Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video search systems are inconvenient and time-consuming for users as they require separate reproduction of multiple video sections to determine details, which can be cumbersome and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A video search system that includes a search engine to extract video data matching a search condition and a browsing engine to generate a summarized video by rendering objects in an overlapping manner on a background model, maintaining object appearing order, and allowing three-dimensional rendering and filtering based on user requests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If separate reproduction of multiple video sections is used, then users can determine details of video sections, but it causes inconvenience and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetail recognition accuracyVSAvoidtime for video review
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple video sections into a single summarized video by superimposing multiple video streams at different transparency levels. This allows users to view details from multiple sections simultaneously without separate reproduction, resolving the contradiction between detail recognition accuracy and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a temporal dimension by overlaying video sections at different time points with varying transparency. This dimensional approach allows users to perceive multiple video moments simultaneously in a unified visual space, eliminating the need for sequential separate reproduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If video summary is made by reducing play length, then convenient function of recognizing details is provided, but video information may be lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of detail recognitionVSAvoidvideo information completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple video sections with different transparency levels to create a summarized video that maintains information completeness. By merging video streams rather than simply reducing play length, the system preserves detailed information while providing convenient single-video access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses transparency as an intermediary mechanism to balance information completeness and convenience. Different video sections are overlaid at varying transparency levels, allowing users to access detailed information without requiring complete video reproduction, thus preventing information loss while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple objects are rendered in overlapping manner, then search result visualization is improved, but rendering complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch result visualization capabilityVSAvoidrendering process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic rendering by adjusting transparency levels of overlaid video sections based on search results. This dynamic approach allows the system to visualize multiple objects in overlapping manners while managing rendering complexity through algorithmic control of visual properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the transparency parameter of video sections to achieve overlapping rendering of multiple objects. By adjusting this single key parameter rather than implementing complex rendering pipelines, the system improves visualization capability while controlling rendering process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
