Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If automated video recording devices are used to capture events, then the volume of recorded footage increases, but the time required for manual editing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume of video footageVSAvoidtime required for editing
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically editing the recorded video footage using machine learning algorithms. The automated video editor analyzes metadata, identifies highlights, and creates edited videos without requiring manual intervention, thus eliminating the time loss associated with manual editing while processing the large volume of recorded footage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual editing process with an automated computational system. The machine learning-based automated video editor substitutes human editors and manual cutting/pasting operations with algorithmic processing that automatically selects and assembles video clips based on analyzed metadata and patterns

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

2Manufacturing precision

If professional editing services are employed, then editing quality may improve, but cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting qualityVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides self-service editing capabilities that eliminate the need for expensive professional editing services. The automated video editor performs editing functions independently using machine learning algorithms, achieving quality comparable to professional services while significantly reducing cost by replacing human labor with automated computation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a digital copy of the editing process through machine learning models that learn from and replicate professional editing patterns. The system analyzes metadata and video content to generate edited versions that mirror professional editing decisions, providing high-quality output without the associated human expert cost

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual video editing is performed, then editing flexibility is maintained, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting flexibilityVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The automated video editor incorporates dynamic adaptability by learning from user feedback and adjusting its editing patterns accordingly. The system can adapt to different video types, events, and user preferences through machine learning, maintaining editing flexibility while eliminating the time consumption of manual editing through automated decision-making

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
