Personalized Video Generation Through Frame-Level EDL Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video generation methods, such as MPEG, require significant energy consumption for creating and distributing personalized videos due to the need for decompressing and recompressing entire files, leading to high power usage and environmental impact.
Innovation Solution
A method involving converting video files into a compressed format structure, accessing user profiles to identify relevant portions, and generating a personalized electronic edit decision list (EDL) to provide a personalized video using only selected portions, reducing data transmission and energy consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If MPEG video standards are used to generate and distribute personalized videos, then video quality and compatibility are maintained, but energy consumption increases significantly due to decompressing and recompressing entire files
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video file into multiple independent frame segments that can be individually selected and transmitted. Instead of processing entire video files, the system divides them into smaller units (frames or frame groups) that can be independently manipulated, stored, and transmitted based on user preferences, thereby reducing the energy required for compression and transmission operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the necessary video frames required for personalized video generation rather than processing entire video files. By identifying and extracting specific frames based on user profiles and preferences, the system avoids the energy-intensive process of decompressing and recompressing unnecessary portions of video content.
2Loss of time
If entire video files are transmitted to users, then complete content is available, but data transmission time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments video content into individual frames or frame groups that can be transmitted separately. This allows the system to send only the specific frames needed for personalized video generation rather than transmitting entire video files, significantly reducing both upload time and energy consumption while maintaining access to complete content on the server.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary segmentation and indexing of video frames on the server before user requests. Video files are pre-divided into selectable frame segments and stored in an accessible format, allowing rapid retrieval and transmission of only necessary frames when users request personalized videos, thereby reducing real-time processing time and energy usage.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple versions of compressed video files are generated for different devices, then adaptability to various viewing conditions is improved, but processing time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments video content into standardized frame units that can be independently selected and transmitted. Instead of creating multiple complete video file versions for different devices, the system transmits appropriate frame segments that can be assembled into personalized videos adapted to specific device requirements, maintaining versatility while improving processing speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the specific video frames necessary for each user's device and preferences rather than generating complete video files in multiple formats. This approach provides sufficient adaptability for different viewing conditions while significantly reducing processing time and resource requirements.
4Manufacturing precision
If frame-by-frame editing is performed on MPEG files, then precise video customization is achieved, but decompression of every frame is required increasing energy usage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments video content into individual frame units that can be independently selected and manipulated. This segmentation allows precise frame-by-frame editing and customization without requiring decomposition of entire video files, as each frame is already an independent selectable unit stored on the server.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the video frame segments to serve themselves by being pre-stored in an accessible, independently selectable format. The frames are organized and indexed so that they can be directly retrieved and assembled into personalized videos without requiring energy-intensive decompression and re-compression operations, maintaining editing precision while reducing energy consumption.

AI summary
There is provided a computer-implemented method of generating a personalized video for a user, which is edited from an original video, e.g. using information collected about other users' preferences regarding the original video, to generate an Edit Decision List (EDL) defining the edits for the original video, and providing video output including the original video edited by the EDL. Related computer-implemented methods, systems, servers, user terminals and computer program products are provided.
