Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing technologies struggle to accurately extract highlight segments, often misidentifying segments that are significantly different from the video content, leading to poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method that divides videos into segments and extracts multi-modal features using audio, image, and structured features, which are then fused and scored to identify highlight segments accurately.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional single-modal video processing is used, then the processing speed is fast, but the accuracy of highlight segment recognition is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehighlight segment recognition accuracyVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video processing system is segmented into multiple independent feature extraction modules (audio, video, text) that process different modalities separately, then combine results. This allows comprehensive multi-modal analysis without overwhelming system complexity, resolving the contradiction between recognition accuracy and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple feature types (audio features, video features, text features) into a composite multi-modal feature representation. This composite approach enables more accurate highlight segment recognition by leveraging complementary information from different modalities, while the modular architecture keeps processing complexity manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive multi-modal feature extraction is performed, then the recognition accuracy improves, but the computational cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo segment scoring accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The computational workload is segmented across three specialized feature extraction models (audio, video, text) that operate in parallel. This distribution allows efficient utilization of computational resources while maintaining comprehensive multi-modal analysis for accurate video segment scoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary feature extraction on audio, video, and text content separately before combining them for final highlight segment identification. This preliminary processing organizes data in advance, reducing the computational burden during the final scoring and recognition phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If the entire video is processed to identify highlights, then the completeness of highlight detection is high, but the processing time is long

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehighlight detection completenessVSAvoidvideo processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The video is automatically segmented into multiple segments, and the system processes each segment independently using multi-modal features. This segmentation enables comprehensive highlight detection across the entire video while reducing overall processing time through parallel processing of divided segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts key features (audio, video, text) that are most relevant to highlight identification, focusing computational effort on the most informative aspects of each video segment rather than processing all possible video data equally, thus achieving complete highlight detection with reduced processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
