Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional systems for selecting media samples from multi-sport, multi-day events are cumbersome, time-consuming, and impersonal, leading to low viewership and returning customers.

Innovation Solution

Employing AI techniques to generate personalized summary videos based on user preferences and personal data, integrating a subset of media samples and voiceovers, with optional human auditing to produce digestible and engaging content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional manual selection methods are used to choose media samples, then observers can select individual media samples of interest, but the process becomes cumbersome, time-consuming, and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of media sample selectionVSAvoidtime required for media sample selection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic media sample selection itself without requiring user intervention. The AI system analyzes user preferences, event data, and media metadata to autonomously curate and assemble personalized highlight reels, eliminating the manual selection process entirely

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of selecting media samples with an automated AI-based system. Machine learning algorithms process and analyze data to automatically select and assemble media samples, substituting human manual operations with automated computational processes

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

2Productivity

If traditional impersonal applications are used, then media samples can be delivered to users, but viewership and returning customers remain relatively low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewership and customer retentionVSAvoidpersonalization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system customizes the media content specifically for each individual user based on their unique preferences, viewing history, and personal data. Each user receives a personalized highlight reel tailored to their specific interests rather than a generic uniform content delivery

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts the media content based on real-time user preferences and behavior. The AI continuously learns from user interactions and adjusts the personalized content accordingly, making the system flexible and responsive to changing user needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Quantity of substance

If comprehensive media coverage is provided for multi-sport events, then observers have access to extensive media samples, but the vast number of samples makes selection and loading cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of media samples availableVSAvoidcomplexity of media management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI system extracts only the most relevant and important media samples from the vast available pool. It identifies and pulls out key highlights and essential content based on user preferences, eliminating the need for users to navigate through unnecessary media samples

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of presenting all available media samples, the system applies partial action by selecting only a curated subset of the most valuable content. This selective approach provides sufficient coverage without overwhelming the user with excessive media samples

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A computer-implemented includes determining, via processing circuitry, user preference data relating to a user and a television or streaming event. The computer-implemented method also includes determining, via the processing circuitry and based on the user preference data, a sub-set of media samples from a plurality of media samples stored in a database system and corresponding to the television or streaming event. The computer-implemented method also includes determining, via the processing circuitry, personal data indicative of the user. The computer-implemented method also includes generating, via the processing circuitry, based on generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) techniques, and based on the personal data, a summary video voiceover. The computer-implemented method also includes generating, via the processing circuitry, a summary video of the television or streaming event, the summary video comprising the sub-set of media samples and the summary video voiceover.
