Solution Overview

Problem

Manual configuration of multimedia interest points is time-consuming and inefficient, leading to inaccuracies in labeling critical points in multimedia playback systems.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that collect redirection time data from users to segment multimedia content into time sections with the most recorded redirection time, identifying points of interest without requiring manual viewing, and accurately label these points on a progress bar for improved playback efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual configuration method is used to obtain multimedia interest points, then the labeling can be performed, but the workload is excessive and efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of obtaining interest pointsVSAvoidtime for manual configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically collects redirection time data from user interactions and uses this data to identify interest points without requiring manual configuration. The server autonomously segments multimedia content, analyzes redirection patterns, and determines interest points based on accumulated user behavior data, enabling the system to serve itself rather than relying on manual human input

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data collection by accumulating redirection time information from multiple user interactions before actually determining the interest points. This preliminary accumulation of user behavior data allows the system to make accurate automated decisions without manual intervention when actual interest point identification is needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If manual configuration method is used to obtain interest points, then the process can be completed, but the accuracy is insufficient and deviations occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of interest point labelingVSAvoidoperational simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects redirection time data from user interactions as feedback and uses this feedback to automatically adjust and determine interest points. By analyzing patterns in user redirection behavior, the system continuously improves the accuracy of interest point identification without requiring manual verification or adjustment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of watching multimedia content and manually marking interest points with an automated electronic system that analyzes redirection time data. This substitution eliminates human error and operational complexity while improving measurement precision through objective data analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
