent keywords and keyphrases from multimedia content, combining audio and visual analysis to capture the essence of the media.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual methods are used to create video indexes and transcripts, then the quality of viewer context information can be maintained, but the productivity and scalability are severely limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo content processing throughputVSAvoidviewer context accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables multimedia content to automatically generate its own context information through self-service mechanisms. ASR automatically transcribes speech, OCR automatically extracts text from visual elements, and CV automatically identifies objects and scenes, eliminating the need for manual annotation while maintaining high accuracy through multiple independent analysis pathways converging on the same content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The video content processing is divided into multiple independent segmentation tasks: speech-to-text conversion, text extraction from visual elements, object recognition, and scene analysis. Each segmentation is handled by specialized algorithms that can process different portions of the content simultaneously, dramatically increasing overall productivity while maintaining precision through focused specialization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If automated methods are used to generate video indexes and transcripts, then the productivity and scalability are improved, but the accuracy and quality of viewer context information deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic content processing speedVSAvoidcontext information accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple automated analysis methods are merged into a unified system where ASR, OCR, and CV results are combined and cross-validated. The system merges transcript data, extracted text, object labels, and scene descriptions into a cohesive context model, using the convergence of multiple independent analyses to verify and enhance accuracy while maintaining high processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediary processing layers that mediate between raw automated analysis outputs and final context information. These intermediaries include normalization modules, disambiguation algorithms, and context-aware filtering mechanisms that refine the outputs of ASR, OCR, and CV systems, ensuring high accuracy without sacrificing the automated processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If comprehensive video analysis is performed to capture all important concepts, then the viewer's viewing intent can be fully understood, but the time required to process and present the information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimportant concepts captureVSAvoidprocessing and presentation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most salient and relevant information from the comprehensive video analysis. Rather than presenting all detected objects, scenes, and concepts, the system identifies and extracts key themes, important entities, and critical information points, discarding redundant or less significant data to provide a concise summary that captures essential concepts without excessive processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis and prioritization of video content elements before final processing. By pre-identifying key themes, important segments, and high-value information during initial scanning, the system can focus detailed analysis only on these prioritized elements, capturing all important concepts while minimizing time spent on less critical content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
